My parents smoked, my in-laws smoked, my OH and I smoked. I decided to give up properly when my mother died. She had dementia, and although its not caused by smoking, it doesn't help. I saw a hypnotherapist, because I really enjoyed a cig, and my previous attempts hadn't worked, even after a bad bout of bronchitis! That was more than 25 years ago, and I've not touched one since. My OH gave up the following year, his heart attack was his inspiration. 🙄
I certainly wouldn't criticise Bee, zoony, or any of our generation for smoking. But young people have knowledge that wasn't there when we started, and they still smoke. I think thats barmy. My OH said the other evening, after a nice meal when we were having a glass of port, that was the kind of moment when he really would have enjoyed a smoke, and I agreed. 😎
