Re:Smoking 2 Weeks, 4 Days ago

I think it's a symptom of superficiality - this Century's Weapon of Ultimate Destruction by Satan (or by the streak of insanity in humanity that causes self immolation). Alcohol is poison but I enjoy a glass of wine now and then, a beer or even (yesterday) a giant JK Bloody Mary made with Malibu Rum. Smoking is, like alcohol, addictive but people should be able to control their consumption. When my Mother, at 91, was dying from veins and arteries destroyed by 70 years of smoking, she told me, if she'd known, she would never have smoked if she'd been aware of the pain it would cause.
Education, information - like so much (including The Law) - not extreme reactions (like Brexit; Lockdowns etc).

gave up drinking alcohol 20 years ago (yes even Champagne ) and haven't missed it at all.
Both my parents gave up cigarettes in their 40s and never went back or went through withdrawals.
I tried ciggies at 14 when my favourite aunt let me smoke a pack of her Sobranie Cocktail Cigarettes which I thought were so smart..was vilely ill for a week and never touched another..very clever of her.
