After the recent trend of post named after Lurker greats, and my own feelings about the subject, I bring you Pirengle's Smoking Thread.
DeeBye's Thread
My entire immediate family smokes tobacco but me. I was picked on all throughout public schooling about how my clothes and hair smelled like stale cigarettes. My parents are both pack-a-day smokers. My parents have both tried to quit without success.
My grandfather farmed tobacco throughout most of his adult life and also smoked cigarettes. I've done my fair share of summer tobacco planting and know how to grow and cure the plants. I got a call from Dad earlier this evening that my grandfather is in the hospital with lung problems related to cigarettes.
Is it your choice to smoke? Yes, but it wasn't my choice to live with it, and I've made that clear to my family.
I want opinions and heated debate.
