I'm a former smoker so I know what I'm talking about. It was such stupid thing to do. It was also highly addictive, so I know how hard it is to quit.

No one is allowed to smoke in my house or car. It's so wonderful to be free of the addiction.

Fortunately, we have a lot of non-smoking rules here in Oregon, so there is no smoking where I work and no smoking in public buildings, stores, or restaurants (except sometimes in bars).

I know there are a lot of young Pet Talkers out there - DON'T EVER START SMOKING!!!!!
