I've never smoked or had the urge too. I can't stand the smell now.

Both my parents used to smoke. Mom smoked casually and when she found out she was pregnant with me, she quit, then started again after I was born, and so on when she was pregnant with Linn and then Jenn. After Jenn was born, she never started up again.

Dad did smoke but I don't remember it. I think I was about 5 when he quit cold turkey. My Dad's Father died of Emphesema (sp?) and his Step-Dad died of liver faliure from drinking too much.

I wish people didn't smoke but I understand it can be hard to quit if you want too.

It's all about choices.
