    Growing, I had a next door neighbor who almost died from lung cancer. She used to smoke multiple times a day on her back porch, which had a clear view of my backyard where I would play or use the swing set. She stopped smoking because she didn’t want me to see her smoke and look trashy, and her cancer would have increased and been more difficult to treat if she had continued smoking in her backyard. She didn’t tell me her secret until I startled college and my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and looking for guidance.

Edit - actually I have heard that smoking has been banned on flights so they don't change the air in the cabin as frequently. That's two reasons why people are grumpy and irritable on flights these days: 1-smokers are missing their nicotine hit and 2- higher levels of CO2 in the cabin making people more aggravated.

    I have heard they used to use asbestos in cigarette filters; most likely the cigarette manufacturers used chrysotile asbestos as 95% of the asbestos that was used in products worldwide. The other problem with smoking and asbestos exposure there is a synergistic effect, meaning that there is an 80% likelihood of getting lung cancer, mesothelioma and asbestosis.

Yet the flu shots are freely giving to us but when we are in pain they do not give a flying f ? Mainly because they are only thinking about being on a power trip and forcing us to be ruled over by people we do not want to be ruled over by or to live among that are nut jobs that say everything is bad while what is bad they say it is not bad and the people who say this and that is bad have no room to talk about what bad is and it mostly people who have a eating disorder ? I mean you go to there homes where they live at fat or skinny they live like pigs or they have someone cleaning up there mess while acting like they are all holy and wise yet they send there children off to school because they do not even know much of anything themselves , While wise people learned from each other by exploring and learning to share and care with good company and then they decided to have children to teach them what they know and to look out for one another so they do not make stupid mistakes?

    When I was in the military in the mid 1960s, you could get a pack of cigarettes for 15 cents at the px. When I quit smoking around 1980, cigarettes were 75 cents a pack. I thought that was a lot of money. When I hear what a pack of cigarettes cost now, I'm happy zI quit when I did.

They also got complimentary cartons of Kents each week- which they often traded for their own preferred brands at local supermarkets.

    I've never smoked, so tell me this: is there such a thing as "flavor", as every single ad tells us? How about "mildness"? I think these were buzzwords to distract away from the harmful effects of tobacco. I saw a doc with a tobacco executive admitting that all cigarette brands are essentially the same, and even having different brands is deceptive. And filters don't help, nor do the "low tar and nicotene" cigarettes that were pushed in the '70s. Then there's Virginia Slims: "You've come a long way, baby!" Worst ad campaign in human history.

    I smoked for many years. Yes, there are different tasting cigarettes. Certain tobaccos have a very strong taste. Kinda like ice tea. Some like really strong tea , then some prefer a lighter tasting tea. That's a cigarette.

    I tried all the different brands and can tell a story around each one, like how my teenage friend Marty used to steal Marlboros off his mom and I stole Kents off my neighbor Joe. Stealing cigarettes is my cherished boyhood memories. I always did like Pall Mall and Camel, but they were too strong. I smoked Winstons for 20 years. I started smoking at around age 9 or 10 on Newports and Lucky Strike.

    I stole Red Prince from my mother at that age as well, but I never god hooked on cigarettes. I do smoke cigars and a pipe at occasions, though.
