I never had the urge to take up smoking. Both my grandfathers smoked, but one of them developed emphysema. Toward the end, he was on oxygen constantly, was bedridden, thin as a rail, and didn't even have the breath to eat. That cured me of *ever* wanting to smoke.
In the military, a pack of cigarettes was about 20¢ at the base exchange.
Everybody was buying them along with the Zippo lighters. Including yours truly.
I don’t know why, but I never tried smoking when I was a teenager in school.
I got terribly sick to my stomach when I first tried it in the military.
Grass once and hated the smell.
On occasions I have tried the meerschaum pipes because i like the color as it changes
to a darker hue.
But I haven’t picked up a pipe in 20 years.
