That's not necessarily true. I know some really nice people who didn't want to smoke but they couldn't avoid it because it's what their parents do.KingPeePantsMcGee said:
Fortunately for me, not one person in my family, and it is quite a large family, smoke. This includes parents, aunts, uncles, cousins etc... Only my Great Aunt did about 10 years ago and she fairly recently died of cancer as a result. Also, one of my grandmothers smoked 60 years ago. She gave up smoking because she wanted a family; however, you could see the permanent damage of what had already been done every time she coughed, even though she hadn't touched a cigarette for all those years. Remarkably, she lived up until 93 and was one of the minority who never developed cancer. Giving up smoking earlier in her life rather than later must've really helped.
I personally will never touch a cigarette or any type of harmful drug. It's not worth the damage it does for temporary relief.
