My stepfather started smoking Kools at 13, smoked them all his life, and died of COPD (emphysema) at 49. At the time of his death, I was in the Air Force and had taken up smoking in boot camp/basic because if you smoked you got a smoke break if you didn't smoke you didn't get a break, and in boot camp, you wanted all the breaks you could get. I stopped smoking on his death, I decided I did not want to die that young or that hard. Emphysema is a hard death.....

I was smoking less than half a pack a day when I quit. I smoked an occasional cigar, after that, maybe 3 or 4 a year, but I even quit that over 25 years ago. It has been 28 years since I smoked a cigar, my last cigar was in 1997.

I was there when my father took his last breath. He died from Emphysema. Smoked camel non-filtered cigs for 50 years then switched to filtered ones (big deal). My late wife died from Emphysema also and it took a long time. She was only 64. Personally I have never smoked my entire life.

Treasure_Hunter is right.... Emphysema is a hard death. I'm glad TV ads were banned for cigarettes long ago. But I hate the solicitation from drug companies directly to the public.

When traveling in Indonesia the locals would take out a bag of tobacco leaf.
Crumble it up, add some cloves.
We'd be sitting right in the seats near them, and it wasn't bad at all.
When the quit dragging on the rolled smoke, it went out.
I didn't hear smoker's coughs, phlegm hacking like one does in NA.
Their smokes didn't have the chemical fertilizers, added, chemical, nor the fiberglass filters.
It always made me wonder if the ingredients that the industry added is the leading cause to health issues.

This year it'll be my 37th year for smokes, or joints.
