One of my friends developed lung cancer in her young 20's. She has never been exposed to any amount of cigarette smoke for a significant length of time. She has never smoked. When her physicians saw that her case of lung cancer had nothing to do with cigarettes they were shocked.
I've never smoked. Never wanted to risk damaging my voice.
I like the scent of tobacco. I especially enjoy the scent of apple-flavored huka tobacco. I find it relaxing to watch someone smoke. I enjoy sitting on a cafe patio where people are smoking. I have never experienced someone blowing smoke purposefully directly in my face. That is the equivalent of spitting in someone's face. I don't enjoy kissing someone after they have smoked a cigarette, nor do I enjoy falling asleep next to someone who smells like cigarettes. Scented huka tobacco is much more pleasant. I detest the smell of pot. Bad pot is even more disgusting. I feel quite differently about mixes of pot and flavored tobacco - that's enjoyable to be around. I love incense. To prepare for a big exam, I will sit in a park listening to the birds and burn a stick of incense.
