I started this thread not because I have never been around smokers, most of my family smokes. My stepfather has been on the gum for two years after smoking for about 37 years. My sister started smoking in her freshman year of college. My stepsister started in high school, as did her brother. They are all older than me. My stepfather is an alcoholic with 20 years of sobriety, and his son has been sober and drug-free(mostly pot) for about 7 years. Oh, my brother-in-law started smoking at age 36. My stepsister, sister, and brother-in-law can knock back some drinks on occasion, but they are mostly social drinkers. Though all of them should probably have had some dui's at some points of their lives. I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs, and I don't actually care what people do as long as it does not affect myself or others who don't want it. If I go to a restaurant, then I want to be able to eat and enjoy my food without half-choking on smoke. It also drives me ape-shit when I see parents smoking in cars with their children inside. Fuck up your own lives, but don't screw your children while you are at it.
