Smartest thing I ever did when I was 21 ( I wasnt very smart back then). If you need some motivation to quit google search "end stage emphysema" if that doesnt get you cancer will. The plastic bag bear hug scenario descibed above is what emphysema is like. Also add uncontrollable exhausting coughing fits, clinging for life to an inhaler, Oxygen bottles, and wheelchairs etc. Johnny Carson ended his life this way. Hope this helps Gonzo
