text: The answer is in your question: foolish. \nI didn't start because my friends pushed it on me...they didn't (hey, more for them, I guess they were thinking), so I really don't know why I did. I bet a lot of people couldn't tell you why, but I can guarantee no-one is glad they did. In four months it will be 20 years that I've smoked. I WILL quit before then....I will never say "I've smoked for over twenty years!" YUCK! BTW, I do agree that it's horrible and it's killing people, but it's really not necessary that non-smokers insult smokers like they do. I am not gross...I'm not like that "Maxine" lady with a cig hanging out of my mouth with a ash a mile long. I'm a very intelligent person, a friend to anyone in need and I love my family very much....I just made a mistake.\nBTW, part of this answer was for any smoker haters that might be reading :o)
