my late uncle John was a 2-pack a day smoker.
until he died at at 60 from emphysema.
(RIP JW)
fortunately, i never started. my dad used to smoke cigars, then pipe, then stopped for a while. now he's back on cigars, much to my mom's displeasure. but at 73, you're not gonna change him. he's survived prostate cancer and a heart attack, so he probably figures he's gonna enjoy his twilight years.
