smoke - yes
how much - pack a day average
why- bad habit, been at it now about 14 years
started out smoking when drinking since i thought it enhanced the buzz and it went hand in hand anyway. ended up getting addicted.
dont really smoke upon awakening or when at work or busy in general, its after work, free/spare time, boredom, sweating games, stress, drinking, after meals, after sex, ect
father a heavy smoker growing up. always coughing to the point of being annoying and it smelled bad, always said i wouldnt smoke and here i am a smoker.
funny thing is i just buy smokes by the pack or two and sometimes even three and dont really even buy cartoons. probably bought a cartoon less than a half dozen times out of the 14 years of smoking. just a way of trying to convince myself to kick one day.
i remember living with the folks. pop, mom, sister and i. sister has asthma and mother bad allergies/sinuses, so of course the smoke bothered them. my old man would hang out downstairs so it wouldnt affect them, but when he was upstairs, would wait til everyone went to bed and then smoke out in the living room or sometimes in the bathrrom wih the door closed and window open when he wasnt lazy.
thing is it doesnt matter as the smoke lingers and people can still smell it. they would get to sneezing and it would bother them both. tried talking to him about going outside and having some consderation for the situation, but it was always a temporary solution as he would get lazy eventually and just light up in the house.
after bringing it up constantly, he would just get irritated and say hes not talking about it and then get mad and say okay okay il go outside, but never would anyway. we would have to change the subject.
still to this day he does it and it continues to bother them and they oth suffer. never understod why the guy just cant go outside, but its plain lazy. when we ask him if he just doesnt care about being considerate of others he just gets pissed.
its crazy that he hasnt had any real health issues other than root canal and having gums scraped because he smaokes about 2 packs a day average for hell, about 40 years now.
