I grew up in a non-smoking family. I didn't see my father smoke even before he's working as a manager in a palm industry in Agusan del Sur but I do remember that he received lots of cigars ( maybe some of them are discount swisher sweets cigars) as gifts from foreign contractors. Maybe my uncles do smoke but they respected my family so I didn't see any of them smoking. Because of this, you could understand my prayer to God that I wanted a husband who won't smoke. Yes, I'm that specific to God when I ask for a partner in life. He did answer that prayer. My hubby doesn't smoke but he did had a short-lived stint on smoking. Maybe all guys passed through that stage. I asked him during that short-lived stint, what did he feel after smoking. He responded that the physical act of exhaling can relieve him especially if it's a tense-filled moments. What made him stop? His main concern is his breath. He doesn't want the antisocial breath the cigarettes caused. So glad he made the right choice. Kissing him for the first time wasn't a problem after all...LOL!
As much as possible I stay away from smokers. It's not that I don't like smokers. It's the smokes I'm concerned of. Doctors say that secondhand smoke can even do more harm.
I once had a female classmate in high school who smokes. I asked her why she started smoking. Her answer: It looks smart to have a cigarette in between her fingers and it looks sophisticated. I'm not convinced! Are you?
