RE: Today in History: Tobacco first introduced to Europe
i know man. Things have changed so much in our lifetimes. When i was in high school and college cigarettes were super cheap and smoking was acceptable just about anywhere. I remember people smoking in grocery stores and giant floor ashtrays just being everywhere
I was a smoker in college and briefly quit while i was still there and never knew how bad smokers smell until i wasn't one of them anymore. Of course I ended up starting again as a lot of smokers tend to. I think we kind of become more sensible as we get closer to 40 and the consequences of our habits start to become more evident to us.
I am pretty lucky that I never picked up the habit. I guess I have my parents to thank for that. I get a little sad when I see my friends that have kids and stuff still smoking. I want better for them and their families.
