I know several people who have quit smoking for as long as 10 years and started back up again. I have never been a smoker, although I grew up in a home in which both parents smoked. My two brothers are both smokers, as is my lovely female accomplice. I figure the smoke I’ve been exposed to won’t hurt me any more than the automobile exhaust I deal with, or the smoke from all the fires I used to run into and extinguish. However, concentrating that smoke by purposely inhaling it, will definitely cause at least some sorts of medical problems. A lot of that though depends on your activity and heredity. My mother died of a heart attack at age 66. My father who has been a smoker for 62 of his 78 years still lives, and still is healthy enough to walk 18 holes of golf twice weekly.
