I too smoke, about a pack a day. I picked up the habit from my husband, a Viet Nam Vet, who chain smokes. At one time we had a friend who had been shot and was a parapelegic, he smoked pot to calm his nerves. We smoked with him for years, getting high relieved all three of us from severe anxiety. When he died we quit. It has been a really long time now that we haven't smoked weed. Sometimes I miss it. It was a huge cost to us and I noticed how badly we coughed so the health results were palpable. We were far more suseptible to lung infections and brochial related sickness. My husband and I both have tried many times to quit. I did for eight years, quit cold turkey one day after a horrible confrontation with a person who tried to choke me. I started again when a pedophile showed up at my workplace one day. Recognizing him shook me to my core. I went to the break room where others were smoking and bummed a cigarette from a co-worker and from that day on I have been smoking.
