[QUOTE="wundrbird, post: 15518794, member: 18025"] I'm married, but if I were single there is no way I'd ever date a smoker. I told my wife to pack her bags before she ever considers taking up the habit. My grandmother smoked her entire life. She lived (barely) the last three years of her life with COPD, emphysema, and congestive heart failure. She had her first heart attack at 40. She had cardiac angioplasty four times to keep her alive. She had renal angioplasty to save a kidney. She had poor circulation in her legs where she couldn't climb a flight of stairs for the last 10 years of her life without severe pain and, of course, loss of breath. Even with all that, though, she worked until a year before she passed at 80 years old, so I can only imagine that she'd still be alive and healthy today at the age of 86 if she'd never picked up a damn cigarette. My uncle smoked until a few years ago. He's had two major heart attacks, has COPD and mild emphysema, is on blood thinners for the rest of his life, has a full set of dentures (lost his teeth because of smoking), and can't walk for more than a mile without having to rest an entire day. He's 62. My grandfather smoked until his death at age 57. Multiple heart attacks. My other grandfather smoked and died of cancer when he was 59. He had skin and lung cancer. The worst? My mother. She died in 1979 when she was 26 years old. I was six. A combination of heavy smoking and high-hormone birth control prescribed back in those days. Her arteries were as clogged as any 80-year-old lifetime smoker's. My wife's doctor will kill her BC prescription if she starts smoking because of the known interactions. Now I'm watching friends and coworkers around my age (44) starting to have really bad health problems caused by smoking. It's ridiculous. [/QUOTE]
