(51,076 posts)back when it was cool or seemed to be to us kids. I'm talking about when I was 5 years old. By the time I started school in '54 I was as good of a cigarette roller as any grown man. My dad smoked Prince Albert and as soon as he'd lay down the snipe my brother or I'd grab it and to the barn we'd go. Dad didn't like the rolling papers that came with the cans of PA so he bought OCB's. That left the PA papers for my brother and I to scarf up for our rolling needs. Three of dads snips would be enough tobacco for us to roll a good cigarette that we'd share. I finally quit the habit on august 14 1977. Remember the day well. Cigarettes had recently had gone up to 60 cents a pack and that was the camel that broke the straws back. By that time I was smoking two packs a day plus an ounce of weed a week. Today I barely can breath, COPD. I'm fucked when it comes to anything that is more than a small short walk in the woods or in the yard now.
Anyways that partly how I came to be a man who has no lungs to breath with today.
69 YO and as healthy as a horse except for the lung problem
Thats what my doctor told me once after looking at my blood work. You're as healthy as a horse from looking at this, he said
