Reply #52: Jack your habit is so damn healthy that when my dad came home [View All]

after his fall and fractured hip... and reached for his cigarettes, I went to the doctor to get steroids for my asthma which got out of hand. My problems with smoking in my home have nuthing to do with neatness... but for some silly reason... I like breathing. Thankfully I did not have to go to the ER as well, get some oxygen and end up in the local ICU unit. We caught it early enough where more extreme measures to keep me breathing were not needed.

I don't demonize your habit... err addiction... and yes, it is a medical fact that any long term smoker is addicted... you my dad, does not make a difference... what can I say? Crack cocaine is a hoot and so is crack tobacco. In fact, tobacco's physical dependence is stronger than cocaine... again another of them pesky medical facts.

So if you want to smoke, be my guest, just NOT near me. As I said... I am somewhat addicted to breathing... and asthma is hardly conducive to that, at least in a healthy manner.
