Never have. never will. I grew up in a house where both parents smoked. None of the 4 kids do. After a bout with cancer last year, I would highly recommend everyone quit. One chemo treatment will make you a believer...

Yes, and Lee I truly wish that I wasn't. I have been trying to prepare myself mentally to stop in the near future. I have been a smoker since my late teens and just turned 57 yesterday. I work in high stress environment and will need mucho will power to pull it off. I don't smoke in other folks boat if they don't want me too but I do smoke in mine.

Same here, I think most of us feel the same way. Your not alone. We are older. Started for a myriad of reasons but way back then, it was an 'accepted' habit. But, we didn't know then....it was a habit! God Bless Yes, and Lee I truly wish that I wasn't. I have been trying to prepare myself mentally to stop in the near future. I have been a smoker since my late teens and just turned 57 yesterday. I work in high stress environment and will need mucho will power to pull it off.

like a freight train when on the water. At home, not so much.

Naw, gave it up several years ago, never looked back. I want to live to be able to enjoy some of the fruits of all those years of busting my [censored]. Although I do enjoy a good cigar once in a while, but not on the boat.
Cheers,
George
