In 4th grade my friend introduced me to cigarettes. I would light them up and pretend to smoke them but never actually inhaled. That got old after a few days so I gave it up.

The wife smokes and she won't quit until she dies of lung cancer.

Tell her what my Aunt tells her husband, who smokes. She says if he dies of lung cancer she's going to call his death a suicide in his obituary.

You just weren't meant to be one of the cool kids.

If you are between 55-74
Have smoked a minimum of 30 PPYhx (pack per day X 30 yrs)
Or have stopped less than 15 years ago, you qualify for a LDLCT

Low dose lung CT to screen for nodules/lung cancer.

In 2013, legislation was passed that insurances had to pay for this screening exam (much like they would a mammogram or colonoscopy)

Ask your PCP, if they are not educated on it, here are the details:

I’m 63, feel 43, look 73.

Thanks for the info. I’ll ask about it the next time I see her.

In CA, you are allowed to grow up to 6 plants for personal use. I currently have 4 growing in my backyard.

Have seen pediatric patients do very well with both CBD and THC.

Does she consume it in food?

I'm 56, and all my friends tell me that if I lost some weight, and put some coloring in my hair, I could easily pass for 55.

My grandmother smoked most of her life but managed to quit in the 80s. She died of stomach cancer 10 years later.

P.S. Your ex was smoking hot.

[Hardluck]

Quit almost 20 years ago. Have the urge to smoke a cigar once in a while but won't do it cause I don't want to inhale!

Sorry that didn't work out for you.
