My great-grandfather rolled his own until the day he died in his mid-90’s. His son (my dad’s dad.) had his first heart attack in his early 50s and died of his second heart attack a year later.(Lifelong smoker) My dad had his heart attack mid-60’s and quit, still alive at 75.
I’m just happy it’s one bad habit I managed to miss.

“I’m just happy it’s one bad habit I managed to miss.”
It’s the only bad habit I’ve picked up that I liked ... I know it sounds ridiculous, but I enjoy smoking (and I am addicted to nicotine ... I’m not in denial).
I do NOT like the disease that it brings though ... plus I can’t stand feeling like trash and the price of cigarettes is beyond ridiculous these days.
I use a vape thing more and more these days. I’m down to about 5 or 6 “regulars” per day ... that total has been falling. If I keep this up, I think I’ll be smoke free (both vape and regulars) in another year at most. I’ll miss it, but I think I like living a hell of a lot more than smoking :-).
