"We smokers are a tough bunch----"

LOL!
Ain't it the truth!!

Reminds me of a story:
A man I worked for offshore several years ago quit smoking.
He came out to the rig one day about six months after he quit, and he was sitting in my office when I lit a cigarette. He started coughing and hacking and his eyes watered and his nose ran. I apologized to him and put it out.
He said, "You know, I never had any allergies until I quit smoking. Now I'm eat up with allergies! I can't even mow the damn grass without a respirator! I always went to the bars and smoked and drank and shot pool; now I can't even go in one without nearly dying."
I said, "Do you reckon it's worth it?"
He said, "I'm beginning to have my doubts!"
I haven't seen him in years so I don't know if he's still off the cigarettes or not, but, to me, it wouldn't be worth it.
