I haven’t smoked in 32 years.

I would recommend that you start it up again. It would make the rest of your life so much more enjoyable, and might help out with that pesky weight and cholesterol problem.

Worked for my dear old Dad (1927-2007, started smoking at age 9)

Just don't go into any medical facilities unless you have to do so.

There are sick people in there that can transmit all kinds of crap to you and do you in.

I was stationed in Havana 1993-1997. I resisted trying any cigars for about 26 months. Then one night, the Canadian Ambassador forced a panatella on me. I was afraid that if I ever put anything with fire on the end of it in my mouth again, I'd go back to cigaretts. I didn't. I may have a cigar once every two years or so, but I still dream about smoking cigarettes, and wake up feeling guilty all day. No thanks, elkman. I'll take my chances being smoke free.

Great looking elk, BTW. The wife and I spent a week in the back country in Idaho last June and saw a bunch of them. Noble beasts.
