Decades ago, when i was growing up in middle america almost everyone i knew smoked cigarettes, they were the most decent, intelligent hardworking salt of the earth people i ever met.....who never did drugs till the day they died.
See drugs will kill you! The horror!
Just funnin ya. Coulrn't resist your turn of phrase.
I knew a lot of people like that growing up but actually they WERE using at least one drug, NICOTINE. Some say it is actually the most addictive substance known, I don’t know about that but having been hooked on it for eleven years I can say it is very difficult to kick the nicotine habit. Women seem to have a much harder time giving it up than men even and for someone who is not hooked on it it is disgusting to be around people who are, tobacco smells very bad, makes clothes, cars, furniture, hair, everything smell bad.
