I was never a smoker but I chewed tobacco for about 20 years. At 52 after I was diagnosed with prostate cancer (not related to tobacco) I decided that the gamble was not worth it.
I switched to nicotine gum. Made my wife very happy. I love it and I can do it anywhere and it doesn't bother anyone.
Now I am addicted to the gum, but what the heck at least it does not cause cancer and gross everyone out.
“I love it and I can do it anywhere and it doesn’t bother anyone.”
Don’t worry, sooner or later someone will bitch.
