Dad got started smoking from cigarettes in C-Rats during WW2. Up to 3 packs a day throughout most of the 88 years he had. I often said he should sue Uncle Sam for starting him.
Since he was my hero, I started at about 17. Got to a pack a day in the Army, and I quit for 6 months. Stress got to me and I started again.
I quit for a year or so later on. Both brothers smoke, and watching Dad decline in the hospice, I started again.
I still smoke some, but not a lot. I'll go for days without. Unless I'm into the beer with friends, a pack last me 3 or 4 days. Wifey tells me I should quit again, but we'll see. If I'm working outside or hunting, I don't see the harm.
