Hey Rita,
Gr8 story about ur smoking history. Sounds like u come from a long line of smokers.
It would be gr8 to having smoking parents. U r so right, how they fault u when they light up also.
Did u plan to increase ur smoking in college or did it just happen? BTW...what brand do u smoke?
Hugs,
Kate
