[Oh Haha]

I have often thought this same thing. I haven't had a smoke in almost three years. I quit when we found out my wife was expecting our first.
I ,however, know that if I bum one I could be starting again. I have smoked on and off through my 20's and into my 30's. I played in a band so it just became part of the life.( No funny cigarettes, though.)
I don't drink much anymore, either. A beer every now and then but that's it. I don't go to clubs or bars so the temptation is taken away by self policing. My Dad died from smoking related issues so I am disgusted by the habit and don't know why someone would slowly kill themselves. But...........this is a free country and you can do what you want. Besides, at the cost of smokes, that is a lot of money that I can justify going into the Porsche!!
My opinion on the pipe? If you think you will pick up cigarettes again then don't even start smoking anything. Sorry about the rant.
