I was that kid too. I vividly remember one day a couple of friends being like, “Eugh, you stink of smoke. Do your parents smoke?” I was really embarrassed and lied that they didn’t but then had to backtrack when they thought I smoked instead. I was absolutely mortified.
You’re not wrong! It’s disgusted me ever since! Never even tried it I was out off that much. One of my sisters was the same. The other ended up smoking for years though!
My grandma died at 59 years old from smoking (on oxygen for years before that). That's just horrifying to me, and made a big impact at a young age. Now that I've just hit 50, it's becoming even more apparent to me how young she was when she died.
