When I lived in Africa you could buy single cigarettes. I got in the habit of having one after dinner and quite liked it.

Back in the States you have to buy packs and my one, after dinner smoke turned into 5 or 6 a day. I saw what was happening and quit. Don’t miss it at all.

I watched Nathan Fletcher wear multiple sets in the row on the dome and just keep flinging water. He was paddling and duck diving for like 15 minutes straight.

When I was a young lad I worked at a Sebu Hotel as a Banquet Waiter. Every year his team the Sebu Lions would Spring Train on Maui. Every player chain smoked.

West of the Atlantic. East of the ICW.
I'd let you ask my dad about that, but you can't because he smoked like a chimney and died of lung cancer way too young.

Watched my grandfather die of emphysema in his early 60s. Cigarettes repulse me as a result of seeing the way he went. Last few years he couldn't walk 15 feet without catching his breath. Can't stand the smell.

I don't smoke but I reminisce the days when you could smoke inside of a bar or restaurant.
