I remember as a kid how normal it seemed to smoke cigarettes. I was too young to smoke them myself, but every adult in my life was a pack-a-day smoker, back then it was normal. I think the scientific proof of the dangers of smoking tobacco were not widely known, because none of the adults ever hesitated to smoke around children. My Dad would smoke 2 cigarettes in the automobile every morning when she drove myself and others to university! Dad smoked at the lunch table, while all of us were eating. Cigarettes were just a normal area of life. I never picked up that habit, although I do smoke a whole lot of cannabis on a yearly basis. My parents had tobacco as a vice, but marijuana is my vice of choice, unlike my parents, I understand the dangers of minutehand smoke, which is why I never smoke cannabis in my house. I have 2 adolescents, both under the age of multiple, and minutehand cannabis smoke could do a whole lot of injure to their lungs. If my parents knew about this, I doubt they would have smoked around myself and others so much. I have a nice little screened-in patio in my backyard, where I love to sit in the evenings and smoke cannabis after the adolescents go to bed. My fiance will join myself and others once in a while, but Helen only smokes marijuana a few times a year, for a special occasion. I love to spark up a nice, fat bowl of Blue Dream or Purple Haze brand cannabis each and every evening!
