I mentioned to her that since I was inhaling the air that she filled with smoke, it was like I, too, was smoking, as far as the harmful effects of the cigarette went. She thought that was nonsense. By the time serious publicity about second-hand smoke had surfaced, years later, two things had occurred: 1. My Mom had quit smoking, and 2. I had taken up the habit. She often mentioned how prophetic my earlier statements were... and how foolish I was for becoming a smoker myself.The Silver Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730805376957629641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188724087075739853.post-59761223796542879922010-06-06T22:58:44.609-04:002010-06-06T22:58:44.609-04:00I didn't need to smoke inhaled enough second h...I didn't need to smoke inhaled enough second hand for a life-time<br /><br />breathe deepmoondustwriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09848554806751678968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188724087075739853.post-6137059870384758692010-06-06T17:13:01.237-04:002010-06-06T17:13:01.237-04:00Hey, All!
