I have actually turned down a date with a girl because she smoked, I can't stand it, it's like snogging an ash tray
I lost my Dad to cancer when I was 17, my sister was only 16. He was diagnosed with bowel cancer in autumn 1997, the treatment didn't work and was stopped just after Christmas that year, the cancer was too far advanced. He was given 12-18 months but died in May 1998, he'd smoked since he was 12-13 but no one knows if it was that that caused it, the pesticides of the 60's and 70's when he was farming or just in the genes. His sister has since died of the same thing. It's certainly enough to put anyone off the habit seeing someone suffer like that
