[QUOTE="AngelFacet, post: 3292461, member: 135388"] It felt good. I know a lot of smokers. Step Dad, Uncle even my great grandma (she died in her late 90s a few years ago) and smoked over 20 a day since she was young. My Step Dad was also extremely physically fit and strong. He would out run, sprint lift than non smokers younger than him. Similar with my uncle. I heard about the health risks, but from everything I had seen the health risks seemed to be negligible.
