just got word about froglady... RIP i will meet her on the other side for sure,...im at a loss for words it happened so fast...but thankfully she didnt have to sit around and suffer...AND she had 5 years free...like me she was a long time smoker...
there is one truth all us oldtimers hold onto...
we thought we would never quit....we watched alot of our friends and family pass on,...and we know what we have done by smoking all those years it is a miracle we are not gone already....
this addiction is the pits..
we have alot of people to blame...but mostly ourselves..because nobody twisted our arms or did they?...
.big tobacco companies used to add the highly addictive nicotine in concentrated amounts purposely to boost sales... i remember this...the government made them stop because there were too many deaths caused by people smokng in their sleep...they would burn their house down...
there were salesmen who would pass out free samples to the public...i know i got into that line and got 3 or 4 free samples at a time.. and i was only 15 or 16...
there were cigarette machines at the local gas station that took one quarter and one dime to operate..no age restriction there either
we got smoke breaks at school...high school...in the parking lot the teacher used to smoke one with us...
i could go on...
i am so glad she got to have 5 free years... im going on 3 years ... and she helped me along ..so many here have helped me along...
