It is a funny habit. Seems some are drawn to it. Some beloved relatives. Two Aunts visited for my mom’s birthday. One was an out in the open smoker. The older one said shh, I’m a closet smoker. Don’t tell your mom.

It's easy to get caught up in it! I was for 20 years! The nicotine grabs hold of you and won't let go! Certainly not as popular today though thank goodness! XOX
