[Ian Robinson]

Tried one puff once when I was about 14 and absolutely hated it and decided straight away that only idiots smoke.
I let my mates know that in no uncertain terms and lost some firiends who "liked" smoking .... can't have been very good mates afterall so no loss.

I still hold this view , I am 51 now .

I refuse to allow anyone to smoke in my wife's or my presence and do get very cranky and outspoken about people who insist on smoking near me , and am not shy about demanding they put their cancer stick out or bugger off , even when fishing.

My father-in-law smokes and I refuse to let him inside my home or to light up on my premises - no loss - I've never liked him and the feeling is mutual.

All my sisters smoked and , all but one of them have since given this ugly , filfy and toxic hablit up , the same rule applies to my smoking sister (she accepts that and goes down the backyard when she visits to have her fix. Her husband is a different story - wont take the hint and so I have to tell him to go outside if he looks like he wants to light up .
