Metchosin, that was an interesting point.

I love campfires and BarBeQues, and have come home in the past smelling of both. But I don't sit in the path of the smoke if I can help it, because any smoke feels bad in my lungs.

But there is a difference in the smoke, and Little Hawk mentioned some of it. I think there are chemicals in the cigarettes that increase the danger. I'm sorry I don't know a lot about it but I do know that as I get older, my body seems to be more and more sensitive to things like this.

I guess it's hard to understand why someone smokes if you don't. Maybe if you'd explain more about how you started and why you continue it would help me understand.
