Sorry, Cyder drinker---but if you are so resentful of the "health police" why mention the fact of your smoking and follow up by not only issuing a challenge, but giving it italic emphasis? So, in case any young person reading the postings here should get the message [NOT I may say, that you deliberately intend it that way,]"If cider drinker can get away with it, so can I..."---I will inform them of what CAN happen.I still sing, play accordion and bodhran; but not nearly with the ease of past years. You see, I stopped smoking thirty years ago---twenty years after I should have. Not willing to put my lack of "puff" down to age, I had a check up. Thanks to my own habit, and my regular doses of the downstream stuff in my favourite haunts, I was diagnosed as having an emphysema-"quite a big one" in the words of the examining Doc. To his question re. my smoking habits, I told him I had stopped a long time back. "That", he said, "is why you are still around." That's my story, and it's gospel. Now you could well be lucky, and get away with it---but it is as well to be aware that you are gambling! Constable Boab.
