Doctor Finally Puts Her Foot Down...Almost

[mosesbotbol]

Are you personally feeling the negative effect from smoking? Was there clinical data to suggest you are in need of quitting or drastic cut back?

No real negative effects other when I was under my Studebaker one day on my back doing a little work....smelled a little something strange burning and it turned out to be my beard. Nothing really changed other than I'm pushing 65 and have been smoking cigars for the past 47 years. Doc's always worry as well as my wife so I feel the compromise we agreed on was a fair one. With a home based cigar room it was more than just one cigar in the morning, you know their are afternoon and evenings too.

All is still good, still can smoke a bit and my attitude has always been I lucked out while being in the army by making it back home so all of the extra years I have racked up has been like frosting on a cake.
