Th...Not my comment but a post last year on a blog. This lady's words have haunted me since:<br /><br />When I started smoking aged 14 (yes I was at work then in the 50's) it was not considered anti social or a filthy habit. Smoking was a sign that you had 'grown up' and was a 'rite of passage' for most teenagers.<br />I have only ever smoked where an ashtray had been placed, as that has always signified that smoking was acceptable.<br />As the years have gone by I have smoked in less places, either because there were no ashtrays (signifying a non smoking establishment) or because smoking was banned in a certain place.<br />I have accepted all of that and never smoked where I was not welcomed to do so.<br />I am now in my mid 70's and can now only smoke either at home or in the open air.<br />I am now disabled (accident damaging my hip) and so can not get out as much as I would like to. So now I only smoke in my own home. This is a very lonely existence and I would love to be able to go to a pub for a drink occasionally. However, as a smoker I know that I can't do this and enjoy a drink and cigarette in safety and comfort in a pub.<br />I accept all this and am sorry that my pleasure upsets so many people. I wish that my life was different, but after smoking for over 60 years it is difficult to stop.<br />It really hurts me to hear that smokers are now classed as disgusting filthy death carriers as I really hadn't considered myself to be thus.<br />Now that I am all these horrible things I am glad that I am nearing the end of my life.<br />How cruel and malicious are these people that have ostracised me and cast me out from society.<br />I am so sorry if my 'habit' has offended people and wish that I had never taken that first cigarette all those years ago.<br /><br />Posted by: Jane Daniel | December 31, 2010 at 01:24 PMThe witch from Essexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14433164106840403244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206739907723081582.post-45932240886573659602011-02-04T19:01:10.876+00:002011-02-04T19:01:10.876+00:00Yep, its affected me big time.
