In the 17 years I have been a smoker I feel like I have came full circle, from hiding from my parents when I was a kid to not get yelled at. To now when I feel like I have to hide to still be a smoker, or not have highly opinionated people tell me how bad it is (like I don't own a tv or know how to read). I watched my first job go from a smoking break room to the smokers had to sit in their car to even smoke on the property. It really makes me sad sometimes to still be a smoker.
