Smoking has been glamorized and heavily promoted ever since I can remember.
As a child seeing models in magazines and on television advertising a particular brand of cigarettes encouraging people to spend money.
Actors and actresses sporting cigarette smoking as being cool and hip in their movies encouraging children and young teens to pick up the habit of social influence (following the crowd).
I always had a mind of my own, and a strong one at that.
No one could persuade me or manipulate me into doing anything that I would not ordinarily do.
Everybody within my household smoked cigarettes, yet I never did.
I never had any desire to smoke anything.
