I knew early on as a kid that I wanted to be a smoker. Both my parents smoked cigs, and my grandpa on one side and great grandpa on the other side smoked pipes.
In 7th grade on a fishing charter boat our overweight native guide we had, chain smoked these tiny white cigarettes. It was in canada. Players? Anyhoo he smoked those so fast and often, he made it look great And they looked delicious to me. I knew after that trip, that that was what I wanted to do.
No alcohol for me, just tobacco. And lots of it.
I'm 31.
