Yes, I regret smoking every single cigarette. I took it up coldly and deliberately because I'd heard it could help you lose weight. I did quit everytime I was pregnant but I did smoke while my children were young and I regret that, it was stupid to think they wouldn't be affected.
I will have to disagree with your argument. my mom smoked and still does. my dad quit about 5 years ago. me and my sister neither smoke. in our case, the smoking was so obnoxious we didnt want anything to do with it after we got away from it. my sister made her husband stop smoking before they got married. we just hated it so much.

I don't know, my oldest daughter smokes but she's 34 and while she did see me smoking she basically started smoking because everyone in her peer group was smoking. My next two younger bio children also saw me smoking but have never even tried the stuff. They're both adults now and can't stand the smell of smoke or smokers.

I'm doing that for one of my FAVORIST aunt....
1. What age were you when you started smoking?
about 12-13 years old when she quit school (she said school was boring....now wished she never done that)
2. What age are you now?
52 years old
3. How has smoking effected you medically?
allergies, shortness of breath, HPB
4. How many cigarettes/packs do you smoke a day, on average?
2 to 3 packs a DAY
5. Have you ever tried to quit?
yes, tried patches and gum, unsuccessful, not the same craving as the REAL thing
6. What brand do you smoke?
anything and anything on sale and genetric brands
7. How has it effected people around you?
smoking stinks, makes skin so dry and cracked, aged so much older than my age (in fact, my mother, who is already 65 years old, looks so much younger than her, people mistaken aunt for being an older sister than my mom being the oldest.)
8. Do you regret smoking? If not, BE HONEST.
YES! It is a nasty stinking habit that cost alot of money. Cost her and hubby over $1,000 a MONTH for cigs. Both of them smoke the same amount of packs of cigs a day. Her daughter, started very young in smoking in high school, was a heavy smoker until her untimely death of the age of 23 years old, left behind a two month old son, was planning on getting married that weekend. UGH!
She has not been diagnosed with cancer or any related illness. Both of her parents (my grandparents) were very heavy smokers, smoked when they were very very young, around eight to ten years of age, ONLY smoked Camels and it was "COOL" to smoke back in the 30's and 40's where you can find all kinds of ads of famous smokers such as Clark Gable, Dean Martin, majority of singers promoting smoking. Both of them died from emphysema (sp), lung cancer and assorted cancers ravasting the body. My great aunt is going thru the same thing (the sis of my Grandma), and right now, her days are numbered, lung cancer/emphysema. They all believed that smoking does not cause cancer. I remember my Grandma said that Grandpa has lung cancer because of breathing in bat feces where there ARE no bats nearby nor residing in their attic at any house they have lived in. Denials didn't help them at all, each one of them faced a very painful, long demise, waiting for death to come to them when they want to go QUICKLY. They complained often of "breathing water".
My parents do not smoke, neither my sis and I. My hubby does not either but his parents were ex smokers, he broke their habit by breaking their cigs and it cost too much money to keep buying so they quit.
