When I was a kid both my parents smoked, and I don't remember it bothering me too much. I smoked for about a year in college, and now (even though he smokes much less) I can barely stand to visit my father because of his smoking. Maybe it's because ex-smokers thought SERIOUSLY about what smoking was doing to them, and what second-hand smoke STILL does. Bob Giansiracusa Penn State Univ -- soon to be at St. Joseph's Univ
