Ill admit I use to smoke. Of course no way my parents knew. I had a lot of friends who were 18 and when they went to go get their chew or smokes they would just pick me up a pack (of course a little flirting was involved) But I would leave for school early saying I had to go finish up some homework or I was going to pick someone up or something and would instead drive a back road for about 5 mins, smoke, then head to school. same afterwards. This was until one day I drove past my track coach and he saw, I had A LOT of conditioning for a very long time. But thats when I started sticking the lighter and one or two cigs down my sports bra and would go run and once I was out on the back roads, stop, light up, smoke, then run back. I had quit about a month before my accident due to starting to get a death cough. Parents still dont know. Such a bad kid ;)

I'm a complete quitter in every sense of the word.
I Stopped about ten years ago as well and replaced it with Tic-Tacs, lot's and lot's of Tic-Tacs. Should'a bought stocks in 'em.
I met this gruff old para in hospital, getting his 7th flap surgery due to his lack taking better care of himself (he told me he used to drink and smoke a lot). He was a very strong, totally independent man in his 60's, who explained to me that he became a double leg amputee so his lower leg muscles could cosmetically replace his old and ulcer ridden gluteus-maximus.

Anyway, for all you smokers with pressure sore problems, don't cut your legs off just yet!
