Dear stupid people smoking inside the bus shelter:

51. Both my grandfathers smoked.

One smoked regular cigarettes (non-filter) since he was 11, and the other smoked a pipe and was very particular about his tobacco, he wanted natural stuff that was like what he used to grow himself and he could only get 'his' tobacco in the States (we're in Canada) so my grandmother would smuggle it in her bra. I don't know why she had to smuggle it - I was a kid at the time - but she was never searched, as they lived 5 minutes from the border and did all their shopping in the US so the border guard knew them and who wants to search a little old lady?...anyway....

When I'd stay at my pipe-smoking grandfather's house, I never noticed anything. I'd play cards with him all the time with smoke all around us the entire time. When my cigarette smoking grandfather stayed with us, I'd get sick right away with a cold, or sinus infection. I'd wake up every morning with a sore throat and my eyes were always swollen shut when I woke up. There was a huge difference.

Both lived long lives too. The cigarette smoking grandfather lived to be 97 and the pipe-smoking grandfather lived to be 102. I'm not sure if the pipe meant the extra 5 years though, lol.
