Now I hate the smell of tobacco smoke and am glad the clubs and bars I play in around California are all non smoking.

But you gotta understand why a lot of smokers including myself years ago started despite it being so bad for us. Simple .... !!!! we didn't know it at the time. When I started smoking in the early 60s the link to cancer wasn't known about by the general public and advertising we were watching on TV encouraged us all to smoke and made it appear desirable to do so. It is no wonder so many teenagers back then became willing nicotine addicts. It wasn't until much later after we had all got well and truly hooked were we told it really gonna kill us in the end.
