I was around second hand smoke as a child. Both of my parents smoked and my dad seemed to always to be smoking. I didn't think nothing much of it as I was around ever since I could remember as a kid. I've heard second hand smoke is worse than the person whos smoking. I don't know if thats true though. I didn't ever think my dad would stop smoking because of how much he did but he quit cold turkey. What was even more suprising he quit before my mom did who was not as bad as a smoker. I'm not worried about my lungs as this has been years ago and if I had lung problems than its already healed up.

Everybody smoked when i was a kid.
I've been smoking for 24 years and now 5 month ago i just quit.
My boyfriend still smokes, but it doesn't bother me.
I never really think about the second hand smoke, i'm just happy i quit.

I wasnt...both my parental units were smokers but they quit before they adopted me or maybe it was just shortly after..either way, there was no smoking (or drinking for that matter) in our house when I was growing up..Oddly enough all three of us kids drink and smoke..
