    Hi Alli.  I have always wondered if I was predestined to smoke because of a genetic connection with my mom and dad. I can remember when I was a little girl, along with my brother, hiding my mom's cigarettes on her because we hated it so much.

     

    Of course both my brother and I succumbed to the smoking cycle.  I quit 5 years ago, my brother still smokes.  Mom and Dad quit too, though it took my mom many, many years to finally quit.

     

    All the best, sue (moderator)
