Smoking!

Uncle Martin was telling me yesterday how he started smoking . He's 81 and remembers the day he started. He, my Dad (Hudson) and Bryan Connor a family friend with a ranch south of Uvalde were setting on a windmill. My dad and Bryan were smoking Bull Derom(sp?) rolled cigeretts while dove hunting. Uncle Martin the older of the 3 said he'd like one of those. "He got sick as a mule." But that didn't stop him. After approximatly 42yrs he smoked. The last year he was up to 3 packs per day, then in 1965 he put them in his desk drawer and never picked them up. By asking the questions:"I wonder how long I can go without picking up a pack of cigerettes?". Its been 39yrs since he's picked up a pack.
The military he said put a pack in his ration FREE! So they encourged the habbit.
