When I was in high school in the 1930s, I told my father that I wanted to take up smoking. He said, “That’s alright with me. But why would anyone want to put anything but fresh air into his lungs when life is so short as it is?”

    These are all great tips and I totally agree about smoking. I’m on a bus commuting to work right now wearing a face mask and already wanting fresh air. Haha. I don’t understand people who fill their lungs with toxins.
