Awww, stop picking on newsbot!

I smoked 2+ packs a day for, um, 12 years old to 46 years old. Except during 8 weeks in boot camp when they wouldn't let me smoke but 5 or 6 a day...

I quit when I had the open heart surgery in 2004. That was real easy. But I started back up a couple years later - less than a pack a day.

I quit again 3/16/2008. Had major surgery to repair aneurisyms 3/17/08...

I guess I'm a classic example of why smoking might be bad for you. Forget the MS and all.
