I agree Mark. I've spent my time behind bars and never once met someone who was there for a "smoking while driving" charge. Not once have I heard of someone killed by a smoking driver. Yes, I'm a smoker. For me it's about the lesser of 2 evils. There is a very good chance that my smoking will kill me, but it will NEVER leave me with the consequences that getting drunk did. I would never rob or steal for smoke money. For me, it's about placing things in perspective, and finding some balance. I guess smoking is one of those character defects that I hang on too. I must remember that it's about progress, not perfection, and if smoking happens to be the end of me, at least I will be able to look at my wife and kids through sober eyes.
I gotta tell myself, "keep it simple Brian"
