Interesting poll, Yvonne!
My whole family smoked! Dad, mum, three brothers and sister. I did from the age of 16 for a couple of years. Even though I grew up surrounded by smoke I hate it.
The smell makes me sick and affects my asthma. I’m not sure if it was related to smoking, but my dad and one of my brothers died from heart disease. Both quite young - my dad 41, my brother 32.
Unfortunately it appears that girls around 16/17 are still starting to smoke. Girls especially dancers and singers think that they need to smoke. They believe that if you smoke and drink lots of coke/coffee you will keep your weight down. Agents don’t employ overweight dancers and singers!
