Very saddening:

Leonard Nimoy Reveals He Has Lung Disease, Warns Against Smoking

It's too late for Leonard Nimoy, but he wants his fans to know that they should quit smoking now.

The 82-year-old actor, who's played the iconic role of Spock in "Star Trek" TV shows and movies since 1966, has revealed that he has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease from his days as a smoker.

Boo

I was never a heavy smoker but I did smoke on and off for about 12 years. Quit ~2 years ago.

My mom smoked for a long time and then stopped for a long time after my grandmother died some 20 years ago due to complications from smoking. Now my mom has picked it up again in the last few years

On a regular basis I recognize how much I would absolutely f^%&in' love to have just one puff ... and then I go on to be angry about something else.

I'm glad I never picked up the habit despite growing up around smokers. So hard for people to quit. I've seen relatives struggle for years with quitting.

Same here. Most of my family smoked when I was a kid and I never had any interest in it. Tried it, hated it, and that was the end of it for me.

The two of you just gave up too easily. If you want to develop bad habits, you should work harder at doing so, and then, you, too, can have plenty of things to regret having done.

There are few things I regret. Not smoking isn't one of them

Makes me wish your dad had caught me with a bunch of weed, beer, coke and a hooker.
We could have made a weekend out of it.

My four older brothers had to sit down with Dad and talk about the whole smoking deal and then proceed to eat a pack each of camel brand, needless to say it wasn't long before they were all green in the face. I never smoked so I was spared the punishment. Oh and the final outcome , they all smoked from then on , two have finally quit recently.
I commend CVS for this and hope others follow suit, but then where will they sell all the weed when thats finally legal lol.
