My father started smoking when he was six


My father died of lung cancer in Ohio five years ago.

  He smoked about three to four packs a day and started by smoking corn silk and coffee grounds (when he was six).  I'm sure that the secondhand smoke from him that I experienced until I went to college (and every other time I saw him) is in my system.  He didn't even go to my son's wedding in Hawaii because he couldn't go that long on a plane without a smoke.
