Hello everybody,

Congrats Matthew and welcome to the club. Good that you have no regrets. You’ll get a tremendous amount of pleasure from smoking in the years ahead.

Welcome, Matthew.

So Thanksgiving Day was the occasion in which you were with your cousins and tried smoking for the first time. Just out of curiosity, how was it that your parents didn't notice?

We spend most of the time before dinner in the basement busy with the Xbox.

I see. When I was growing up, I also spent Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter with the extended family (on my mother's side). I was the youngest of my generation--my sister is six years older, and the cousin closest to my age nine years older--so there was nobody else my age, and I was expected to just sit there and be quiet through a multi-course dinner that lasted all day long. And there was no Xbox or anything else remotely like it back then either. It was horridly boring!
