Just started this bad new habit , looking for others with the vice.

I smoked a pipe for many years and enjoyed it.
Before that I smoked cigarettes.  I started at 16 and finally quit just before turning 50.
Sixteen years after quitting I developed bladder cancer.  Studies show that 2/3 of bladder cancer cases are smokers.
John, smoking is the single biggest mistake I ever made.  It cost me my bladder and prostate.  Please learn from my mistake!

I forgot to add the most recent development, c.o.p.d.  which has led to declining lung function.
