What can you learn when you join True Nudists? Well, I learned I was a teetotaler. I had no idea what that meant, and despite my usually great interest in new words, I never bothered looking that one up. It turns out it means one who abstains totally from alcohol. And the group on this site would include non-smokers as well.
So, I'm a teetotaler!
In my case, when I was in Grade 2, my mother agreed to let me taste a VERY SMALL QUANTITY of wine, just to know how it tasted. I HATED IT! And I've avoided it ever since.
As for smoking, I was more or less brought up with black and white TV and I remember the Health Canada ads of the day. My favourite was a cartoon in which a man had set up dynamite and unrolled the wick at a fair distance. He then lit it and put out the match. He put in some ear plugs and took cover.
At some point he decided he needed a smoke, so he put a cigarette in his mouth and searched for his box of matches. He suddenly realised he had use his last match on the dynamite. BUT HE NEEDED A SMOKE! So he starts running on all fours, catches up to the quickly disappearing wick and tries to light the cigarette which is still in his mouth. Unfortunately, he runs right into the dynamite which explodes at that point, leaving nothing but a huge hole in the ground.
The moral of the story: Some people will do ANYTHING for a cigarette!
