I don't know what happened to Lesser Lafayette, but no shade.

Porch Live, Fort Worth, Texas.

Welcome.

So good to be with you all. So a couple weeks ago I shared that I'm a recovered alcoholic and when I drank I smoked like that went hand in hand show of hands if you love smoking. Just kidding. We'll get there. But I saw, you're like, yeah, actually. Me too. Like, whenever I drank, I smoked, it was like, it was something I loved and so I would like I guess it probably started like in the

8th grade if you've never smoked and you're like, why is he hitting them?

You don't know.

But you're about to.

Yeah, in the eighth grade, like,

started smoking and then, you know, we'd go out in Austin and just after a few drinks like smoking just sounded nice

Stressful day at work smoking sounded nice. It was like it's just a thing that I enjoyed and you know I'm not

looking to create a stumbling block for anybody but there was there was like some

satisfaction to it. It's like I knew that it would give me a little bit of relaxation and

rest to like decompress some. You get to be outside. It was like, even though I knew, I mean

Surgeon General warning, I mean itgeon General warning.

I mean it's right there.

What does this one say?

Quitting smoking now greatly reduces serious risks to your health.

You know, I knew that it caused cancer.
