After I stopped playing hockey, I started to smoke. I was more of a social smoker - I smoked a ton when I drank which was quite frequently. I smoked a half a pack a day for about 10 years until I quit when I got married in 1993. I don't miss it a bit and never really think about it despite my BP tendencies. Instead of smoking to relieve the stress, I'd simply destroy my garage, punch my refrigerator, or throw my garbage cans on the roof.
