Why do women live longer than men? They develop strength and immunities from putting up with us, and that's from a very happily married man for 53 years to the love of my life.
As a very young woman, I smoked. I gave up because it was costly and I knew it wasn't good for my health. Your son will most likely reach those conclusions, too, when he's independent, has to pay his own bills and take responsibility for his own health. I know my essay makes it seem that all men are irresponsible, but that's not true. Most are, according to the science, but not all. He may well come to realise that he's literally blowing money up in smoke, and damaging his health at the same time.

Congratulations on your long and happy marriage!
Thank you Patricia.
This was a very interesting podcast.
As the mother of a young man I find it almost impossible to help him make healthy decisions.
I am think young men are more likely to model their behaviour on older men, whom they respect, rather than listen to their mothers.
There are many really good decisions he’s made. It’s the smoking and the vaping I worry about.
