True

TPBM thinks that most of the time the first encounter with a film or book is the version that you like most.

[Eywadude]

True! I used to smoke in my early to mid teens, and I quit after about 2 1/2 years of it. I used to wake up all phlegmy and coughing and it scared me. I got to thinking what I was going to be like when I was 50, so I stopped. Now I despise cigarette smoke. Yuck!
