I've got a better example. As a 15 year old, for some reason I thought it would be a good idea if I took up smoking. I continued to smoke for about 7 years and then decided to quit. Besides health and fitness reasons, I also wanted more money and resented paying the ridiculous prices. So I decided to do something with the money and I took up Ballroom Dancing (I had been doing other types of dancing for most of my life). At the ballroom Studio, I met the love of my life (8 years ago) and we have since taken over the studio ourselves and are living happily ever after.

All thanks to taking up smoking.
