Quit Smoking!

Quote From: hockeymom4ever

I hope that Pam and everyone else smoking meets or experiences a cancer patient and or their care giver. I don't think that until they see the pure devastation of what smoking does will they realize how important it is to stop this harmful habit. Go to a cancer clinic and you will see the true reality (for most) of what is to come if you don't quit. It is a horrible and painful way to die. People say they would die for their family but would they LIVE for them???
Sometimes even seeing a loved one die from lung cancer isn't sufficient motivation for smokers to quit, and I just cannot understand that!  I'm a lifetime non-smoker who dealt with the death of someone very dear to me 15 months ago whose wife, adult children and other family members continue to smoke.  Because it hurts me and upsets me to see them potentially putting themselves (and me, from second-hand smoke) in the same situation, I've had to greatly restrict the time spent with them.  We all suffer from the lack of companionship, but I cannot bear to watch them kill themselves, and will not allow them to kill me!  So sad!

 Before I met her, my SIL Judy was a heavy smoker. Until, visiting someone in the hospital, she had to walk past a ward full of men dying from smoking-caused cancer. She dumped her last pack of cigarettes onto the parking lot and stomped them to pieces.
