...I am a former tobacco smoker of 40+ years and while I am glad I have not had anything YET, and yes I have been smoke-free for the last 10 years, I also know I am sitting on a time bomb. My parents smoked, many family members smoke, and all my life I have inhaled smoke in many different ways. i also know of and loved folks who never smoked a whiff, and yet they contracted lung cancer.

The only reason I share this with you is that I want you to know you are not alone ~ even for schmucks like me who were exposed to this, even willingly, in so many ways.
