You know something -- and this really bothers me. Because I dont think of myself as a harping ex-smoker. I let people know that I quit and how very proud of myself I am that I did. I found myself saying to someone the other night that they should quit. I was confronted with a rather angry comeback of Why would you say something like that? Seriously, why? At the time I was taken aback and said, Because if I can, anyone can! Well that got me thinking, why do I say that to people? In this instance, I considered that person a friend and someone I care about. Apart from the obvious health benefits, I know that she has young children and that they would want her to stay healthy so that they can have her in their lives for as long as possible. I lost my Dad to complications from surgery on one of his lungs. He was only 76. That was over 4 years ago. If he had quit 10-20 years before he did, he might be alive today. He would be 80. In my line of work, 80 is not OLD! I would like to have had more time with my Dad.
