[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Somehow we all survived these many years of the 20th century with people smoking. I’m so glad my children have such strong constitutions I was happy to have them held by someone who infrequently has contact but smoked when she did. We all lived and thrived. God bless our strong genes I suppose. [/quote] Except those who didn't. I never met my maternal grandmother. She died of lung cancer when my mother was 9. I can't tell you the full extent of the lifelong lasting impacts my grandmother's death had on my mother, but with a father who financially and emotionally abandoned her for the new wife and baby, serious depression resulting in attempted suicide in high school, and dropping out of college because my grandfather wouldn't support her, let's stop there and just call them life-altering. People can quit if they're motivated enough. [/quote]
