sandintoes, Maybe. Maybe not. I grew up with the graphic scare films of the day and listened well. I grew up with such icons as Bette Davis and Cary Grant; both died advanced in years and after full and wonderful lives. When I was coming of age, smoking was almost a right of passage. Now it's quite the opposite. Things change. Some of us are slower to make quick changes. I'm working on it, though, in my own time frame.

BTW, in my immediate family, only my grandfathers smoked and they died in their 80s and were mentally sharp as tacks at the times of their deaths. - Holly

Very funny both of you.

If either of you young ladies ever wants to quit smoking I have some insights that might help you understand why it is so difficult. I can help you develop strategies to deal with the situations that elicit smoking responses.
