not directed only to you jmo but to any and all smokers who don't want to hear it....

it isn't just a nasty habit it is a deadly one. Don't believe me? Go visit my father's grave then.

I wish everyone luck with this dreadful habit. It is your choice. Do you really think my father chose to die instead of see us grow? Make the choice to quit sooner please!!!!

I usually keep this diatribe to myself as smokers are notoriously unwilling to hear this message. I'll probably trot this out again in June around father's day. Guess that is the legacy cigarettes left me.
