Melodean; I am a non-smoker, but I can tell you that giving up smoking was the best gift my mother ever gave us as a family. Although she died because she had emphasima (SP?) and that limited her to about 4% capcity in one lung and 10% in the other for a total of 14 out of 200, she did not smoke for the last fifteen years of her life. Please think about your family at the end of the big picture. It was the most stressful and depressing situation I have ever had to endure. Best wishes. Other care about you and are thinking of you.
