"My daughter is still smoking..." Hold on thar! Is this Amy, the daughter recently diagnosed with MS? If so, why in the world would she risk compounding her health problems?

And if not, then this daughter has seen through her sister's example that one can't take good health for granted, so why tempt fate?

In either case – as you say, Annamill, why take the blasted chance???

(BTW, I see by the news reports that NY wasted no time at all in jacking up its cigarette tax after NJ's action! PA's tax is up too, by 69¢.)
