I was told by 3 different doctors that my throat cancer was caused by 47 years of smoking. No question about it. I have been without a voice for 7 months; was it worth it? Ridiculous! Fact, since Maine put the money we got from the tobacco settlement to work, teen smoking has been reduced by 37%

There is a session on Friday evenings in Portsmouth NH, but, I never go. Why? because too many of the people who do go are addicted to nicotine, ans I refuse to go where the air is unfit to breathe. And, to you folks who still defend your right to die a horrible death, remember, DENIAL IS NOT JUST A RIVER IN AFRICA.
