I never smoked nor did my brother,who is 18 months older. But my parents
sure did. I think they smoked 2 packs a day,they never coughed,by
brother and I chronic anything to do with second hand smoke. I still can't
stand the smell of second hand smoke.

Bob who smoked,i think he said when he was a senior in high school when
he started,1/2 pack a day. He stopped 38 years ago,he's 78 now. His
Pulmornary Dr. is married to my Neuro. Bob does have a pstch of
emphasema and uses a puffer. The Dr. said it was good he quit be some
almost always shows up when you get older. But he said he probably
would of been on oxygen or died if he didn't. As i said never smoked but
was always sick with colds,broconchitis,ect. My brother and his wife
never smoked like my husband and me. But his children both do. And
guess who smoked,my child who had Thyroid Cancer. When he found out
he was going to be a dad in the fall,he gave his wife a video cam. We
watched him quit,his first gift for his child. My son gained a little weigh
but he lost that fast when he starded at the gym and has the breath
to run,umm walk first. And i can hug him now without choking.

The diabectic center here just got a ton of money from old man Walton's
( walmart) child who lives here. To do research on Children and diabectes
2. If a child who if born in the year2000 they are likly to have diabectes 2
by the time they are 15 especially boys.
