10-15-05 . . . I tried to get me ex wife to stop smoking when I
stopped over 30 years ago. After two years of constant fighting she
stopped smoking for about 3 years and then took it up again. I gave
up trying to convince her of how bad it was for her health. She now
has terminal lung cancer and this has brought on a whole host of
other physical problems. What little life she has left is full of
pain and without enjoyment. the pity is that this all could have
been avoided and she had the support system in place to continue not
smoking. The secondary effects on me when I was at home were
obvious, but she made the decision to resume smoking and leaving her
smoke and ashes throughout the house as her way of "telling me off."
Well, 12 years ago I left her and have insisted on a smoke free
environment in my office, home and car. Keep up the good work!

08-15-05 . . . I had a good look at your orientation and training
course and it looks great. It's detailed and explains you program in
a clear and concise manner. Congratulations on all the work you have
done to put it together! regards, Blair Price BA, Psychology.

08-15-05 . . . I just wanted to say that I have a picture of Peter
Jennings on my bulletin board at work to remind me not to smoke. It
has been 2 days now and it is so hard but I know that posthumously,
he has helped many people decide to quit. I also had an Uncle who
died from Lung Cancer 3 years ago and I have another Uncle who is
near death right now from the same disease. Love and prayers to
Peter's family and friends and love and prayers to all of you out
there that have decided to quit. Shelly - Singer Island, FL |

7-21-05 . . . I congratulate whoever wrote this press release. It is
quite powerful and it has a direct call to action. But what I find
most gripping are the collection of facts that would arm anyone
working with a loved one to empower them to quit smoking. The facts
would help them to understand that their smoking is a threat to
everyone around them not just to themselves. This is a press release
that deserves wide distribution. I would be happy to see if I can
put it up in my local public library. -- Thank you. Larry D.

7-12-05 . . . the wife of our neighbor just won't quit smoking...and
he asked me to see if I could find info online on how to get her to
do so. Way back in 1968, I saw a TV show about smoking being bad, so
I quit...at once although I'd smoked for years by stopping
everything I did when I was smoking. Then I was able to smell and it
sealed it for me when I was admiring a woman walking toward me.
Until I smelled the smoke on her! That did it. My thought is when I
hear something is bad for me, I just give it up! Few people I know
think this way, but that's me. -- Ann Marchiony |

Margaret Mead*
* Margaret Mead was
a distinguished anthropologist, an intellectual and a scientist. She
is the author of numerous books on primitive societies and she also
wrote about many contemporary issues. Some of the areas in which she
was prominent were education, ecology, the women's movement, the
bomb, and student uprisings. She was a woman who blended knowledge
and action. Time, in fact, named her "Mother of the World" in 1969.
In the political realm she served as a diplomat, without a
portfolio, to many presidents in the areas of ecology and nutrition.
She also had a great deal of concern about the role of science and
technology in world politics. |

5-5-05 . . . "My friend's sister lost her husband to inoperable
liver cancer earlier this year. Then, when going in for a routine
check up, she was diagnosed with lung cancer! They were both heavy
smokers. She was told she couldn't smoke two weeks before being
operated on and not at all after the operation so she would have
better blood circulation and a quicker recovery. She has
successfully quit smoking, is recovering nicely from her surgery,
and on the road to a speedy recovery. We are so happy that she quit
smoking so she will be around with us longer than if she hadn't". --

3-3-05 . . . I have to share with you the fact that the more
research I do and the more I read about smoking and its devastating
impact, the more committed I become to your cause (and I was onboard
to begin with!). --
Very sincerely yours, Mindy |
