Smoking - Habit of a Lifetime for Some Unfortunately!

[Guest guest]

My Eldest cousin who is just two years older than me (I am 55 years

of age)has smoked unfortunately for many years, has just recently

been diagnosed with throat cancer. I have been told that he will

probably have a " voice box " fitted. This is sad news indeed to hear.

 

I myself as a child lived in a house where both parents smoked. As a

teenager I was given a cigarette to try by a friend, which I did, but

thought to myself thankfully, what do people see in this. I never

took up the habit, neither did my sister. My brother (who is 9 years

younger than me)unfortunately did and has smoked for years.

 

My father died of lung cancer, which was an awful experience for us

as a family to witness, and so terribly sad for my father.

 

I see so many young people smoking - what lies ahead for them I

wonder!

 

My son and his wife do not fortunately smoke, and my two

grandchildren just dislike the smell of smoke so much - thank

goodness.

 

Anyway, we are all obviously concerned with regard to my cousin's

welfare. Time alone will tell.
