[Ipg-smz] Looking for opinions/experience

[Christine Hall]

Three times I quit smoking for more than a year, yet here I am, smoking 
a little under a pack a day at age 68.

I started smoking at age 12, which was pretty common in the early 60s 
here on tobacco road where I grew up.

My mother smoked until the day she died, a couple of months back at 87. 
The last couple of years she could barely breath, was hooked up to 
oxygen most of the time, but puffing away every time she could get her 
hands on a cigarette.
