[Ipg-smz] Looking for opinions/experience

[Sharon Fisher]

I had one year where I lost my mother, my uncle, my aunt, and another uncle
to smoking related illnesses, plus my dad got diagnosed with lung cancer
and my father in law was diagnosed with congestive heart failure.  At this
point, I have just one relative in my parents' generation still alive, the
one who never smoked.

I've never smoked.
