    Daddy smoked since he was 8. Daddy died of COPD diabetes cancer colon. He was still smoking on oxygen. Daddy was 6'1. When daddy died he shrank to 5'3!!! I'm his daughter and I'm 5'6. U can't even imagine looking down at your dad. He was 65 pounds. He was 73. Don't smoke. I never have. Never will. I miss my dad😭😭😭😭😭😭

    I thought since she is so beautiful, she must be an actress. No, she is not and her story is heart rending. I quit nine years ago, and I guess I need to be reminded why I quit. And for that I have to thank her. My cousin has stage four lung cancer, and it's just a matter of time.

      I encourage you to advocate to change laws in your local community. Unfortunately, there are federal laws protecting the tobacco industry though they still have to abide by certain rules that vary by state. Look into a local coalition, the community's voice is the driving force to change.

    Smoking is a prohibition cause if I were you I would not continue smoking for ahead of times I agree with you Amanda I have my aunt that lives here she smokes ahead of times but she's trying to quit I have hopes for you Amanda with that being said you are a bravery person I'm sorry about your child causes of all this but sometimes people learn from there mistakes but now that you know your changed woman I'm glad you stop smoking smoking is not worth it it's a waste of money for everything that messed up everyone lives for

      That's one of the lesser known effects of smoking; it can cause gangrene, which can require amputations.

      Smokers: ''Ahh i don't need to quit, it is not like i am getting sick or anything'' *gets diagnosed with cancer or another form of illness due to smoking* Smoker: ''well the damage has been done now, why should i quit? I am sick already anyways.''

      Frank Bracken Yeah but it doesn't help smoking. I have allergies and eye prob due to mama smoking. She stopped when pregnant with me at five months. But the damage is done. I have these prob all my life. No smoke give your child a fighting chance. I never have. All my kids heath are great.

      She quit; that's why it's called "Tips from former smokers," not "Tips from current smokers."
