Your lungs are changed forever from your first cigarette.

Almost every person over 45, and definitely those who have ever smoked, should have a spirometry test.

My dad had emphysema and both of my parents had chronic bronchitis and ended up with cancers - all smoking related.

They almost ran me off the road several times. There are so many chances that they take to get the right photo.

Once you are hooked, smoking is harder to quit then heroin.

I have an education degree from the University of Minnesota, and I was a teacher for about a minute.

My memory of my mom is a wine glass in one hand and a cigarette in the other. She was a runway fashion model, and she was quite a glamorous woman.
