I've always been very involved in anything that had to do with lung disease or cancer.

If somebody invented cigarettes today, the government would not legalize them.

My sister and I are both diagnosed with second-hand smoke syndromes. We have never smoked, but we grew up with second-hand smoke our entire lives.

Look at any black-and-white movie; everybody is smoking.

I am the odd man out in the family.

If you want to be alive and live in a real world, if you want to have any emotions at all in your life, you must willingly, knowingly, repeatedly set yourself up for things possibly not ending up 'happily ever after.

I've been working with the National Lung Health Education Program to raise awareness about Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
