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

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

There's nothing glamorous about being dead.

When women smoke, it is hard for them to quit because they are so worried about their weight; it's a vanity issue and a mindset.

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

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