Had to drudge up this thread this morning... like I mentioned a few pages back, I work nearly full time to do Utah's anti-tobacco ad campaign. I think about this stuff like 30 hours a week, when I'm not surfing the web or just goofing off.

Anyways, my aunt has smoked since she was 16. She passed away yesterday at the age of 64. Not sure how that correlates to this thread beyond the obvious, but it definitely has changed the way I look at smoking. It was always one of those things where I could rattle off stats about how many people die a day from smoking (1200 in America alone) but still... that info is just different now that I knew one of the 1200 yesterday. She was an amazingly cool woman. I'll never, ever be able to smell a Camel without thinking of her fondly.

For those of you who have quit, or are still tapering off - huge kudos. You can do it.
