My motivation came from watching my beautiful mother totally destroyed at the young age of 63, all from smoking... The cancer was so aggressive that she didn't stand a chance and lasted a short 3 months of torment, torturous pain, taking her from a beautiful, charming, professional, fun loving woman to a mass of tumors coming from all parts of her body. My only comment about her death has been that HITLER shouldn't have died this way. No one deserved it.

Thankfully, I smoked but was never addicted and had no problem quitting. The memories of her took many years to pass by where I could remember her as the beautiful woman again.

I'm sorry to be so blunt and maybe its TMI but I'm very passionate about this and would love to see everyone quit - although I do believe its your right if you want to, but don't do it around me.
