- Lora,
-
- I already e-mailed my best horror stories to you, but I forgot one thing.
-
- See if you can take a tour of the cancer wing of your local hospital.
- Actually see and hear for yourself how horrible it is to die of lung cancer.
-
- I'm not sure how easy this is to do, but try to get a look at a pair of lungs
- out of a deceased smoker (try the biology department at your school).
- I hear that it's really gross, and I guess it's helped *many* people quit
- smoking.
-
- By the way, welcome to the non-smoker's world. I think you'll find that
- you're more welcome in almost all social situations.
-
- Laura

- laura@tasvax.nswses.navy.mil I speak only for myself.
