Congrats to those who have quit, and best of luck to those who want to. I've never smoked, so I guess I don't know how hard it must be. What I do know is that I lost a friend today who is one of the best men I have ever known. He was a member of the generation that came up in the late 50's and early 60's....and more of those folks smoked than didn't. Earl died of COPD around 2 pm today. Smoking isn't a character flaw, it's just a bad habit, and Earl was living proof of that. I'll miss him. Please quit if you can, cause somebody will miss you like I will miss my ol buddy Earl.
