Hi, My name is Annmarie and I live in Rhode Island. THIS is my first post here. My mom died 38 years ago TODAY from Lung Cancer. I miss her terribly and feel deprived that she never got to see me mature into an intelligent, accomplished and compassionate woman. I have missed having her with me for all the important events in my life. That was 1968. With all that is known in 2006, why do people still smoke? I myself, have to suffer with the consequences of her smoking. To this day I have asthma and respiratory problems and a chronic cough. My prayers are with anyone who is afflicted with lung cancer. Blessings on the journey, Annmarie
