  1. I still "bristle up" when I am asked that question but I really like what you said Katie about empowerment and it is a chance to educate people. I have said when asked that question, It is very naive to think that cigarette smoke is the only pollutant in our air, just look at the emissions from cars! You get closed up in a small area with a running vechicle and your are dead in a matter of hours and you think that isn't affecting our air? Then I follow up with the facts and underfunding. Before I was touched with LC I was ignorant about it too and quite shocked to see the underfunding and to realize it was because of the the stigma. What a shame our society is so judgemental! I do feel it is a very rude question to ask and I hadn't thought about it before but Laura, I think you hit the nail on the head--people feel safe if they are not smokers. Cathy

  12. Chapman Family, I am so sorry! I am praying for you all. Cathy
  13. Hi Las, I too am mostly a reader here and have found so much comfort. Every now and then a post comes that I must answer and this time it is yours. I know exactly how you feel. My husband watched his father die of lung cancer 15 years ago. He still did not quit. I too begged and pleaded. And I have to say he really did try to stop. The addiction was just to much for him to overcome. He started back in the early 60's, way before the dangers were know. I had some really angry moments after he was dignosed. I REGET THAT SO MUCH!!! I took precious time away from us with that anger. It does not solve the problem. It will not make the cancer go away if she stops now.It is to late for that. It helps calm her in what is the most terrible time of her life. I will keep you and your family in my prayers Las. Cathy
  14. Carole, I am so sorry. You and your family are in my prayers. Cathy
  15. Thanks guys, I appreciate your thoughfull answers. Cathy
