Re: Brides that Smoke??

I came from a family of smokers. I never smoked but my pop stopped cold turkey. My mom it took so long for her to stop and it wasn't until she went to a doctor and told her to stop. I used to beg her not to when I was a kid. I used to think she was going to die. But if you do stop for the day here are some cool facts...
