My Dad read the Surgeon General's report in 1965 saying that smoking caused cancer, came home and watched the same report on TV. Right then he quit cold turkey, wife and her sister continued to smoke and it killed both of them. Both my wife's parents died of smoking related causes, father of emphsyma and mother of lung cancer. Neither of us smoke, one of my chores was to empty the trash, contents of the ashtrays were always on top. Just the stink of cigarette ashes swirling around my face was enough that I never took up the habit.
