November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. My father is currently recuperating from having his right lung removed due to Squamous-Cell Carcinoma, aka the Smoker's Lung Cancer.

Given I'm no saint, but I am wanting to spread awareness about Lung Cancer (not smoking, per say). It can happen to anyone so please take care of yourselves and your bodies.

I appreciate this post. My mum within the last 3-5 years went through chemo and radiation. She smoked Marlboro for decades.

They say that smoking and nicotine addiction are worse than any other drug.

Well......there is caffeine....that may be a close neck-and-neck with Nicotine.

Wish they would and will listen to you PO1 (Join to see) But I don't hold out much expectation anyone will. (Almost 10a I need to go on smoke break).

I'm not saying to "quit smoking. it's bad for you". They know the risks and they will take them. What I am saying is take care of yourselves.
