Best of luck here. I have two wishes for you!

1) You remain cigarette free!
2) You remain cancer free!

This is going to be a downer. My own father gave up cigarettes after my mom passed from complications of lung cancer (cigarettes). However, he developed lung cancer 9 years later. The damage was too great. He passed a little over 20 years ago.

Please, this is from the bottom of my heart. I am grateful you are stopping. It's the best decision for your life.
