Women: Barbara (50 year) - Nationality: Caucausian - September 12, 2000 "I began smoking at age 15 because all my peers smoked and that was the fad to follow. I have been a smoker for 35 years and to be honest with myself and everyone I love smoking. However, recently I was diagnosed with breast cancer, which is not related to my smoking. Nonetheless, if I continue to smoke, my cancer will metasize to my lungs and I think my life is more important than cigarettes. I would advise young people never to begin smoking. It is a bad habit, expensive never to say the least and more important lethal to your health. I hope that I can free myself from cigarette smoke and begin some sort of healing process in my body.
