Thanks, Tobacco: You Killed My Mom

The video above is one of the many reasons why I'm starting this blog. I recently quit smoking three weeks ago and would like to share facts and information with others about smoking who are struggling to quit or have quit and are trying to stay smoke free!

I have a lot of information on how I quit and what has worked for others. I will be posting to this blog regularly and am in the process of building an anti-smoking website geared towards teens and young adults who struggle with their addiction to tobacco.

With that said here is an excerpt of a story that broke my heart and made me realize just how much smoking can destroy not only your own life but those around you who you love.


The Video Above is Produced by: Aaron Shawn Gray and in his words...
"We have omitted certain things that one might find offensive, including her IV, vomiting, bodily functions, and her actual death itself, which was obviously painful. Instead, we have brought many different segments together, which still conveys our overall message: DON'T SMOKE!"

In a letter dated September 24, 2006, from Mom:
"Try not to worry about my health. I go for a CAT-SCAN on October 4th. I should have the results about a week later. The appointments are taking a long time, so I must not be in such dire shape, or they would rush them. I'm glad you never really had the desire to smoke. What do your lungs look like after all of those years of second-hand smoke? I can't wait to see you and Patti more often. Gotta go for now. Love Forever, Mom"
