Okay. I am not sure I agree with Ms Morrissey but she is more knowledgeable in those areas than I am. I knew an individual - he has since passed away, Lord have mercy on him - who gave up cigarettes after he woke with a coughing fit. It was a harsh lesson and I am sure it impacted on his longevity. People who started smoking in the 1950s or 1960s were not aware of the dangers. A certain brand of cigarettes was advertised as the brand your doctor would recommend or something like that. That was the advertising at the time. One could understand that people started to smoke then. Nowadays, however, everybody knows the dangers. I do not know the solution. I do not think it will be easy. Perhaps Dr. Campbell knows the solution.
