And just think I won't smell like smoke
Was funny today a person came in my house to buy one of my birds and he smelt really bad from cigarette smoke .
That was me only 9 days ago.

[judydawn]

Now you're talking like an ex-smoker Mandi 

[Amy :-)]

To be honest Mandi, I'm surprised your birds loved you as much as they did while you were a smoker. Most animals I've had don't like smokers

I'm looking forward to meeting you in Adelaide

I knew a chain smoker  who's dog died of lung cancer.

And just think I won't smell like smoke
Was funny today a person came in my house to buy one of my birds and he smelt really bad from cigarette smoke .
That was me only 9 days ago.

A friend of mine always used to shower and wash her hair before she came to visit me . She was paranoid about how she smelt but she used to smoke In her car so there was no point  because she always smelt  of stale cigarettes. When  she stopped smoking she got rid of the car, got her yellowed teeth whitened and she never smelt of stale smoke again. Then she started nagging her DH to quit because she could then smell how bad  he stank. She refused to sleep with him until he quit.

Yesterday I was at the shopping centre and smelt someone behind me. When i turned to see who, I saw a women, the perfect specimen of emphysema, struggling and wheezing,  stopping to draw breath, pushing her walker and stinking of cigarette smoke. She was grey with watery faded eyes and I stopped to let her pass. I gave her a big smile as I knew she was not long on this earth.  She stopped to get her breath again and gave me a smile back. I felt really quite sad. Not a nice way to die.

Gretchen your anti-smoking messages beat those that are printed on the packets - as gross as they are, they are only pictures. You tell the story of real people and real problems.
