Why would someone who obviously wants to be a survivor as much as you do smoke cigarettes?

Because I'm an addict.
In all seriousness, I started smoking during a SEVERELY self-destructive, suicidal streak, when I was much younger. Over the past few years I've tried to quit a few times, but simply haven't been able to. Something about having a grandmother die of skin cancer, an aunt die of lung cancer, a sister who had a double mascectomy due to breast cancer, an aunt dying of cervical cancer, an uncle getting prostate cancer, a cousin getting cancer in his lip, and my mother developing emphysema, just makes me think that I really need to get off the stuff.
Just waiting for my insurance deductible to roll over at the beginning of the year, then it's off to the doctor for some Buproprion.
