[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 9718, member: 1722"] Katmom, My father lived on his own and smoked everyday (except when hospitalized) for over sixty years. Almost three packs a day for most of them. What finally helped him quit was watching a nurse drain almost a quart of nasty brown liquid from his left lung, through a tube and into a glass jar. He had been "drained" years before but had been encouraged to look away during the procedure. This time, the nurse told him she wanted to see the result of his smoking. He spent 9 months in a nursing home being rehabilitated, then 9 months more in assisted living before dying in May 2005. He died having never smoked another cigarette. Please quit. [/QUOTE]
