It's amazing to me that young people will still pick up a cigarette.

My dad had emphysema and both of my parents had chronic bronchitis and ended up with cancers - all smoking related.

I have an education degree from the University of Minnesota, and I was a teacher for about a minute.

I've been working with the National Lung Health Education Program to raise awareness about Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

If somebody invented cigarettes today, the government would not legalize them.
