I'm another one who smoked for 40 years without ever making a serious attempt to quit. Was up to 2 to 2 1/2 packs a day until 4/27/2006; the day my ENT at Emory Univ. Hospital here in Atlanta told me that the tests showed I had base of tongue cancer. Now, 11 months later, I have not touched any form of tobacco since leaving the Doc's office that day. It took 40 years for me to find the needed incentive to quit!
