Dogman, where in the world did anyone in this thread condone smoking after treatment? I know I don't smoke and I don't believe anyone else on the thread does either. What I said to you is why are you angry at anyone but yourself? Don't worry about other smokers, it's their choice just as it was YOUR choice when you were smoking. If you want to be angry with YOURSELF fine, but it makes no sense to strike out at or judge other people that smoke. So you're "you smokers won't listen" lecture was way off base and out of line.
