David:
I didn't mean to attack. I just feel that when someone's first posts in the "Introduce Yourself." I feel that the first response should not be about smoking. People at that stage are defensive if they were/are smokers, and I don't feel it the best initial response to their need for support.

Thanks for the lively discussion. I always love exchanging ideas with you folks. Sandy S.
