I recently quit smoking after having smoked for 22 years. I really want both my brother and husband to quit so that they will not suffer the way several family members did until finally dying. I personally watched my grandmother and father-in-law die of lung cancer. Neither of them went quickly either. My grandmother took about eight years and my father-in-law about six years. It was years of watching their therapy that really broke my heart. But despite all this, I hated when the non-smokers in my family gave me any grief about smoking. One day I woke up and was finally ready to quit. I hope my brother and husband will do the same. However we are all getting up there in age and that possibility is getting more bleak. I don't want to preach to them, but I also can't stand the thought of watching another loved one die in such a manner. Someone please help...I'm so torn.
