Yeh, I'm living proof, that you don't have to smoke yourself to suffer from the effects of smoking. I never smoked in my life! Nine years ago I had a real bad scare. I was told that I had a nodule on my lung. All the doctors said---how long did you smoke? how much did you smoke?

Diamantina Flores a smoke free state? that would be a dream come true!
Betty Saenz I want to enjoy fresh air.
Marti Howell I lived in Louisiana until 2 yrs ago before moving to Texas and I think if Louisiana can become smoke-free, Texas can as well. I worked with the Louisiana Tobacco Control Program and the key was getting the cities on board first, the trickle-up effect.
