I had an interesting conversation with a customer today about cigarettes, and smoking. She came in looking for a cutout of a "turkey" to use at an information booth for "The Great American Smokeout" campaign, offering information and resources available to those who have a desire to quit. Not a teen, or young gal, but younger than me - the woman had beautiful skin, and no "roadmap" lines in her face. Out of curiosity, I asked her if she'd ever been a smoker; her reply was what I anticiated, "No." She then wanted to know if I was a smoker, or not. My reply, "Yes, tobacco addiction had been a vice in my life." I am free of them now, but it was after many years of a "see saw" effort - falling back, and quitting, and falling back - any of you who are smokers, or ex-smokers are familiar with that routine. Because she was curious enough to want to know, I had to share "my" story ... she thanked me, and now has another success story she can share with others.
