To all of us who are fighting this worthless killer. May this new year be the year that you stamp out this garbage from your life. May you all realize that cigaretts will kill you. May you all have the strength and the courage to fight your quit to the end. May you all keep your God in your heart and at your side, for you will need all the help you can get! Happy new year!
