    I have two aunties, an uncle, and two best friends who died of lung cancer, but it is sad to say that when I mentioned about this a couple of weeks ago on several facebook groups, several people abused me by calling me a fool who thinks he knows all.  They said that they are now 60 years old and enjoy fulll health, though they are chain smokers.  I am very happy with this video.  I will share it far and wide!  Keep up the good work.
