Just found a NEW REASON to STOP SMOKING!

Well, it may not be new, but it is new to me. I have just had my right eye lens replaced. Cataracts are sneaky little things that, I learned, are part of the natural aging process, but their growth is accelerated by SMOKING... I gaurantee that you will not know how your vision is being stolen by the 'Nico-demon' until it is too late to repair with anything short of risking total blindness with a lens replacement. Yes, yes, I know that technology has improved the odds of losing total sight to a fraction of what it was... but when it is your eye that is about to be sliced open, that fraction is meaningless.

Thank you for that bit of information. More ammo to pass on to the people in my life who refuse to quit.

Bypass, Yikes! Just the thought of the procedure gives me the willies! You just added reason #64,532 not to smoke! I hope you are doing really well and have a speedy recovery.

Bypass, Thank you for sharing! This is a great reason to quit :) Whatever the reason, know that it will only make you healthier and make you shine! Keep Strong, Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.
