Thanks to You!
John, it is you that I thank for caring so much about helping others. Please continue your crusade to end tobacco addiction.
A friend of mine was telling me that she met a woman in the waiting room of her heatlh center who was waiting for her son to finish his latest exam regarding his on-going tongue cancer battle. The doctor and her son soon came out together with the sad news that the cancer had spread into his jaw and that they needed to schedule for treatment. The woman started to cry and turned to my friend who held her next to her.
My friend asked her if the cancer was caused by smoking. The woman said that her son (who was in his 40's!) never smoked but that his father was a heavy chain smoker. She said the doctor told her that the cancer was from SECOND HAND SMOKE!!!
See my article in the Article section here at cybermacro on smoking. I too suffer from bladder cancer and my doctor said that it was caused from tobacco as well. It is strange that for some reason many macrobiotics still don't believe that tobacco causes cancer. Even stranger is that others object to having good information posted here that might help people quit the habit regardless if what for it was submitted.
Due to this controversy I have decided to relinguish my position as moderator of the health forum at cybermacro. If your post can help to save one life then it is worth it to me. Thank you again for re-submitting the information.
In peace, Roy
