who are you, also? You don't get it? It is not asking, per se, but a warning and advice by medical doctors and specialist who knows the danger of smoking for HEALTH reasons. ACtually, they will not say smoking only to be stopped but a lot of factors based on their diagnosis of a person's disease. But this thread is about SMOKING, so if you want to discuss cars and a/c and other things, make another thread and we will discuss it civilly and not "defensively"! ANd BTW, we are not preaching!
