my husband, he continued to smoke and I smoked for 36 years.)
TODAY, ABOUT 30-PERCENT OF HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR GIRLS SMOKE.
THEY'RE SMOKING FOR WEIGHT CONTROL AND BECAUSE OF THE TOBACCO
INDUSTRY'S AGGRESSIVE ADVERTISING.
(COOPER STANDUP: The recent rise in smoking rates, especially among
young women is very dissapointing to organizations like the American
Lung association who spearhead anti-smoking campaigns)
(SOT THOLKES: To realize they're being duped...they are a target that
the tobacco industry is really working to keep them hooked on a
product that will ultimately kill them when used as intended.)
EARLY DETECTION IS THE KEY.
AN ANNUAL LUNG SCREENING IS RECOMMENDED FOR SMOKERS OVER 40.
SURVIVAL RATES FOR LUNG CANCER ARE LOW.
THE DISEASE IS FATAL FOR 86-PERCENT OF IT'S VICTIMS WITHIN FIVE
YEARS OF A DIAGNOSIS.
(SOT THOLKES: There's a much higher survival rate for breast cancer
than there is with lung cancer and so there's a wonderful base of
survivors that can speak about the disease. Unfortunately for lung
cancer, they don't have that survival rate.)
JUDY ATTRIBUTES HER TWO YEAR SURVIVAL TO GOOD MEDICAL CARE, A
POSITIVE ATTITUDE AND MOSTLY, HER SUPPORTIVE DAUGHTER.

anybody that did anything. She was the angel sitting there on my
