This is a real good question that Kathy Jo brought up, are some people more
acceptable for developing lung cancer than others are?  For example, my
Grandpa smoked for over 60 years, and never really had any major health
problems according to my knowledge.  

Thanks,

That's right, She used to go in to smoky bars to perform , etc..  I attend 
Dayservice (thru Cornerstone) every week (usually on Thursdays) (yes I am 
STILL going there) (yes, I might follow -up with an e-mail post sometime 
about that) with a female (there is more than one female client that attends

Dayservice at Cornerstone ).  This particular client has tried everything to

stop smoking.  My grandpa (who died in 1990) used to to smoke and I thought 
I would get cancer from him.
