TOWN TALK
consider the consequences of the
unhealthy habit before it's too late.
Fbr me, advice from my doctors was
not taken, until it was too late. You
would be doing yourself a big favor if
you take the necessary precautions to
insure yourself, and those around you,
healthy lungs for an active life for
many years Io come.
This is not a finger-pointing col
umn, but a word of encouragement
not to make the same mistakes that I
did. The price is outrageous finan-
cially, as well as placing limitations
on us fa a normal, healthy life Hove
to fish and be outdoors, but due to
having smoked for many years, my
outdoor activities are limited. I guess
you might say that after having to
tum down a fishing trip Tuesday, the
consequences are fresh on my mind
and triggered acohnnn of this nature.
