It always makes me wonder why such intelligent people such as Gord can't see what smoking does to you until late in life. Quitting now does nothing. The die is cast. His ability to clot and heal was compromised buy somoking during his illness in 2002. At 73, if one day he gets a chest xray and there's a spot on his lung..well, it's too late. The English, Canadians, and Australians are way behind the US in people quitting smoking and one wonders why that is. I hope and pray that Gord can abstain from smoking for the rest of his life, but it sounds like he quit cold turkey, the hardest way to do so. But I wish him well. Too bad it wasn't 30 years ago.
