In that I once came to the point of surrendering all hope of ever breaking free and promising myself that I'd never ever again put myself through another attempt to quit, this story somehow became very important to me. To have visited a time in my life where it didn't matter if I was told that I would soon die from smoking as - at three packs a day - I'd accepted my fate already, this woman's courage in quitting after she knew that the end was near is utterly amazing and tremendously inspiring! She is one of my heros and always will be!
