Joel,
NEVER, EVER would I look at pictures of diseased lungs while I was smoking. As an active addict, that was the last thing I wanted to do. Call it denial, call it stupidity, call it any name you wish....NO person wants to see these pictures while he or she is smoking. Many times I write Freedom's addy on a prescription pad and give it to a customer but before they take it, 9 out of 10 tell me that they do not want to see pictures.
I can now look at those pictures objectively and wonder to myself how I could ever have done that to my lungs and arteries. It is pure suicide. Now I cannot get enough of looking at them for it is a constant reminder to me why I never want to take another puff. Well those pictures, your smiling face and like Mitch said when he went on his vacation..... your words.
