Once upon a time
there was a lovely
young woman.
She married early
and had to say goodbye
to her young husband
going off to war.
To calm her nerves,
she began smoking, a
habit she continued
throughout her life
until breast cancer
made her wonder about
this hab i t.
But no doctor said,
"Stop smoking," even
though 4 years later
lung cancer mutilated
her body.
The 1 engthy scar
begins below her right
shoulder at her back
and travels downward
around to her chest,
continuing halfway up
her chest.
I can still remember
the metallic staples
glinting in the light
of the hospital room.
Still, no doc tor
said the magic words,
until 5 years later
severe emphysema
c1 aimed her.
Today a mach i ne
helps her breathe, its
1ong plastic hose
running from clips in
her nostrils 25-30 feet
to the motor that
supp1 i es oxygen.
She would say to all
of us, "Stop smoking.
Don't ever start."
I think abou t this
person I love, my
mother-in-law, as I
notice what seems to be
an increase in the
number of women smok i ng
at WCC this quarter.
In the past women
have enjoyed longer
lives than men, but
that statistic will
soon change unless we
change our habits.
Ye s, we've c ome a
long way, Baby. But we
cut that progress short
if we can• t live to
en.ioy it, women.
