Cigarette Taxes: Do They Cut Down on Smoking?
Thanks so much Anne for sharing your personal story with us. Reading about the experiences others have had with drinking and smoking can really help open the eyes of someone having "that talk" with themselves about quitting. One more person recovered makes it a better place for us all.
Take Care and again thanks for sharing.
All the best, sue
