a couple years ago when I started vaping (and knew diddly squat) I sold nearly a carton of cancer sticks to Leon. A few months after that I saw he was sporting an Ego/CE5 just like me !! I was so happy. It didn't last long tho and he was back on the stinkies :( About a month ago he was rushed to ER for inability to get air to his lungs. Shortly thereafter he was transferred to MD Anderson Cancer Treatment Center. Today they removed his lung. They hope cancer was contained to just that lung. We've been pals for close to 30 years.
Nor saying he could have avoided cancer by quitting years ago. Heck I'm just as likely to get it as he did. Wish Ecigs had been around (and as readily available) 40+ years ago.

Sorry for depressing post. I needed to vent.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend SG, I hope his recovery goes well and they caught it in time. Will be praying for you both.

I was chatting about it with another co-worker pal the other day. He was telling me about how various members in his family have either died or suffered from cancer. The whole time he's smoking !!! I said to him, if cancer runs in your family aren't you concerned for yourself especially when it comes to smoking. He said "Ya gotta die of something". To this I say:
It's not dying of cancer I fear, it's living with the suffering of cancer !!
