"My mother was a heavy smoker back in the days, but she stopped when I began to get asthma as a ten-year old. Still, I believe it did her bad, ultimately, as she passed away at 67 of a brain tumor."

I am so sorry. Our mother's each passed at a young age.

My second oldest sister was originally diagnosed with brain aneurysms, and they did surgery to tie-off the inner carotid artery on the right side, which cut the blood flow to three of the aneurysms. They were going to keep an eye on the last one, which was situated in the back of her head by regularly CAT scans. She stopped smoking immediately once they gave her the diagnosis. Five years later they diagnosed her with the lung cancer, so I agree with you that the smoking had already affected her body. I read that despite some people stopping smoking, within certain age limits, they will develop lung cancer within that five year range. I never knew it at the time, so we were pretty shocked when she found out. Like any normal person, we figured hey! she stopped smoking...now she's free of the threat of cancer.

Both my sons were given the oral polio "vaccine" when they were younger...not in a sugar cube that I recall, but from an eyedrop syringe if I remember correctly. Neither had any side effects thankfully. My oldest son got the measles vaccine when they first came out, and a few years later got measles. We discovered that the original vaccine he got was deemed ineffective, at least that's what the pediatrician told us at the time.

Thank you for taking the time to chat with me. I look forward to hearing from you in the future. Take care of yourself in the meantime, and let me know how you are doing in the future.
