I have a lot of respects for nurses. Nurses are hardworking, kind, caring and are genuinely wonderful people who have a pretty tough job. They give a lot of themselves to their patients. It's a tough job to look after others and look after yourself. THANK YOU to the nurses in the crowd!

Even with smoking, there's definitely a genetic component. My husband's aunt smoked for over 85 yrs., but had no lung issues. She just died of old age (105!).

I’ve been a nurse for 17 years. Binge drinking for the last 8. Thank you for making me feel less alone and for giving me hope. Praying for anyone right now who can’t see a way out 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Addiction makes me feel sad for people. People try their best and that's all they can do. When I see addicts in our city, I just feel sad for them and hope for the best, although it's likely to end in a bad way.
