I used to smoke and had a unique way of quitting. I was ten years old and used to buy cigs and smoke about a pack a day... big shot George. I actually quit smoking after my mother caught my brother smoking when I was was 10 and a half.

I don't see where I said everyone who suffers from hypothryroid is fat. What I did say was that I had spoken to a lot of overweight women who had had the same experience with doctors that I have had. We are dismissed as lazy and stupid and not worthy of the 'medical god's' help.
I see the point about some older smokers getting hooked when they were younger. I feel for those folks... my mom is one and I've seen her try to quit many times, she goes through out and out withdrawal, shakes, sweating, nausia, headaches, etc. She has yet to be successful.
