Very true - you have to want to stop.
A heart attack will stop her - even being unable to walk any distance without severe leg pain might - ask my brother about his 55 years of smoking and the arterial blockages he has.

I met a doctor on holiday years ago - he quoted the case of a woman in her early 30's who had a leg amputated - he told her he could save the other leg if she gave up smoking - she didn't and she lost her other leg.
