I'm posting it to get it of my chest and in the hopes that it might help someone decide to quit smoking. I do not want to start a "war" about whether smoking is morally bad or anything like that. I don't want your sympathy or your anger-I just want to share something with my friends and tiki associates: My friend Bill K. a incredible artist and friend, passed away a from minutes ago from cancer. He was "lucky" in the fact that he didn't suffer-much. Please do want you can to quit smoking. Keep trying-try different things if one method doesn't work for you. Keep trying so you can succeed. Sorry for this unusually serious post from me. Take CARE of yourselves-I mean it. Your Friend, Bruce Woodbury

It's very thoughtful of you to give words of encouragement to quit smoking during your time of sorrow. Let's hope at least one person will take that step. Both of my parents smoked and they quit and are still living healthy lives in their 60's.

I hope he had a good run .As the years pile on and "it" comes closer, please remember that "it" does not come ONLY when you get old.Things like smoking are like daring cancer to f-ck with you among other things.This is why I try and say something nice to all the folks around me with a smile and dig on every day that I rise from bed.Spread your love around, IT'S FREE!!!. peace .
