Debbie's Smoking Struggles Dr. Travis Stork: Debbie struggles with this everyday let’s take a look at her story. Debbie: I've been smoking since I was 14. This year I reconnected with my best friend, she smokes too. We discovered and we spend a lot of time smoking and drinking coffee on her porch. Female: It’s like a ritual. That’s how we start our day everyday. I light up, she light’s up. She lights up, I light up. We’re like a couple of barbeques. We know how bad this is. Debbie: My dad smoke for many years and he did end up dying from lung cancer. It was terrible death and I don’t want that to happen to me.
