“Did You Smoke?”
December 8th, 2010
When Martha McCann Lesnick’s granddaughter was about 6 years old, she asked her grandmother about the yellow LiveStrong wristband she wore.
Lesnick explained that she wore it because she was fighting lung cancer. Her granddaughter replied: “oh yeah, that’s because…what did you do?”
“She was talking about smoking,” says Lesnick, a Nashville songwriter and four-year lung cancer survivor.

Thank you so much for picking up our story on the smoking stigma. I think our writer, editor Melissa Marino did a really nice job with it.
Happy New Year to all at the foundation and all your blog readers!
