This morning I had to go back to the hospital. I've been having a lot of pain and cramping for the last few days and this morning said enough is enough - we have to go to make sure everything is okay.

I don't know any smokers that constantly had a cigarette in their hand. Then in January, I saw a piece about it on the BBC News. I watched with interest thinking they were going to say that they have found it to be harmful. What they said was quite the o
