A few weeks ago, my husband downloaded a free app for the iTouch. It’s called 2009 facts, and with each shake of the iTouch, a new fact appears. One of the facts was that Non-Smokers live on average 6.5 years longer than a smoker.

Hubs said – see that isn’t too bad! (We are both smokers)

I said to hubs, Your dad is seventy.Would you rather him live ten more years or sixteen and a half? He agreed that 16.5 is the better option. (duh)

Taking into account the fact that hubs and I are both smokers, and that my mother died from lung cancer, hubs and I should *really* be doing some term life insurance comparisons.

It is a fact, plain and simple, that smoking is a dangerous activity. Its DAMN hard to quit, too, and it is irresponsible of us to not have any after death plans in effect for the children. Hubs has a plan through work, but it isn’t for a lot of money, and it isn’t good enough.

I try not to think about it, but maybe I need to buck up and do somehting about it!
