But you've hit the nail on the head right there - most people haven't been in that situation - including smokers.
I saw what it did to my oldest friend's mom. But it doesn't matter how much I tell people about it - they weren't there.
You can tell people how horrific war is...but unless you've been there...you have no idea.
