"The Most Militant Opponents"

The most militant anti-smoker I knew back in those years, besides my
mother, was the old city editor at The Clarion-Ledger, Charles Smith.
He, too, was a former smoker and told me that one day I would quit. He
also told me that former smokers, such as he is and I now am, are the
most militant opponents to the nasty habit.

He was right, as he often was on so many things. City editors are that
way, in spite of themselves. I think the militancy of those of us who
have quit smoking has to do with how intimately familiar we are with
some of the ill effects of smoking that aren't mentioned as often as
cancer, such as an intermittent cough, susceptibility to bronchitis
and other respiratory ills and just a general not quite feeling as
good as we think we would feel.
