He occasionally mentions it, but really he’s been smoking for 50 years at this point so it’d be very hard and take a big effort on his part. When he had a heart attack a couple of years ago and had a stent put in, he was in hospital 8 days. Then would’ve been a golden opportunity to give up but he didn’t. I gave up years ago after smoking for 20 years, so I know it takes a particular mindset and dedication to achieve. I’ve started to really doubt that the will is there.
