I’ve written 14 movies.My characters smoke in many of them, and they look cool and glamorous(有魅力的) doing it.Smoking was an integral(必需的) part of many of my screenplays because I was a heavy smoker.It was part of a bad-boy image I’d cultivated for a long time— smoking, drinking, partying, rock ’n’ roll.
Smoking, I once believed, was every person’s right.The second-hand smoke was non-existent problem invented by professional do-gooders.I put all these views into my plays.
Remembering all this, I find it hard to forgive myself.I have been an accomplice (帮凶) to the murders of untold numbers of human beings.I am admitting this only because I have made a deal with God.Spare me, I said, and I will try to stop others from committing the same crimes I did.
Eighteen months ago I was diagnosed with throat cancer, the result of a lifetime of smoking.I am alive but disabled.Much of my larynx (喉) is gone.I have some difficulty speaking; others have some difficulty understanding me.
I haven’t smoked or drunk for 18 months now, though I still take it day by day and pray for help.I believe in prayer and exercise.I have walked five miles a day for a year, without missing even one day.Quitting smoking and drinking has taught me the hardest lesson I’ve ever learned about my own weakness; it has also given me the greatest affection and empathy(同感) for those still addicted.
