Phyllis Schlafly
- Phyllis Schlafly: Did I ever tell you the story about how I quit smoking?
- John Schlafly: I didn't even know you smoked.
- Phyllis Schlafly: Oh, yes, I was a pack a day, and your father hated the habit. He thought it wasn't, uh, ladylike.
- [chuckles]
- Phyllis Schlafly: Well, he was right. And, uh, he gave me a car as a wedding present and, of course, I didn't have a gift for him, so... I decided to give up smoking. And the day of our wedding I smoked my last cigarette. Now, was it hard to quit cold turkey? Very. And do I have to force myself to resist the seduction of cigarettes? Every single day. But the mind is stronger than the body. You just have to exercise willpower.
