By what authority about smoking do I speak...?

Since I am not a doctor, I am often asked by what 
authority do I speak on issues of tobacco and the 
nicotine addiction. I hear "so what- so you wrote 
a book- why do you think you know more than others?" 
I don't. I can only say that I detailed my experiences 
with the habit...and buried six family members from 
smoking related diseases. Perhaps it is just that I might 
be the first to battle the addiction for forty years, beat 
it and live to tell about it in a book...I would just as 
soon have had six less reasons to tell this story.
