Quitting Smoking

SFX: Searing Cigarette Burning
Ronaldo: “I got throat cancer at 39 from smoking. That’s how I lost my voice and why I have a permanent tracheotomy. Every twelve weeks I have to see the otolaryngologist to make sure the cancer hasn’t come back. I will have to do this for the rest of my life.”

SFX: Cigarrillo encendido consumiéndose
Ronaldo: “A los 39 años me dio cáncer en la garganta por fumar. Por eso perdí la voz y tengo una traqueostomía permanente. Cada 12 semanas tengo que ver al otolaringólogo para asegurar que no haya vuelto el cáncer. Voy a tener que hacer esto por el resto de mi vida.”
