We continue hearing of the " Jennings Effect." That is, the effect Peters life, illness, and death is having on others to either quit smoking; not start smoking; or go to doctor for lung cancer checkup.
Latest example I know of is right here.
Retired deputy sheriff Thomas Timmons had already quit for a year when his wife heard Peter Jennings speak on TV for the last time. She recognized her husbands raspy voice when she listened to Peter. That motivated them both to have doctor check Thomas' lungs for cancer. Leading to discovery of third stage cancer. And treatments.
Thomas is now recovering from lung cancer (one of the few) and they give all the credit to Peter Jennings and how open he was about everything the last time he spoke on ABC.
