No Smoking

[whittington]

I have cronic COPD, I used to smoke until I spent 3 months in hospital when I was diagnosed. The staff were great they offerd patches etc whilst i was an in patient, and told me could have lots of help with staying off ciggies when I go home. I am not a martyr but I refused patches and just STOPPED. I have days when I want a fag, dont get me wrong, but I have a little mantra I say to myself when I want to smoke .... "I wont to live MORE than I wont to smoke" . Its been 5 years now and the number of times I need to say my mantra is almost never now. Good luck with stopping the FAGS

My hubby is the same, sometimes I feel suffocation from his constant protection, but I guess he means well ... if only he would give up the fags, he has to go outside to smoke though

I was told I had angina about 2 years ago so I had one rollup and gave up and never smoked since. I had cravings for about 3 months then didn't get them anymore, thank goodness.

Well done. I'm so glad I gave up when I did although it was only after I stopped that I developed breathing problems and was diagnosed with moderate COPD. I rarely think of them now.

The same as me. A couple of months after giving up I started to have breathing problems and then diagnosed with COPD.
