Tobacco has been described as more addictive than heroin or crack. Many of us tried without success to quit. For many, even a lung cancer diagnosis is not enough to help beat the addiction.
Lung cancer patients who’ve been unable to quit need a place they can go to discuss symptoms and treatment without fear of being blamed, shamed and stigmatized for their cancer. For that reason, I’ve started a new Facebook page just for lung cancer patients who continue to use tobacco. If this describes you, please join me.
( You won’t get that here either It’s good to have an alternative)
Good morning! I run r/lungcancer and r/lungcancersupport on reddit. This looks like a great resource to add for my members. Problem is that I do not have facebook activated at this time. Could you tell me the exact name of the group (either here or message me here or email: siberia@gmail.com or on reddit as @walkinghorse). Thanks so much! This sounds like a great resource for many of my fellow lung cancer survivors.
Thank you Denzie! I will add it to our sidebar in both reddits this afternoon. Fortunately not a group I need but I did have a heck of a time quitting over a decade ago. The no stigma and shaming is so important.
