i have only smoked a couple years 30 years ago. Now when i smell smoke or come in contact with second hand smoke I become dizzy and can't breathe. But the worst is to feel like I have a smokers problem

Hi Dinkidoggy, its lovely to meet you :) and a big warm welcome to our lovely quit support community :) :)

I will be honest with you Dinki, I've never heard of this before :o ermm, may I ask if you suffer with your breathing at all :o cos am just wandering, if its a form of anxiety :o

Some people think they have got something wrong with them, but they havnt :) its all in their mind :o BUT, they worry about it and this makes it worse :o if you see what I mean :)

Dinki, if I was you, I would just go see your GP and ask them about it, I am positive you havnt got a smokers problem :) but just to be on the safe side eh :)

Please let us know how you get on, cos it just may help somebody else in this community :) :)

Take care now Dinki and I hope you get sorted out :) :)

Pete :)

hey monky, i joind the group to because i feel like smoking, even with the trouble it causes. so i just would like support to keep saying no. thank you. excerise helps to avoid a smoke. but winter is coming in the rockies so i need extra support. i have stepped back and have avoided any triggers. controlling stress, people who smoke and drinking hot tea. i hope to help others as well
