Great comments.. Let’s just make everyone that wants to quit smoking realize there is no hope anyways. You are probably right anyway seeing as my uncle just bled out and died from ling cancer this morning. Regards. Soon to be dead king cancer patient

It’s been almost two years for me. I started smoking when I was 15 and averaged a pack a day for about 8 or 9 years. I still have cigarette cravings. This is an addiction that will never go away. I can tell my lungs are severely damaged, I assume that since I started at such a young age that my lungs were still in some what of a developmental phase. I can feel that there is something that just isn’t right in there and I often cough up mucus. My grandfather was a smoker for over 50 years and he fell victim to lung cancer about 6 mos into his retirement and about 3 mos after quitting cold turkey. Edwin Jones worked his entire life in hopes to retire and travel the states with his beautiful wife. All of these dreams were quickly erased, all of their savings went to the treatment of the disease, which was far more painful than just letting go. I slowly watched as my Grandfather deteriorated due to the disease and the treatment for it. A man that spent his days working 8 hour shifts only to come home and put 2-3 more hours into working around the farm and doing lawn work. By the end of his treatment my Grandfather could only manage to do two things. Cleaning the dishes and vacuuming for my Grandmother while she went to church and prayed for him. (Normally these chores required 2-3 breaks a piece) before finishing the task, but it was simply all he could do.

So now my Grandmother sits, and waits to die. The love of her life, the man that provided for her and her children was taken just so suddenly. I rarely see moments of joy in her daily life, even when something happens that makes her smile, she immediately becomes upset because her husband isn’t here to share this moment of levity with her.

So now I wonder, have I sentenced my Fiance, my daughter, and my unborn son to a life without a husband, a father?? Could anyone in their right mind give up any of this for a cigarette?? How much does smoking really mean to you? More than seeing your children grow up, or taking your Grandchildren on a camping trip some day.

What does smoking really mean to you?? Really?

Yes, I agree, a bit preachy. I quit 3 weeks ago and reading this makes me feel like, “well! Since I’m 37, I’ve already ruined my lungs, why quit?”
Positive reinforcement is better!

Hi Ash,

Good for you! Once you look into the real damage being done not just while you smoke – but the continual damage it is doing even after you quit … it is amazing to even consider smoking anymore right?
