@peggy: Sorry to hear peggy, thanks for taking the time to explain it to me, means alot to me. To be honest I first started smoking at 14, now im 16, and im hooked. it all started because I had friends that smoke, so at that time when they would smoke, I would smoke with them, when we were chilling. I wasnt addicted then, but now I am and I buy cigarettes almost every week, and I could be spending that money on other things like my site. I will quit. Thanks for sharing your experience.She has every right to cry because you smoke. Listen to me...
I started smoking when I was old enough to know better... in my early 20's. In January 1994, when I was about 33 or 34 I think, I developed the flu, then pneumonia. That got me sent for xrays which showed a 'shadow' on my left lung. That got me sent for an MRI the first week of February, which showed a mass about the size of a grape. The doctor said it had to be removed, but I had to stop smoking first. It took me until late March and the help of a stop smoking aid (Cigarest, I think), to be able to stop. By that time I could barely breath. Oh the pneumonia was long gone. The tumor was squeezing my lungs. BOTH of them. A new MRI showed that it had grown substantially, had grown under my sternum, and was attached to the right lung. I was suffocating - literally.
On April 4, 1994, I underwent surgery to remove this tumor. Between the time of the latest mri and the surgery, the tumor had doubled in size. They had to remove my sternum, 4 ribs, and my left collar bone to get it all out. I died once on the operating table, and obviously was brought back. When the surgeon went out to the waiting room to tell my then-hubby, grandma, and mom that I was going to live, my hubby asked to see the tumor. He told me it was the size of a small watermelon. My grandma and mom agreed with him.
All from smoking. Quit now, while you're still young. The longer you smoke, the harder it is to quit. Even knowing that my life was on the line, it still toook me almost 3 months to quit.
Do it now.![]()
My young friend, I could give you dozens of health reasons to quit, but is there any better reason that to stop your mother from crying? Take it from someone a little older. A time will come when they aren't around anymore and every tear you ever caused her to shed and and could have prevented but didn't didn't will be like a weight on your shoulders for the rest of your life.Wow 18, thats 3 years less than in america.

I would spare you both those pains.
It's actually worse...tobacco in general is a virus of a plant. I know this because I too at one point in my life thought I was superman and that nothing could hurt me.HA! That is far from the harsh reality though.And don't substitute smoking with chewing tobacco. It's as bad.
Started at 17, trying to quit this year, (quit for 3 years once before) so 17 years of smoking against me. Currently not smoking and have been smoke free for about 6 1/2 weeks![]()
Wow, everyone I guess starts real young from 14-18. Keep it up nix. And good to hear Dragonfly... I dont know how long it will take me, longest I can stay without a cigarette is 2 days.You go Nix!!! 6 1/2 weeks is really over the worst of it, good for you
I gave up 3 years ago after smoking for 20 years and trying to give up many times during that time.... can't even imagine smoking now, it disgusts me so much that I did for so long, very very happy I did finally do it!!!![]()
I dont know how long it will take me, longest I can stay without a cigarette is 2 days.
Well, if you still can stay two days without your drug, your addiction to it is not yet fully developed. For a long time smoker, it is almost impossible to stay ONE day without a cig, unless he absolutely must for whatever reason.Wow, everyone I guess starts real young from 14-18. Keep it up nix. And good to hear Dragonfly... I dont know how long it will take me, longest I can stay without a cigarette is 2 days.
