As a former smoker and then suddenly being diagnosed with cancer I can NOT fathom how many people continue to smoke through out their cancer experience. If there was ever a time for a wakeup call if would be now!
It is one thing to preach to others on quiting...I KNOW it is not an easy thing to accomplish. I tried a few times in the past 15 years but never managed more than a few weeks.
Having my life appear on death's door opened my eyes to want to live and smoking had no part my survival. This is why it is so hard for those not going through such a life altering experience to be able to do it themselves. You think you are invincible and nothing will happen to you....maybe but then again you never know when it might.
I also never realized how much the cigarette smoke stinks up the whole car and also comes out of your lungs inside the house LONG after you put it out...outside. Hard when someone you love continues to smoke!!!So disgusting....such a dirty habit...such a waste of money!!
Do yourself a favour and TRY to quit.....and never give up trying to quit until you do....One day you will wake up and say enough is enough....hopefully not when you see someone die from cancer around you....hopefully not when you have been diagnosed yourself.
Stop smoking and start taking fresh air into your lungs and for the first time in a long time...breathe!!
