Thanks to everyone who took the time to encourage me....your words were allo taken to heart.....To the lady that wrote me about the seriousness of copd...thank you...I realize quitting is not an option for me any longer....I see a Doctor Thurday regarding copd and one of her specialties is smoking cessation....I hope she can offer hope...I am taking chantix now...day 4 but don't know if I should be taking it.....I am going to rest now but thanks to everyone from the bottom of my heart.....Marilyn
