I am 60 years old and have tried to quit many times. I have managed to cut down to less than 5 a day, usually only smoke 1/4 at a time. Tried to quit a week ago while my husband was gone, but did not make it. Have set a new quit date of 5/7. I'm tired of coughing all the time, and have been very sick this past winter. X-ray to determine if I had pneumonia (did not) showed two spots. CT results - I have a nodule in each lung. Follow-up in 6 months to determine if benign or cancerous. Scared, but still having hard time trying to quit.
