As i read many blogs of those with serious health issues that smoking has either contributed or made worse, i have to realize that I am lucky. I say this because even though i smoked for 15 years, i didnt have trouble breathing or daily coughs and weezing. My bloodpressure was never out of control and I was generally healthy. So by quitting now I am avoiding what could be if i continued to smoke. Many people do not have this option so i say i am lucky. For all those quitting I give you my support because i know how hard this is.
