Anyone can get lung cancer.....you don't have to have smoked
But, your chances increase if you were or are a smoker
Besides cancer, there are many diseases and problems that can come from smoking.
All of them are serious
However, today, it is cancer that made my heart drop and my blood run cold
A very dear friend had lung cancer a few years ago.....yes, a heavy smoker.
She was "lucky"........they removed a lobe and seemed to have gotten it all......no chemo, no radiation.
It has been five years.
Today......new cancer, metastatic, very aggressive.
 
There can be no problem, no stress, no love life issue....... NOTHING that would make you want to pursue a day like she is having today
So please............whatever you are dealing with that may be making you think you want to smoke.....you don't.
Please.

I quit smoking in 2009 after years and years of addiction. I just became sick and tired of the whole smoking thing. This site was a lifesaver with the support I received...so as you can see, I hung around to help others. I became friends with many people....some are here now and some are gone. Welcome to anyone who is new....this is EX....we are all here for each other.
