Hi Rebecca, I am 55 and have suffered with copd for years. I just smoked my last cigarette yesterday. I have quit smoking before but I somehow seem to forget(?) that I have a chronic disease and I let an uncomfortable moment undo my hard work ! I have a productive cough, and I have been getting short of breath alot. So scary ! Cigarettes in my state cost  $9.00 a pack. so I'm hoping to save my money as well as my life. Best of luck to you on this journey, sue

Hi Rebecca,

How's it going?

I'm 57 and am having a tough time breathing, but the doc hasn't given me a name for it yet. I sure hope I can do this.a
