I remember only to well worrying about Marks cough that was happening more often especially at night so he finally made up his mind to quit, he was still working away alot at the time plus he worked with several smokers but he was determined! He also saw his Dr and had chest xrays plus a CT scan when he saw his Dr again and found out he had mild copd he'd already had over a month quit!I figured I was fine so I kept on smoking, outside of course which we'd been doing for yrs anyway I had a Dr's appointment that June the Dr listened to my chest and sent me for a breathing test which showed mild copd! Anyway to make a long story shorter I I found this site on line and read everything I could which strengthened my resolve to quit and stay quit WHEW it sure as hell wasn't easy BUT it sure as hell was AND is worth it to be Free! As difficult as quitting smoking AND or Vaping or dipping is thankfully with commitment AND perseverance it's absolutely doable AND totally worth it to be Free!

 yeah for Mark and you @MarilynH 

"addiction is a cunning and baffling enemy" that it is.  The journey is hard to switch our thought process but life is much easier and rewarding without puffing and pouting

Congratulations Mark, if you read this.   Way to take control and make the choice to stop the self-harm!    @MarilynH   Congratulations to you too, cos you will have Mark longer now, that's a win-win.  

Keep making good decisions for your health today.  Take care of your body.

I'm a proud Gram of 2 grandsons and a granddaughter and I consider myself a jack of all trades and a master of none, plus I enjoy reading and being outside and since quitting smoking breathing is so much easier because I'm not coughing half of my time sucking on a cancer stick....
