I smoked for almost 20 years. Started around the age 16/17 quiting was one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life but worth it. I've been clean from cigs for 3 years and still crave them periodically but I will never give in to that demon again. The pull and addiction is so strong I feel empathy for those still struggling to quit. I still hope and pray that i don't develop cancer or any diseases from the former abuse. God bless these individuals who quit or trying to 💖
Come on guys, he clearly says "my youngest sister" and to me that means that she was the youngest among the women (his sisters), not that she was younger than him.
I am on the 20th day of my quit. I smoked for over 40 years from the age of 15. I am quitting before any serious illness has entered my life. I come to places like this to keep me strong and resolute. I know that at 56 years of age to have continued smoking a pack a day the chances of me staying healthy would have rapidly diminished. I feel as if I have dodged a bullet. I know that you can be diagnosed with COPD illnesses etc. after you quit. I hope I have escaped.

At Mayo I was told quitting smoking was harder than quitting heroine. I’ve never done heroine, but I hear that’s also very difficult to stop. I’m still unsuccessful. I hate that I do it. I’ve tried everything but hypnosis. I’m a Christian woman, and although it is not a sin, my pastor has said it smells like I’ve been to hell - or something like that. Still hopeful....
He started in the 60s Back then Smoking was not as Known and Everywhere Smoking was Legal Apposed to Today Where is one of the Leading Causes of Death & No longer a Attractive
