  • Rebecca had all five toes on her right foot amputated because of Buerger’s disease. The reality only hit her when she sorted her shoes into two piles: those she could still wear and those she couldn’t.

      The risk reduces over time, but it's not like you quit and are good. It's surely the right step tho. I'm at month 9 and not regretting it one day.

      The intense drug withdrawal lasts 7 days and regular withdrawal lasts a little over a month and then it drops down quite a bit after that. That is when you get your absolutely unmistakable true taste of freedom. It's really life altering and truly something to celebrate. No longer a slave! YAY! Then, the withdrawal, light as it may be at this point, is usually completely gone in 6 months. Then its like you never smoked!

    Rebecca C now they make silicone toes so you can get your toes back on your right foot again and you will be able to wear sandals and flip flops again because they are the same as your skin color so I just wanted to let you know Rebecca C.

    Rebecca C. If you want toes on your foot you can get artificial toes that look like your toes because you need them for balance.
    I think cigarettes should be illegal because they are very bad for people's health my dad smoked from when he was 15 to 33 years old so my dad had real lung problems when he got in his 70's so he was in the hospital 4 times so he got really sick in January 2009 and he lost his mobility and he couldn't stand anymore and his pooper quit working in January 2009 and he had a trike put in his throat in May 2009 and he died on June 1, 2009 so I think cigarettes and tobacco should be illegal Rebecca C.

    Smoking is very bad because I had a buddy Charles D. Agans (Dewey) was sick from March 1997 to October 3, 1997 and he died on October 3, 1997 he was on his bed a lot he was 68 years old when he died from cancer and smoker's cough and I was very mad about it because Dewey was a very good buddy to me Rebecca C. So I really want Smoking to be illegal.
