Rep Power: 0 | | Glad to hear that you quit. I am sorry that it came from getting COPD and CHF. That's what happened to my Mom. She was diagnosed with those two and didn't quit at first. It took her almost 2 years after that before she quit. She passed away last November after about 8 years of being on 24/7 oxygen. Quote:

This hole in my heart is in the shape of you and no one else can fit. Why would I want them to?? |

Rep Power: 0 | | Oh yeah, I don't smoke. I never have and never will. Especially after seeing my Mom suffer for 8 years from the effects of her smoking.

Rep Power: 43 | | | I ran across an interesting article last year that a group of European doctors had recommended smokers switch to Swedish Snus... aka dipping that the health risk was way lower and the cancer rate in Sweden where many have this habit is extremely low. It was in response to the rest of Europe banning Snus, but allowing cigarettes. and no, I don't smoke. I think that was due to my parents pissing me off by smoking around me when I was younger. |

Good to see that most of the people on here, surprisingly, aren't smokers.
I used to smoke years ago and I quit and would never look back.. so I can talk all of the shit I want.  | | |
