JUST DONT SMOKE! WHATEVER YOU DO DONT SMOKE!!!
I ended up with a pain in the chest that weakened me pretty bad and went to hospital and had anangiogram, whilst on the table with a wire in my heart pumping die into my arteries the doctor told me a little story about the guy before me who was flown to sydney almost immediately and may not make it!(luckily for my I am ok) that is the reason i dont even feel like one at the moment and wish i had never started in the first place!! so now i look back and remember yule brenner saying JUST DONT SMOKE i used to laugh at it... NOW THOSE WORDS RING TRUE!!!! i have only one chance and im not going to blow it!

Don't do it Dean, yes it's bloody hard....but its even harder further down the track, make a start. I gave up and six weeks into my journey I had heart pains, had the stress test, then the echocardic stress test on top of it....I was stressed to the max, but somehow I didn't cave in and now 5 and a half months later i rarely give the cigs a thought and if I do its gone in seconds....You can do this, hang in there.

Dean, Just think of all you could lose, not just money but loved ones. I used to think I could never get past the constant cravings especialy after meals, but beleive me it gets much easier as time goes by. If you get a strong craving try and ocupy your mind or go for a walk.
