Health demands quitting
In December 2024I was in hospital ER for "bronchitis" had a persistent cough since September and started to experience flu like symptoms day after Christmas. While at hospital they did a chest x ray that showed no pneumonia. and also fo a ekg to insure I wasn't having a heart attack. And I was not. When I followed up with my pcp he informed me what those test did show was u had a compressed spine fracture I was unaware of and the ekg showed I had left ventricular hypertrophy. All disorders caused from smoking. Time to quit. Feb. 29th was my quit date and I have been snoke free for 8 days.

We all had to make the deciision to stop letting smoking rule us. We did not really like smoking, we just didn't like the cravings if we did not. It is an endless cycle until we stop making excuses and want to take back control. It is definitely time to take a stance. You can do this. FUcigs!
