cold toes
I have a mild case of peripheral vascular disease. About four years ago my toes were going numb. I know it was poor circulation from smoking fifteen smokes a day. I have been smoking for 44 years and I am turning 49. I am beginning to get sensation in my toes if I cut down to one a day. I am cutting down to quit. I am proud to be able to get down to one. It gives me so much hope. Last month I was struggling with ten a day. This is my journey.
Yes. I started smoking at five years old. My four year old neighbourhood girlfriend used to take them from her custodian and give them to me. Then as time went on my brother used to give me cigarettes as rewards for sporting achievements. I broke a lot of records when I was a kid. I smoked on a daily basis when I was fifteen. I didn't feel hooked until they got sold in packets of twenty. When cigarettes were sold in packets of fifteen I could take them or leave them. I started to have five a day. This began to affect my schooling. I didn't make it through year eleven.
