Health, bills.... And active!!!

Oh forget to mention the reason I quit was because first and for most I love to breathe, it feels so good!! Also I quit because I have so much bills for massage school, cc bills, so money is an issue. I'd rather save the money for important things rather then killing myself with all these harmful chemicals put in cigarettes. I'm more active then I was when I started smoking again. I quit smoking 2 1/2 years ago then started up jan of 2015 and I quit cold turkey again in July 5 2015. Hopefully god almighty gives us the strength to quit smoking for good!!

Maybe the message on cigarette packets should read "Are you thinking of committing suicide..." For me after 40 something years of smoking, having stopped, the best thing is being able to breathe without wheezing, especially at night. My labored breathing no longer exists, nor wakes me up. You mention you have quit a number of times and I think this is a good reminder for anyone on this site that we have never really quit, just stopped, and we must be on guard to remain that way. Like I have said before, has anyone heard someone who has never smoked say that they would love to light up a cigarette.... Doubt it as they have no cravings.
Since the cost has spiraled out to anything between $75 to $300+ I don't know that that is a good investment and would do more good if added to paying off the mortgage or salary sacrificed to Superannuation... Wishing you success...
