Affected Health

Giving up has been a long time coming! It's something that is/has always been on my mind, main reason for giving up is my health, my Dad died at the age of 61 & was a smoker his whole life, I'm about to turn 35 & don't want to go down the same path. There are heart conditions on both sides of my family & my maternal Grandmother had half her lung out due to lung cancer. I want to be around to see my children grow up & have families of their own. My journey has only started this week, I have already cut down from 15-20 a day to 8-9 a day over the last couple of days. My quit date will be at midnight on the day before my 35th birthday.
