Hi I am 70 and smoked since I was 14 only stopped for 9 months when pregnant I enjoyed cigs but aware of health risks so only smoked 3 a day for the last 25years 2 months ago got a bacterial chest infection antibiotics didn’t work and I thought this is it lung cancer I would rather die now .my son is only 26 and still very much needs his mum how could I have put cigs before him. You can imagine the anxiety. Good news 2nd lot antibiotics worked still coughing night and day big style do to stopped smoking but looks like I am going to make it will I smoke again you guessed it. If only for your kids. Srap

If you only smoked 3 a day then you should be able to give them away. I have been smoking between 25-30 per day. If alone would be less but when socializing then could be more. All my friends smoke and even though I am only 5 days free it didn't worry me. You will be fine and will stay smoke free.

Well done! I don't think it really matters how many you smoked each day - its still addiction that can be hard to break. Stick with it. Don't just get better from your chest infection and sneak one. Stop now - for yourself as much as your son.

HI Scrap, well done for giving up. It can be hard but it's worth it. I have posted her about my aunt who is very sick and an uncle with advanced emphasema. They are suffering so badly. It's great to give yourself this chance to get your health back on track.
