Reasons to quit

Staying positive

I stopped the day after my Dads funeral the hardest time in my life but I promised him I would one day as I stopped for a couple weeks before he died but he got rushed back in so I gave in and reached for the dreaded cigs so when he died on the 14th September I promised I would stop after the funeral which is what I did.My dad had emphysema and heart problems lung cancer bowel cancer he died of...

I absolutely hate what I've done to my lungs. The damage is i...

Lung X-Ray "ok" (I would assume for a smoker" but my Physician had asked me prior to have a CT Scan of my lungs due...

Only day 1 but determination

I want to quit smoking for my health, my family & for money.
