to quit or not to quit!!!

hi angelamp... thank you for writing... and i want to congratulate you because you succeed in quitting smoking... thats a brave step and i am sure this step will add new and happier years in your as well as your near and dear ones life. welldone and hats of to u... can you share your success story, what all difficulty did you faced while kicking the butt, and what measures did you took? your valuable tips can save the life of many others. thank you.

i never did anything marvelous.. i just decided to quit and fought all the urges... there were times i stole a puff or two or more but then i felt disgusted with myself afterwards. i had to tell myself that if i want to live longer i have to quit. when i used to smoke i didnt give a damn about life but when i realized that there's more to life, i told myself that i should do stuff for self preservation... prevention is better than cure...my father is a chain smoker and i have had hoped since i was a child that he would quit...for a while he did but then he's back at it...i can say he might have influenced me to adapt the habit... i have quit... i dont know when my father will do the same thing... soon i hope before it's too late... to all those who want to quit, hmm..all i can say is, know what you want...if you want to quit, you have to want it badly...and stick to it!

thank you angel, for sharing your success story and i hope many more will get inspired by you. this will boost their will power against quitting smoking. thank you once again. take care bye.

hi sktekweb... dear friend i think you are a smoker, so let me tell you that there are more disadvantage than advantage in smoking. do you know chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( copd )? its a pulmonary disease, which caused mainly due to smoking. heavy smokers after certain age tend to fall into the trap of copd. and you know copd is irreversible disease. in copd a heavy mucous start to accumulate in your air pipe, pharynx, layrynx, (throat) then they start obstruction, and you will have difficulty in eating or drinking and after certain time it will obstruct the air flow also... it cause dry cough, weezing cough and the cough will not allow you to sleep... now can you imagine the lot of that person with copd. so my dear friend for your sake only stop smoking now itself...
