Stop and Shop

The sad thing, if an adict wants it bad enough, they'll get it and it'll be worse then the tabaco products currently on the market. Sounds like proibition all over again.

Not my business territory: how can she afford smokes? One of my brothers made it to 43. Barely 43. Clogged arteries. He watched my Dad slowly dying from nicotine, Dad's last years on an oxygen machine. Brother still smoked until well, he couldn't.

I hope that helps her quit.

No-one can make her do it, she has to want to herself. My Dad smoked since he was a teenager (in the 1930s) and all through my childhood I remember telling him he should stop and he would say he had tried. He was never a really heavy smoker, but still.... Anyway I think something must have scared him because suddenly, after I left home, my Mum told me he had stopped smoking. We didn't think it would last but sure enough he never smoked again. He was in his late 60s then and lived to 93 in pretty good health. He never told us what had inspired him to stop so suddenly out of the blue!

Smoking is so gross. That being said all of the teens are vaping now so it is like 6 of one/half dozen of another. Vapes supposedly are even worse for the lungs.

I hope this really makes a difference for her. Fingers crossed this is the push she needs to finally kick the habit for good.

Smoking is one of the hardest addictions to overcome, but it can be done.

I hope she quits this time.

I keep hoping my mother will quit, but she hasn't yet.
