My father smoked for about 50 years and died of cancer at the age of 69. The interesting thing, that makes me write about it is what happened just the year before. He had tried to stop smoking earlier, many years ago but had started again. That time, in the 50s and 60s not so many understood how dangerous smoking is. And nobody talked about how passive smoking affects the rest of the family. After having smoked almost all his life, my father had many health problems, asthma was one of them. One of his friends, who had even worse asthma finally stopped smoking. That helped my father to decide to stop too. He saw it as a sort of channenge and it helped him to make the final decision. Some time after that he started to feel the taste of food. When he was eating, he was already planning for the next meal, and as he was rather thin, he started to put on a little more weight. It was great to see how much younger he looked only after some months without the cigarettes. He told us that he would have stopped smoking years ago if he had known how easy it was. I often wonder if he had decided to stop smoking much ealier, perhaps he would have lived healthier and much longer. About a year after stopping smoking the doctors told him he had cancer and he died a short time after that. I am still glad that he had some time of better health and his life quality was great that time. This shows that even rather old people have a possibility to get a better life quality quitting this dangerous habit. So what about you? It is maybe not too late in your case? You might be adding many years of better health to your life and at the same time the chance to give time to your family members and friends. So if you stop smoking Now, you may still have a chance.
