I have never smoked. Spent the first 10 years of my life watching my dad struggle for breath and then die because of it. I can remember very clearly my dad, hooked up to the oxygen tank and still lighting up. |

wow, jet i'm sorry you had to witness that. yea, i know a couple of people who lost a parents to lung diseases related to smoking and never want to touch cigs as a result. I am a smoker and I sincerely wish I could quit. Being addicted is complicated though. It's not just the nicotine you miss. You become emotionally reliant on the nicotine and the very act of smoking. |

I smoked about a pack a day. After I was injured ( Ptsd) I stayed in the back room & I'm afraid I went up to 3 packs. I lost 2 years after that, smoking like that. I'm down to 2 packs . Some other things are on my mind right now which makes it hard to attempt, come to think of it, there's so much on my mind I can't sort it all out. Yes, I have to quit, some of you may understand that. |

I do smoke and have been since I was 14.
It seems when I'm in a depression I get so much worse and smoke nearly a pack a day.
Does anybody else have this happen to them? | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
