Samantha1018,I quit smoking in a way that no one wants to. I had a 99% blockage that caused a heart attack 6 weeks ago. I had a stent put in to allow the blood to flow through my heart and that was the end of my even wanting to smoke. I didn't crave another cigarette and I haven't wanted one since. While it's not the way I would suggest anyone stops, it is how I stopped. There are wonderful resources out there to help anyone stop smoking and I hope that you avail yourself of them. I feel so much better now that I don't smoke and would highly recommend stopping. It takes 3 days for your body to get rid of the nicotine and 3 days is definitely worth the rest of your life.

BONNIEFLG,My sole mate ( age 65) smoked 3 packs a day & 2 years ago decided to switch to vaping..You can buy the liquid for it by nicotine amounts in it ..He started using zero nicotine after only 2 months...He still vapes but as the months roll on he sometimes forgets to take it with him when he leaves the house instead of having it in his mouth like a pacifier like he did when he first started...

connectcare,I understand your mother's death process. I coded three times, and I vividly recall one. The medical system is so sordid. Your mother really is in a much better place. I got to the gate myself. I'm here now, and I must make the best of this life.

BevPohlit,I quit smoking when I had a heart attack. I had a 95% blockage. You need to decide if smoking is worth it. Your son already knows what is best. I applaude you for losing weight, and trying to eat healthy. Many people drink soda, eat chips and other junk food but, when they stop that, they lose weight. I pray you continue to try to quit smoking and eat healthy.
