I lost my dad about 4 years ago to smoking, he had COPD. That is what probably scares me the most. Your lungs just stop working and you cannot catch your breath. Smoking causes chronic diseases that last the rest of you life. It's not like a broken arm that heals in time. Find a reason and stay focused on it. Myself, my Missus, and Freedumb have all done it. Me and the Missus quit about a month and a half ago. I did use the patch and it helped me immensely. Trust me when I say, if I can quit, anyone can quit. I was a two pack a day smoker, and it was firmly entrenched in my lifestyle. In fact the lifestyle change was harder for me than physically quitting. But I seriously do feel better already. The first couple of weeks are kind of rough, but once you get through that it gets a whole lot easier. It may take multiple attempts but you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Give it go!

Write down a list of all the reason you want to quit, even the morbid, scary thoughts like dying of lung cancer, breathing through a tube, and leaving ur family and friends...then look at that list, and when ur ready, try to quit! That's probably the most important thing...being ready and having the mindset of trying...Plus you got a blog...it's a great tool...
