I had my last smoke in December 2010 .... I went cold turkey and refused to give into this little 4inch stick of addiction. The first week was the hardest...Every time I had finished a nice meal I used to grab for a smoke and enjoyed it.
As I got older I realized I need to stop this before I end up with emphysema or connected up to an oxygen bottle....I didn't want that in later life.
It's been 15 years now and my health has improved no end.
I did have a quadruple heart bypass operation in 2015 ( 5 years after I quit smoking ), and the doctors first question to me was ' are you a smoker ' ...I had smoked on and off for approx' 35 years , which contributed to my heart problem along the way.
I actually now feel sick from passive smoking when someone nearby smokes and the wind blows it in my direction.
I have added a text from a Medical Resource which I hope will help anyone.
