I smoked from the time I was 14 until I was 29 and for about 10 years of that I no longer enjoyed it. I also realized what it was doing to my body as I used to be a cross-country runner and could run all day. It didn’t take long at all before I was not able to run much at all.
I finally quit smoking when I was 29 without any assistance other than knowing I was destroying my heart and lungs but for dumb reason I won’t explain here I began to smoke again when I was 47 and didn’t stop smoking until I had an almost fatal heart attack.
I was in the hospital long enough to quit smoking but the damage was done and there was no operation that could help. I was sent home with lots of drugs and told that if I walked enough I could grow new blood vessels that would deliver more blood and oxygen to my body.
Well the walking took me almost 5 years before I was even able to go fishing again.
quit smoking and live like you actually have a life.
