The bad effects of smoking

I know the many reasons why people smoke. I also know that the bad effects of smoking make people want to quit.

The problem is, it's not easy.

My ex husband of 18 years was a smoker when we first met. He quit because he knew I didn't want to be around smokers. After 25 years he went back to smoking. He tried so hard to quit (again) but couldn't.

Health is wealth so it's told.

Have you tried quitting? Or simply enjoy no matter what bad effects it does to your body.

Just want to have an opinion. That's allwave cheers

I smoked. After many attempts one morning I woke up coughing and reaching for a cigarette but gave up on the spot. From 60 a day to zero. My then wife didn't and we parted soon after - couldn't stand the smell.
I am glad you succeeded in quitting.
Sorry about the Mrs. Most Women out live the other. I can't stand being around drunks and I once was a bar fly myself. real short time and got out cheap.
I can't breathe around smokers. Just the smell of their clothes after they smoke bothers me.
I've known people who have died at 4, 12, 15, 18, 22. 30, 41, 53, and more, does smoking help your life expenctiency, no, but you still die, at any age, do what you enjoy, or not, dont eat mcdonalds, dont consume gm foods, dont stay in the sun too long, dont drive fast, dont be, dont drink the water, It's ok, I dont smoke because I want to live longer, unfortunatly I will probably die early from a non smoking disorder.

It's best not to start smoking. professor
Lindsy ~ I smoked heavily from 18 to 27. There were no patches to put on our arms or gum to chew to help with withdrawals. I tried and failed so much I just decided they had to go [or my fiancee at the time would leave me as he hated smoking] so I went down slowly on them....
It worked, I did not talk about it, join a group, I just went down to milder types of cigarettes and eventually was off. My hints are, Drink plenty of water, Avoid Curried or highly spiced food as this brings on the urge for a ciggie. Same goes for sweet things, cookies, cakes. fizzy drinks.

If you are craving a cigarette, eat an apple and keep brushing your teeth. I did it and If I can do it anyone can. I used to have a cigarette before my breakfast !!blushing
I smoked for 20 years and loved smoking so much would at times not eat my lunch but would smoke
One day a young girl I had never met before came up to me in church and said; How do you know that the Lord does not have something really good for you if you quit smoking.
I just shrugged and smoked another two years.
In 1984 for no reason I understood, I stopped smoking cold turkey.
Three weeks later I met Hugo, we were married for 21 years and four days.
It was then I remembered what that girl had told me in church two years earlier.
It was a prophecy................cheering
