Wow, I definetly am a Happy quitter I really like my life since I decided that it was time to take care of myself. I am 55 yrs old and smoked just shy of 40 yrs and when I found out last July that I have copd I chose life over the addiction to cigarettes, my husband quit smoking April 25th / 14  he found out that he has the beginning of emphysema. I thought I was fine until the breathing test which I flunked ,so July 14th /14 was day 1 of my quit. Life without cigarettes is absolutely fantastic, quitting smoking is definitely sooooooo doable . My husband and I both smoked 28 to 30 cigarettes a day , I never figured out how much money we've saved but I am certain that it's a lot but more importantly we stopped our lungs from getting any worse and hopefully added a few good years to our lives, keep your quits everyone save money and add a few years to your lives. Have a wonderful day.

I'm a proud Gram of 2 grandsons and a granddaughter and I consider myself a jack of all trades and a master of none, plus I enjoy reading and being outside and since quitting smoking breathing is so much easier because I'm not coughing half of my time sucking on a cancer stick....
