I started smoking when I was 11 I'm now 46. I thought smoking was cool when I was young.
I'm a grandmother (nana) of 5 I have 2 children so in that respect I'm very blessed. They are a big motivator to quit.
I went deaf about 4 months ago. Doctors aren't sure why. I can't have the Implant surgery until I quit smoking. I miss hearing my grandkids.
Update I am now 50 and will soon have 9 grandchildren. I received my cochlear implants and can hear their beautiful voices. I have stumbled several times trying to quit but I have allot of hope that this will work this time.
