Deborah47 Hi Deborah. Welcome! I have quit smoking 17 days now and I know it is the best thing that I could ever do for myself. I also get bronchitis and the wheezing on my chest. What are we trying to do to ourselves anyway. I am feeling so much better now, no wheezing at all and it feels wonderful just going to bed at night and being able to have a good nights sleep. I am 49 and will be 50 in April and have been smoking for about 35 years as well. If you want to chat just add me as a friend and we can get through this together. Keep up the good work and keep your health in mind!
