If your doctor told you that you have COPD?....

or Emphysema?...

what would you do if your doctor told you that you have throat cancer?...

WOULD YOU QUIT SMOKING THEN?

Would you KEEP making EXCUSES to Smoke?

Would you KEEP saying how hard it is to STOP?

Just wonderin what YOU would do...

My friend (life long smoker) was diagnosed with COPD in November 2010. Still smoking and states that she can't quit. BS! I feel bad for her but she is making a choice that she will soon regret and for the rest of her life. I tried to inspire her and told her aboout this site, but to no avail. It has to be your own decision. If it were me, I would quit. I decided to quit on July 14, 2009 before I was handed a fatal diagnosis. I rejoce every day for that excellent decision.

Choose life!

On April 18th 2002 I had a heart attack, I had to be shocked 13 times. I was unconscious and on a ventilator for 3 days and I was not expected to live. After nearly a month in the Cardiac ICU I left the hospital with two stints and an implanted defibrillator/pacemaker in my chest. It took me ten days of hard work to be able to walk five minutes on flat ground non stop. I have never smoked another cigarette since the heart attack, but about three months after I left the hospital I started smoking cigars. I was not diagnosed with a smoking related disease, I died from a smoking related disease and still continued to smoke. That's not what I would do now but that is what I did then.

Hypophetically (sp) speaking? I would quit. That's easy for me to say now, cause I'm doing it...lol

Hubby was diagnoised with it and still "going strong". It makes me feel that much determined...

Hmmmmm I would come here, and have the pleasure, nay the privelege, nay the honor of meeting you!!! And then I would whine at you on hard days, cheer you on when you took steps, celebrate success' with you, and every day I would wake up with COPD, and decide that I am not gunna smoke today.
