hey girl.....keep in mind that just because your heart and lungs are fine doesnt mean smoking is ok ! Don't give in! your thru the first week ( thats the hardest ) . Thats " Little Satan " in your head telling you ....." your ok, have a smoke. " DONT LISTEN TO THAT VOICE IN YOUR HEAD! It tells you whatever it thinks will make you smoke. Smoking is bad in so many MORE ways than just heart and lungs.....for example..... I had a problem with boils on the back of my legs up high near my butt. It was painful just to sit in my truck or on a chair. I was getting them all the time, sometimes 2 at once. Since i quit.....NOT ONE! Also, my back used to hurt constantly. I chalked it up to getting older, but i recently realized.......IT DOESNT HURT NOW! Please remember this...... smoking is VERY unhealthy in so many ways. Stay strong and your quality of life will be so much better thru the comming years. not to mention you'll live longer. I smoked for 35 yrs, and i've decided that NO MATTER WHAT, I'll NEVER smoke again. I hope you make that same decision. Oh, by the way.....the patches do work..... my wife quit using them.....she's 3 yrs smoke free and hates to even smell a cigarette. I quit using the smoke free program. It's natural herbs you take in capsule form. It worked for me, but after i finished my program i was COLD TURKEY. The next 3 weeks were a living hell for me. I suffered depression and severe anxiety from withdrawl. I was ready to give up and smoke, but my wife stood strong by me and convinced me to chew some nico gum i had left from the last time i tried to quit. It saved MY LIFE ! So remember that whatever it takes.... DONT SMOKE ! You CAN make it !
