I decided to quit when I recognized other peoples lies. I recognized them before my own!!! Imagine that. One friend has "allergies" when it is humid so has to use this inhaler and wakes up in the night because she can't breath. A couple friends can't laugh or have a telephone conversation without getting into a deep throaty coughing fit. You know of the astronaut from Ashland, NE, his mother and I went to stop smoking classes. After the last class we went out for coffee and cigarettes. She died of lung cancer about a week or so after he got back from the space station. Neither of us quit after those classes, but after she died, it made me think. I used to say I didn't want to be on old lady with my head hanging in my plate at a nursing home. I got to thinking I don't want to be carrying around an oxygen tank either. I can't believe how many people my sister and I knew that have died or are dying from COPD. Made me think and stay smokefree these last 8 months.
