Hello All!!!

17 years ago 0 +0 / -0 204

Great to see that so many people are quitting. Its hell, but worth it. My new life has been hard, but thats ok. I feel great. Just found out that a real good friend has heart disease. His heart is ok, its the walls outside his heart that are screwed up. He has smoked for 29 years. He probably wont make it home, he cant walk 50 yards without stopping for a rest. His red blood count is sky high because it is trying to deliver more oxygen to the heart. So, take a lesson from him. Take a deep breath and enjoy it while you can!

Danielle, I am more pissed off than ever b4. I love that man, he was my mentor all through my school days and into my career. He tought me more about life than my own father did. What a waste of a great person only to be killed by cigaretts. He is only 58. I am praying that his doctors will pull something out of there hat!

Danielle, You have no idea what this feels like! I mean, why is it illegal to use cocane and not tabaco? They both are addicting and they both kill! I dont get it. Why does our governments allow tabaco use if they know it kills just like illicit drugs? This is the point that I am trying to convey to my congressman. Yet they could care less! They except money from the tabaco companys for there political campaign, yet they know that it is wrong. OMG! What hypocrites! They pass laws that forbid smoking in buildings and even now, in cars and in the homes of foster parents. Again, yet they wont face the fact that tobaco kills just like cocane and other street drugs. WHF! Go figure!

Hello jaset, Haven't seen you for a while.. or maybe haven't been reading your posts.. anyway, nice to see you again. So sorry about your friend. We learn so much from another's plight and when we think of them it reminds us how very fragile life is and how we have to protect our quit with everything we have. Looks like you are doing very well with your quit.. way to go!

Jaset, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. It really is a shame that smoking has claimed another. It is moments like these that remind us of the freedom our quit has brought. Danielle ______________________ The SSC Support Team

Jaset, Understandably so! This addiction claims the health of many and it really is a shame especially for those who fall prey to the effects of second hand smoke. Hopefully, you're friend will follow your lead and thus the mentee will now become the mentor. Danielle ______________________ The SSC Support Team

Jaset, Currently, the FDA has not right to regulate the tobacco industry. There are initiatives taking places all over the world to introduce new legisltation to change this. So keep lobbying. If we all do our part, someday soon maybe will be able to bring Big Tobacco down! Danielle ______________________ The SSC Support Team

Sorry about your friend. I guess we just about all have reminders of how terriable this crazy addiction is. Brothers. sisters, parents and friends. That is why we all need to quit and stay quit of this nasty habit. I am very proud of you and what you have accomplished.
