mylast,
The last time I got bronchitis and went to the doctor my breathing was bad and I was not getting an adequate percentage of oxegen. I was given a couple of nebulizers and my breathing got better. But this not until after the doctor scared me to death with the E word. She told me it was my wake up call, that I can only naturally expect this after 30 years of smoking. Because the breathing proved to be reversable and improved she took back the E word and left it at bronchitis. I was scared into quitting...it worked.
When I think of how Peter Jennings died of lung cancer after having quit so many years prior I know there still is a chance I may I die of a smoking related disease, but odds are better and better every day that I won't.
You've made the best choice you've ever made. Use this site to get you through the early tough times. Now I hardly think about smoking. You will reach this day too!
