    Ya know - the strange thing is - that for as many years as I smoked, I never had any respiratory issues. Every chest x-ray I ever had was clear, no chronic bronchitis or other breathing issues, no COPD, and no other health issues related to smoking other than the osteoporosis and GI issues. Those GI issues REALLY made up for the lack of other issues tho, I suppose, and in all fairness, they were hereditary too. I just chalk up the bone issues to my age.....

    Congratulations!!

    I will always be grateful for the Pneumonia I had 15 years ago. It made me so miserable for a week, that I never thought of lighting up. And I just kept going from there.

    Wish something like that had worked for me. No matter how deathly sick I may have been (and I did nearly check out once), I always lit up once I got feeling better. Talk about stupid...........

    Congratulations, Ellie! Well done!

    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

    Something to be proud of Pom, so many of my friends have tried to quit but never stuck it out. Congratulations and I'm glad to see you don't miss it, at least you won't be tempted to start up again. My sister-in-law quit a few yrs ago and the first thing she said was that she didn't realize how the cigarette smoke made her clothes and house smell not so fresh. Keep up the good work.
