Quitting Smoking

[User00014]

I stopped for 5 years, then had a really stressful period at work and caved.

better to smoke than be stressed!

now stopped again, 3 weeks in and not a smoke and taken up running averaging 14-15km a week.

I hope this little horror story will help you keep off the fags.

As a young medic. I had an elderly chap brought in for an examination. He was on a hospital trolley and covered in a blanket.
I pulled back the blanket to discover that he had had a bilateral leg amputation (caused by his smoking) and that the "shape" of his legs under the blanket was in fact an oxygen cylinder.
He was not long for this world but what shocked me was what he held tightly in his wrinkled aged hands.

Two packets of cigarettes and a lighter.

Yeah, smoking...

You keep on running old son.

Just take it one day at a time and you'll do it . Maybe chewing gum or lozenges too

Donno what all the fuss is about. Stopping smoking is easy... I've done it loads of times. I did try patches but they keep going out.
