I smoked 2 packs a day for a long time and weighted about a hundred for a long time. I promised God one day I would guit if he would give us a child. He did right away and I never smoked again. I hate smoke too. My husband did smoke tho, and died of lung cancer at 67 yrs old, last year. It nearly broke my heart too, as we were wanting to go on a vacation. I would of just loved to travel as I had just turned 65 just after he died. I miss him so much. People just don't realized cig's kill, no matter how much they advertize it. When he died, a part of me did also, as we were married 47 years. I am happy to say I quit about 30 yrs. ago. It was the smartest thing I ever done.
I am glad you did too.
