I went to the cardiologist for high blood pressure.He ONLY had to tell me one time..I have early stage of emphezma. I immedialtly went cold turkey have chewed the nicotrin gum.I have not smoked for 5 days and NEVER will again.So I guess if you really want to live you will quit.I smoked 2 packs a day for 30 yrs and the ultimate statement is "what did you expect?" No problem I quit.If a person has to decide between living and not living you WILL quit.TH e disease is painful.I just pray it will be ok.we choose to do the damage to ourselfs no one else and the dr is right..What do you expect after yrs of smoking.NOw I understand and when I see folks smoking ,I truly believe they are killing themselvs and I was.Keeping busy and doing away w/all ashtrays helps alot.This was not a scare it was the truth.keep busy think about living or dying and you will quit...some sort of aid will help and will replace the cigarettes for the interm of the process.I have no back teeth but I do chew the gum and it does help.
