I appriciate her opinion and I gladly give her a chance to speak it-<br /><br />NOT a joking matter. Addiction is individualized. Drew is trying to relate to people who smoke. CRS (cant remember sh*$) produces random memory glitches so go easy on him. My poor Mom had a lung lobe removed b/c of cancer and her MV (a hear...t valve) replaced. She smoked since she was 16. Sincerely doubt it was b/c she simply liked to smoke and didn't have withdrawals. In fact, she smokes TODAY. I'll probably bury her with a pack of cigs. I've taken care of 30-90 yr old smokers who CANT BREATHE anymore. Many have nicotine patches. Some patients NEVER get off the vent (breathing machine) and die on the vent which aint pretty...<br /><br />I have my own vices, but please hear me out occasional and daily smokers. Dont kid yourself by joking around or living in denial - QUIT SMOKING! I know it can be done b/c I quit when I was 24. It was damn hard to do without a relapse, but I did it and you can too if you commit. <<< Stepping off soap box >>>edbellmcsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07263919297406152341noreply@blogger.com
