I'm in this too. Except that I have been smoking longer then most of you have been alive. Anyway, it is not enough to want to quit. As another member already stated you do have to make changes to your live style. But with so many places that don't allow smoking it should be a little easier then in past years.
My doctor prescribed a new drug on the market (CHANTIX). It is a pill, that works on the brain. Makes you feel like you have smoked more then you actually have. It is a three month program, you take the pill twice a day. It is no miracle drug, and it is not cheap, but I for one am really hoping it works. I was able to find it @ walmart for $113.89 for the 1st. months supply. You need a prescription, and from what I understand it is not an antidepressent like wellbutrin. Which by the way I tried some 8 yrs.ago it didn't work for me. Do web search for "CHANTIX". So far I am smoking less, and hope to be smoke free long before the 3 months. I'm on my third week. May God grant us the strength to quit.
Herman, I don't believe you actually mean that... I have battled cancer once, it is not worth it. Nothing in this world is worth going through chemo, radiation, shots, medically induced hot flashes.
Surgery - which is no party. You better make sure you have someone that trully loves you to help you.
Chemo - causes you to barf, get the runs, infections al over including your mouth. Loss of appetite, hair, your hands & nails to turn black, not to mention weakness.
Radiation - daily visits to the radiation clinic for 6 - 8 weeks, No walks in the sun light (forbidden for upto atleast 1 year), radiation burns, weekness (that can last upto 2 years), this time skin infections. And the list goes on.
Be blessed,
Awilda
