I was a long-term smoker and really enjoyed it. The day I got diagnosed with COPD my doctor said if I didn't quit I would be dead in a year (was diagnosed with severe COPD). I never touched another cigarette. I quit going to any place where I always smoked; at home I would get up and do something; stopped smoking in the car. It was life style changes. Went through a short time when I felt I had lost my best friend. Much to my surprise, within one week I was done. No cravings, no desire to smoke. I haven't smoked a single cigarette since.... it's been 17 years. You have to make a conscious decision about which is more important... cigarettes or living. You'd be surprised what a difference not smoking makes in you're life. You gain back all the time you spent smoking, never had to double check that I had cigarettes before I went out, saved bunches of money. A big benefit was that when I quit, my husband quit too. I never told a soul was quitting - it my own personal battle. Quitting is a win-win situation. Good luck to you.

i'm afraid ecigs are brilliant and alot of people are smoking them now you must be looking at the old news and no way are they like cigarettes health wise and shouldnt put people off of somthing tht can help them quit n what works for you may not work for some 1 else, although well done you for quittng no matter what crutch you used.

It's the only thing that slows this COPD down . Decision will effect your quality of life and believe me this progressive disease gets deadly.

I smoke for 50 years and it was really hard to quit but I did it. My husband doesn`t smoke he quit over 30 years ago it would be really hard to quit if someone in the house smoked. I guess the best advice I can give is with COPD you need to quit. I will pray for you

read the warning notice on the box and take out the word MAY.
