Is there anyone here that still smokes after being diagnosed. I am looking for some support to quit. I have attempted it several times since my diagnoses and have failed terribly. The patches, gum, vape pens and even cold turkey (which I wouldn't recommend)! The Doctor won't put me on Chantix because I suffer from Severe Major Depression and the side effects wouldn't be good for me!!!

I smell smoke, it irritates my nose and throat. My husband doesn't notice it. Am I crazy, or can we be affected by odors that others don't notice? I use air purifiers. The one in the bedroom has helped greatly, but the one in the living room must not be big enough, because I still notice it.
Thank goodness I'm not going crazy. I smell something like burning sawdust a lot and I can smell dampness. I can also smell body odour. Very annoying. I never smoked so it isn't an enhanced sense of… read more
I don't know what it means, but pulmonary told me I was in stage 4 and if I don't quit smoking and use a c pap at night that I would die in 6 months. Well they gave me a trilogy machine and it's up to me to quit cigs. Not so hard to quit. So far it's been impossible to stay quit. I stay so depressed. This disease has control of what I can do now. And compared its horrible. As I don't watch TV nor Read... any advice?

what convinced me to quit was finding out that tobacco companies manipulate the amount of nicotine to keep us hooked, I #ucking hate being used, So I haven't touched one since. Still like weed ;-)
Sorry folks, sometimes I'm not thinking and give myself a Like or a Hug, and notice it later. Well maybe it's not a bad thing.
Been smoking for about 45 years. My wife is a smoker too.
IT is pretty easy
Don't automatically assume your health will get better if you quit smoking. The only sure thing is stopping smoking will not make it worse. I quit 9 years ago and my health has gone down every year… read more
