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?
I agree with this. If you don't want to quit then you won't. Wouldn't it follow then that if you don't quit it's not because you can't but because you won't. It takes work for most people. I'm not… read more
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 have tried patches, magnets, E cigarettes and through the Quit campagain in Australia. The closest I have come to succeeding was with the patches until I got really sick with influenza A. Doesn't help when my husband is a smoker?
Try all of these. One will work for you and don't let your husband smoke in the house & make him eat peppermints after he smoke to take the smell away.

I desperately (as do a lot of us) need to stop smoking. I have been using inhalators. However, I have read somewhere that these are dangerous too. Does anybody else still use inhalators and do they think they're alright? One of the medications I take is aminophylline, and I was puffing away on my inhalator like nobody's business. My theophylline levels went sky high, there is a danger of toxicity, and my aminophylline was stopped immediately for three days until the level of toxicity in my… read more
Try Nicolette 15mg Inhalators. My sister is using these and you can use them anywhere. Speak to your doctor about getting them. Hope it helps.
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 ;-)
I have mild copd.
Use two inhalers.
September i had chest infection which has left to with copious amount if clear phlegm and cough.
Have to use salbutamol too much to help me to expel phlegm.
Had two courses of steroids and antibiotics.
Stopped smoking for two years and FOOLISHLY STARTED AGAIN. Six month ago.
The more I try to quit cigarettes the more i smoke.
Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks.
