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!!! Two weeks ago I had an exacerbation and the E.R doctor ordered chest x-ray.s He came back after reading them… read more

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.

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?

Well done Bonnie. You show me I should be doing more to help myself.
I have a gas stove so have purchased an induction hot plate which is much safer. I also use an electric grill and an air fryer.
Since I quit smoking I have had no flare ups but I am very short winded and can't do normal activities. I lose my breath instantly. Will this go away in time since i quit smoking
I have smoked all my life. I am finally down to two to three cigarettes a day. It certainly is a paradox. I want to get well, feel better, but I love my cigarettes. I must say, it has helped my… read more
