“I quit going to restaurants when they banned smoking. Geez, that’s gotta be about 15 years ago.”
....time was, I couldn’t wait to light up after a good meal and have a cup of coffee....smoked Camels for years and loved ‘em.....quit 5 years ago....now I have to go to pulmonary rehab...I got COPD and only 79% lung capacity...see, I thought once you quit your body heals and you go back to having perfect breathing again...wrong! ....I wish all the smokers good luck....as for me, I ain’t going back to the butts....I want to hold on to what I got left...don’t want to have to carry that oxygen tank around.
Quit smoking in July after smoking for for 43 years (started when I was 14). On July 22 had three stents put in. On July 26 had cardiac arrest and came real close to death. Don’t miss the cigarettes at all but do miss some of the better tasting food I’ve had to give up.
Sorry about your lung loss and hope you get better. God can heal, you know.
