So tomorrow the 5th September marks one year without smoking, feel and breathe so much better these days. If I had not quit then maybe the triple bypass I had in April this year may not of happened, the fact that I was trying to improve my overall health was one of the reasons doctors went ahead. They are picky these days and will not help you if you cant help yourself. Make a choice like I did and give it up. I was a 42 year, one pack a day smoker and quit cold turkey, you can do it.
