PLEASE, IF YOU SMOKE , QUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pearl]

Aug 1, rushed to hospital, Sept 10th came home with O2 after week in hospital and 3 weeks in re-hab.
My CO2 was equal to or greater than my O2. Three blood colts in the longs and one in a leg. I was barely
walking, to say nothing of shortness of breath. I have smoked for 60yrs. In all my 81 years never had any other
health problems. Just think, I probably would have lived to 100 and still active. So, use the 'patch'' and quit, please.

Best wishes for a smooth recovery. I'm glad you got medical care in time to prevent further complications.

It killed several people I know...

I wish you continued healing.

Thanks. I really missed RE-forums. But I lost the cognitive ability to respond or for that matter to use my computer at all.

I'm so sorry! Glad you are now recovering. Smoking is a very difficult addiction to break. May you be happy and healthy moving forward.

I’m sorry that you went through all of that. Your urgent appeal for people to quit smoking is very benevolent.

It’s wonderful that you’ve never had any other health problems in your long life.

Be well.
