I gave up smoking over five years ago now but it still has not stopped me from getting emphysema i can't prove it is smoking related but it has taken 5 years to surface,
I also get recuring plurisy which each time seems to get worse infact i have just come out of hospital today after the antibiotics and steriods that my doctor prescribed did not seem to work this time, The hospital has put me on 2 types of stronger antibiotics as well as steroids this time.
I am getting some strange feelings in my body but relize that i must carry on with this course of treatment.

So to your that say you cant stop smoking STOP now before it is to late seek help if you have to it is avalibale to you all.
This disability will affect me for the rest of my life,
and it aint fun i can assure you.

You know,I don't understand all the negativity of the answers to this question.This person is trying to help people understand some of the terrible effects of smoking.Yes,there are people who get cancer and other illnesses that don't smoke (and that is tragic),but there are a great many people who get illnesses from smoking.This advice may or may not help you quit,but I believe that if this helps even one person decide to quit,it is well worth it.Thanks for sharing your experience,and good luck!

Let's all blame smoking for everything forever and ever a-men. In the USA we have 300,000, 000 people and 300,000 die from every classification of heart disease and cancer in a year. Most of these are OLD. It is such a small figure comparatively, that all this hype on smoking is just that HYPE. Let's pick something or someone to blame for everything we as individuals do not want blamed on us. Well Whoop Dee Do. Blaming smoking does not cut it if you think for just one minute. That is not to say that it did not have some effect on your problem as one causitive, but one of many, One factory in your town puts more smoke in you than every smoker in the US as they are spread farther and combined may just make the equivilent of one factories' smoke. I am really sorry for your problems and would help you if I could as no one should suffer what you go through. But I can't accept that smoking is the cause; when common sense says - no it isn't. It is a very very very small part as one of multiple causes. Busses anyone. Private jets anyone. Limo's anyone. And the new figures show libs will give nothing to help you - Nothing.

No yet easily it has to help. i'll't believe there is not any info to indicate passive smoking is risky, how can it no longer be?! it really is the same smoke that those who smoke inhale, except and not using a filter out! Why else ought to there be a lot suggestion and warnings adverse to smoking round little ones? it really is passive smoking! The smoking in pubs no longer purely makes me experience (marginally) extra secure yet is likewise way nicer, you do not come abode stinking of smoke, or have someone by threat stub a cigarette on your pores and skin or your clothing. proper element this authorities has finished in case you question me!!

Alot of people who don't smoke and the people who quite smoking .needs to stop telling those who smoke to quite. the more people who tell me to. the more i smoke. its up the the person themselves if they want to quit. we all now the risk of smoking. but my way of thinking is you only live once so you might as well enjoy it. my dad died of cancer and didn't smoke a day in his life. so i feel you can get cancer from anything.
