I have stopped smoking 2 months now-I have been through a hurrendous time but now starting to feel the benefit of it,I am 52 years old and dont want to patronise anybody whats soever .I would just like to say why i stopped and if possible give a little advise.I have tried 4 years to stop but just kept using every excuse i could think of,as you do when you are a smoker.I knew deep down my health was getting worse {breathing wise} but still the excuses came.then one morning i got up breathless and feeling very ill.as it turned out i had got pnuemonia and pluerisy from a chest infection which i took no notice of cause i would rather of ad the smoke.this was my oportunity to stop, i realised you cant do anything when you cant breathe right Please dont think 4 one minute i am a preacher i not.iam just trying to pass on my own experiance and for you 2 to be honest are you in the same position.please stop. if i can any1 can -would b nice 2 know of other people experinces-helps to keep me pos

I am 52 yrs old also and gave up smoking 9 weeks ago, i had an awful cough and wheezing and really thought that it was too late and even giving up wouldnt make me any better, well thankfully i was wrong i can almost run up hill and my cough has gone completely, even ater only 9 weeks, i feel loads better and my skin is glowing, It is very hard to stop smoking but as you say not being able to breath easily is one of the most frightening things.
hope we can both keep it up

There will be opportunities to help others here on Q&A and in your life , encourage them as they arise it is always the very best decision they can make for their own health and for their family. I have been smoke free for over 30 years, yes it was difficult, it is an addiction, but I was successful after many attempts, I am free, and have no desire to ever smoke again thanks be to God.
