Post Need help quitting smoking

I am 25 years old and I am trying to quit smoking before I develop cancer or some other disease. Please tell me why I should quit. Tell me what will happen if I don't. I want to become a healthy person but I am struggling. I need your help.

Thanks,
Erin

Hi, I can understand your need to give up smoking. You should try a smoking cessation clinic, they're really good with plenty of moral support. You can also keep visiting this board and reading all the sad messages from people who are having to watch their loved ones die from lung cancer. It's heartbreaking, and a very good eye opener. Please try your hardest to give up. Good luck, Ann.

So you need reasons to quit..... here are some.....

Do you want to be at your son's or daughters wedding??
Do you want to see your children grow up??
Do you want your wife, or others to watch you die a horrible death?
Do you want to basically sufficate to death?
Do you want to cough up a lung?

See the doctor and get some support!!! But remember, you will not quit unless you are really ready to quit.

I have watched my mother die, my children watched her die..... My life was put on hold for over a year, while I traveled to see her. I missed important steps with my eldest. My eldest says she lost her second bestest friend.

Good luck, hope these are reason's enough.

Very well said LeisaH. I couldn't have put it better myself. Like the words of the song....You have to be cruel to be kind....... Short, sharp, shock treatment can go a very long way, let's hope Erin heeds your warning. Best wishes, Ann.

There's one other area on the Health Boards that you should check out; it's called "Smoking Cessation" and I'm betting there are alot of folks there who are well qualified to help you!
