If you smoke stop now

Hope that you recover fully. I stopped after smoking for 35 years and it is only now that I wish I really had never started. Haven't smoked for 8 years now but still worry occasionally about the effects it may have had.
 
Wow a heart attack at 39 not a good sign for the future IMO, :( Just stay off the Cigarettes and keep a healthy diet and exercise regularly.
 
Sorry to hear it McManicMan, at least you got a warning shot across the bow. I'm sure many here know of the 'it'll never happen to me' mentality that resulted in you continuing to smoke, i know i do. Keep it up, quitting isn't actually as hard as many make out, you just need a good reason to do so and lets be honest, you have a hell of a good reason now.
 
wow, one thing that I have never done is smoked, only had 2 cigs in my life, it really is a pointless and deadly addiction.

Hope you get better soon.
 
Sorry to hear that mate. Glad you survived :)

This happened to my Dad. We've had several scares since and a lot of trouble.

My advice is to stick with rehab for as long as possible, and get into a fitter and healthier lifestyle if you want to see the littluns grow for as long as possible :D

Good luck and get well!

Ant :cool:

I had some 12 year old girl approach me for fags the other day. Easy to say no as I don't smoke, therefore don't carry any.

But I see that all those millions spent on educating kids are doing precisely... nothing.

Yeah, doesn't matter how well educated or smart people are there is some natural thing in their heads that makes them do the wrong thing. :confused:

"I know it's wrong but I'll do it anyway"

Close call there mate.

Think of what you can do with all the money you're going to be saving :) How much is a pack of 20 now? even if it's 6 quid that's nigh on £2200 a year assuming 20 a day.
 
You cant make people stop by telling them how bad it is for them. I reckon that almost everyone knows that smoking is bad for you but they still do it. Same with diet, exercise and alcohol. Smoking is just the one that its really easy to ****. Everyone who doesnt smoke says oh its a filthy habbit, you shouldnt do that, its bad for you. What about alcohol, that isnt good for you but its acceptable. How many times have you seen someone arrested for smoking and disorderly.

If people want to smoke then let them, we shouldnt shove it down their throat because we dont like it. Its hippocritical and everyone knows what you say is true so at the end of the day they are ignoring you. Good on them I say. Stop trying to tell everyone what they should do with their lives, let them kill themselves if they want to.

Shame their foul stench gets everywhere.
 
Hope you get better soon ... I stopped a few weeks ago and feel much better for it :) I only smoked about 6 years but still long enough!

I feel much better than before, and have a great sense of taste + smell :)
 
Have to agree about the stopping smoking as I have to go into Blackpool Victoria next week for a triple bypass due to the fags.
