No I didn't manage to quit but I have no choice now.  Cardiologist even said my hubby has to quit because of second hand smoke.

My hubby said he would.....first time he's willing to try.  He got quite a scare.

My pharmacist will let me and my body get over the shock it just went through and then will look into supporting us to quit smoking. In the meantime, I am trying to reduce the number of smokes I have per day.  It's difficult....I enjoy smoking.

I was lucky it was mild and that I listened to the paramedic to go to the hospital (he was cute too lol) and that they stopped me from leaving the hospital.  If I would have stayed home or left, the next one (as there would have been another) would most likely have caused damage or been fatal.

This was a shock (I am too young to get this, I was the youngest patient in the cardiology ward) and a huge warning.

Yes use it to your advantage. I was around 11 when I started smoking and my whole family smoked, I would get through 40 a day and have smoked some odd things in my life 

I tried a few times to give up and failed, but one day money was tight and my Dad died after suffering with COPD for a few years. It encouraged me to have another go, it was hard but in the end I would say it was worth it.

Keep well.
