I smoked for more then 35 years. Back in 2006 my , then 4 year old , son and i made a promise to each other.
He stops with his "soother" which he in his mouth the whole day and i had to stop smoking.
I took the drug Zyban and after 3 to 4 months i could come through the day easily with out smoking.
One year later they discovered a malignant kidney cancer which has spread to my femur bone in my body and i was happy that i stopped the bad habit.
After 2 times 7 hours of surgery you benefit from the fact that you don't smoke after the long anesthetics.
It's a bad habit which doesn't bring you the pleasure of smoking a good tasting cigarette after you smoked for several years anymore.
For me the fear of the possibility that the cancer may show up in my lungs stops me from taking a cigarette.
Carpe Diem
