I sincerely hope you can do it, no matter how or what it takes, some people can smoke til they are 100 and others just succumb to the effects.
My father has been in the hospital 2 weeks now, asthma attack, and also monitoring his heart, asthma is clearing up but the heart is taking a beating, he's never had an attack, but they are very cautious.
He used to smoke, maybe 20 years, not real heavy, but did quit in the late 70's, short of breath. The COPD/respiratory issues he is dealing with is totally disabling, if he did not have health benefits he would be dead, a long time ago. The problems that stem from his breathing issues stops him in his tracks, the ambulance and paramedics saved him again, he may have suffocated if we brought him, they have the equipment on board, and know his situation, and were there in 5 minutes. Time is of the essence.
Fast forward to his age or down the road, can you imagine how disabled you could be from this ? Everyone is different, but my neighbor across the road used to smoke pall mall non filter, and did body work besides mechanical work, he subject himself to some bad things in the air besides smoking, and for quite awhile was gasping for air, after he quit, been to the doctor for treatment, rehabilitation, he is doing a lot better, but will never be the same, does not have the "wind" anymore.
My mother smokes like a feign, spends a mortgage payment on it, and absolutely will not quit, won't talk about it, won't reconsider it, no way shape or form. She sits in a room brown from years of smoke (tar) and puffs them down like her life depends on it. The room is so rank, I cannot walk in there, its terrible. She likes to think its not hurting her, she still goes to the Y everyday, a retired Phys. Ed teacher, but she has an awful cough. Physically she is in good shape, but the aging those cigarettes have done to her, the cough, and I swear, she comes out of that room in a haze, trouble remembering things, you'd swear she's smoking the other stuff in there.
In summary, the I've come to grips with the fact that asthma/copd and its effects on my dads heart is going to get him someday, he's been great about dealing with it, my mother is playing russian roulette with cigarettes, she's survived cancer too, just a matter of time. Now whether cigarettes contributed to my fathers situation is hard to say for sure, but it seems cigarettes are a major contributor to their demise and much reduced quality of life, both are in their 70's
You at 47, with Emphasyma do everything you can to stop and recover.
I hate mass produced cigarettes worse than a thief, they are one of the most evil substances on this planet besides heroin and cocaine.
What I hate the most is the addiction, those companies make a product that people like my mother are so addicted, there is no way out, I defy anyone here or in this world to get her to stop, its just not going to happen, that is the product you are dealing with. Not only during the day, she gets up 1 time every hour to smoke a cigarette, every night, everyday. The only time she has ever stopped, just briefly, was while in the hospital, cause they won't allow it. Hate the darned things, they are good for nothing, those mass produced sawdust/formaldhyde cancer sticks !!!

Today's Featured Article - Good As New - by Bill Goodwin. In the summer of 1995, my father, Russ Goodwin, and I acquired the 1945 Farmall B that my grandfather used as an overseer on a farm in Waynesboro, Georgia. After my grandfather’s death in 1955, J.P.
