I smoked for thirty years before attending a smoking cessation program at a local hospital. My final cigarette was March 5, 1990. No cigarettes since but I will confess to inhaling deeply when near a smoker, but only in the first couple of years. sbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07272573572306955089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-11496357223366592842016-04-05T09:54:33.343+01:002016-04-05T09:54:33.343+01:00So sorry that you lost your father and almost a hu...So sorry that you lost your father and almost a husband through smoking Donna.

I gave up cigarettes one morning in 1967 and never wanted one from that moment. I used to eat too much chocolate but hardly eat it at all now. Thankfully, though I have many flaws, addiction isn't one of them. As for Eastenders?

My father died from throat cancer due to smoking and my husband had a stage 4 base of tongue cancer from smoking. He made it but radiation on the throat cooks the tissue and today he can barely eat or swallow and had to get a feeding tube. One thing we learned during treatment is that the amount a smoker smokes isn't as damaging as the length of time a smoker smokes. Just saying if anyone out there is still smoking. And yes, I smoked pot for several years during my hippie days, but finally gave it up.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-81008951995051076782016-04-04T22:21:08.033+01:002016-04-04T22:21:08.033+01:00Mr Coppa and Mr Gregg are both victims of the toba...Mr Coppa and Mr Gregg are both victims of the tobacco industry but at least Mr Gregg has broken the habit.

I always shudder in horror when I visit hospital and see people who are obviously quite ill sitting outside so that they can smoke. Even the smell these days if off-putting isn't it?<br />As to addictions. In the far distant past I used to nibble my nails. How did I manage to stop? I used clear nail varnish so that each time I put the nail anywhere near my mouth I caught sight of the shiny finish - I think that stopped me, But really any addiction is hard to bear - but the feeling when you have beaten it is a good one.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-18127713051291930042016-04-04T16:47:12.054+01:002016-04-04T16:47:12.054+01:00I smoked for a few years in my late teens, but was...I smoked for a few years in my late teens, but was never a very heavy smoker and quitting wasn't too bad. I quit when I was 22 and had a bad case of bronchitis that landed me in the hospital. When I got out I had been too sick to think of a cigarette for a week so it seemed wise to not start back up. I'm glad I didn't. <br /><br />As you know, Gregg had stage 3 lung cancer almost 5 years ago. He's EXTREMELY lucky to still be alive and well. But he lost his left lung, which is a steep price to pay for a smoking habit. And even after all that, it was difficult for him to quit. Smoking is a terrible addiction! But 5 years on and he's cancer free and a non-smoker. <br /><br />Please, anyone reading this who smokes, QUIT! If not for your own sake then for the sake of the people who love you. I promise you that the risk isn't worth it.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12512800812290518552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-89738089537168488812016-04-04T14:56:21.770+01:002016-04-04T14:56:21.770+01:00The closest thing I've had to an addiction is ...The closest thing I've had to an addiction is coffee, and even that I think of as more a habit than anything. I haven't tested myself in a while, but I think I could give it up if required -- but I would miss it. Fortunately I never started smoking.<br /><br />As for East Enders, it's funny how sometimes we just hit a wall. I've done that with favorite shows, too.
