dyldonavich1990 same here im paying for it now and also had a rough childhood
Please get another …
Please get another opinion, I just quit smoking tonight 12-15-09 because of what the doctor told me today. I just hope I don’t get that cancer or any worse than I am now. Its what I replied to LifeisDeep00. But yea you need to ask another doctor about that. My doctor will not even give me something to help me quit, just tells me to just quit smoking, and that they really don’t work anyway, You have to want to quit and that stuff will not work. YOu must want to quit first. Will Power.
I agree with you …
I agree with you there 100%. My doctor tells me to quit smoking, I had chest X-raw two weeks ago, doc told me today 12-15-09 that I am in the early stages of emphysema, I told her if I quit smoking now will it get better, worse or what. She told me that it will not get better because the damage is already done, but she said at least it will not get any worse,,, Is that part true, scared that it still can be worse later, or even get cancer. YOu think I needs 2nd opinion.
Everybody wants to …
Everybody wants to give up but the fact that sometimes other life stresses are a big factor in the process and sway someone to relapse it jus me off that half the doctors who say dont smoke it is killing you actually have never or mayb once tried it.
but what i feel people need is just the support and research in a possitive way to quit.
We all regret …
We all regret smoking the dreaded death stick called THE CIGARRETTE but it is so easy for doctors and friends and family to tell you to stop smoking the words stop smoking is easy to say but not to do i wish to god people would realised that for some not all stopping smoking is so hard specially if u have been smoking for a large amount of years.
Everybody regrets even putting a cig to their mouth but they are so addictive after all stopping smoking is worse than coming of heroin,

I’ve been coughing …
I’ve been coughing up white/clear sputum for a couple of weeks, but there is no blood, and no pain. I am a heavy chewing tobacco user (one time smoker), but haven’t smoked in 8 years or more. Today i’ve been extremely light headed. It scares the out of me that it might be cancer. I do have a feeling of not being able to get enough air, but i also had a pulmonary embolism last november, and have had that symptom since.

I´m 32 and have been a smoker since around 16 yrs old, although never a heavy one, avg 5 or 6 cigarettes a day, but I also feel a little pain in my throat, chest angina and get tired quickly. No major increase in mucus production, but did spit blood due to coughing once about a month and a half ago when my coughing was at its peak. If you read this and smoke, quit man. Quit those cigarrettes. I hope what I have is not irreversible, but there is some damage done. No doubt about that.
I´ve been sick for …
I´ve been sick for around 2 months now. It started as a cough with a lot of phlegm. The cough has mostly receded now, I only cough sometimes when in a place with air conditioning. But I have a lot of strange symptoms like lightheadness, tachycardia , some shortness of breath every now and then, and pain throughout my toraxic area, specially the ribs. It hurts when I cough and sneeze. I´m really worried I might be very sick.

I always here that you will feel tired, how tired do they mean? I also read that you can develope skin rash but can’t find any pictures of what the rash looks like. Can you help. I’ve been to doc and they keep tellin me to wait it out, it should get better on it’s own.
