I use to think it was cool when I was younger, But now that I am older its not so cool any more, I have COPD and have to be on oxygen and cant breath like I use to, I wish I never started the damn things, I still smoke but am setting a quit date, It is a really bad addiction to quit and 7,000 chemicals you are putting in your body, My plan is to excersise every time I want one wear the patch and either get the gum or lozenges because the patch isnt strong enough for me, Drink lots of water and save all my money, I am not going to claim this disease, I am going to beat it, I wish you the best of luck and just keep your hands busy too, Treat yourself good, Reward yourself, Dont let the tobacco ruin your life like it has so many others
