November 4, 201510 yr Dealing with lung cancer, throat cancer, and a lot of other cancers Recovering from your chemotherapy treatments Living without a hand or leg or other body parts Hiding your missing or brown teeth with your hand when you smile Dealing with gum disease and heart disease Keeping that oxygen bottle next to you where ever you go Sneaking a smoke at work when smoking is not allowed and then getting fired when caught Trying to find a new job but companies don't like smokers Being alienated from people and an outcast in society The panic of looking for cigarettes when the stores are closed and you have none Looking in to the eyes of loved ones watching you cough for 5 minuets Being poor as you spend your money on cigarettes and health insurance Trying to take a deep breath because your lungs are not working correctly Fighting off colds and feeling sick all the time Dealing with a sore throat every day even in the summer Clearing your throat every couple of minuets every hour every day Hiding that chimney smell from others that don't smoke Dealing with you looking older then you are Freezing your butt off to go outside to light up Making excesses for not getting it up Buying cloths to replace the ones with burn holes in them Making extra trips to the dentist for one thing or another Trying to find hotels that allow smoking Being confined to a wheel chair or bed Trying to find products to help whiten your teeth that are left Being scared to go anywhere that doesn't allow smoking Not being invited to go places with friends who don't smoke Not wanted around friends with children Missing out on a lot of things life has to offer Dying before your time Quitting smoking is not as hard as .......................
November 4, 201510 yr Quitting Smoking is not as hard as...... Learning to juggle Solving a Rubin's cube ..... I jest but seriously..... Being ashamed of yourself every single day Suffering from ever lower self esteem Thinking every new ache/pain/twinge is a sign of cancer Feeling guilty for smoking near your children Wondering if seeing you smoke will set your children up for the same torment Trying to take up running and realising that you can't breathe with seconds Laying awake at night hating yourself for not quitting
November 4, 201510 yr Quitting smoking is not as hard as.... Having someone shower and dress you ....take you to the bathroom.....because you carnt breath Spending weeks...even months in hospital with pneumonia. Watching your grown up daughter crying...and begging you to quit... Lying to the people you love the most.... Carrying a oxygen tank on your back...having to sleep hooked up to a oxygen machine.. Being housebound...because you carnt walk... Being told you WILL lose limbs.if you don't quit...
