She was even in the ICU due to pneumonia (sp?) for 2 weeks, went without smoking that entire time and began again when she went home. I wish I could record her & send it to all of you smokers, I promise you would quit after seeing that.

I agree, Heidi
. My uncle is a HUGE smoker, and it's so sad to hear him wheezing all the time. My grandpa used to be a smoker, too, and that was a factor in his death, too

Anyway, I hope you guys stop soon just for the sake of your health (and others around you).
OTW, maybe you should tell your dr. that you want to stop but don't know how? That seems like a great first step
. Good luck, girl, I know you can do it!!!
