I smoked too. Now just vape. Yea, I know. Not the best choice, but coughing up phlegm is gone. Patrick smoked quite a bit I believe. Sorry to hear you lost friends due to smoking. My oldest sister had heart surgery and she smokes those "natural" Indian cigarettes thinking they are healthy. Let her have more heart surgery. I am done with talking to her about it.
I drink maybe one or two Corona's a week (it was my joke a couple of years ago with all this covid crap, I'd tell people that, Yea, I have the Corona. Corona Extra). Thats all my body can handle. Back in the day, I was a real party girl. The body now says, You're restricted, Honey!
Only you can determine to quit smoking, or anything else.No vape, pills, gum, patches. When you decide to get serious you can do it . Mind over matter. I can't stand the smell of smoke after 25 years of being smoke free.
When I'm ready. I don't like smoke either, its an addiction. It smells up my house and car then you have to worry about hot ashes burning your skin, furniture, or clothes. I did quit eating my Reeses' peanut butter cups, Dark Chocolate. That one was hard. And I no longer buy ice cream.
Addiction is difficult. It requires mental toughness which one must develop on their own. Personally I don't believe any of the previous crutches do anything except develop more dependencies. Cold Turkey reality is you can do it if you truly desire. Good luck the benefits of health are enormous compared to black lung.
Fran: Patrick Swayze was a lifetime smoker. Those cigarettes killed three of my best friends at the age of 49.
Sure, I drink light beer and my liver suffers but the liver can and does heal itself. The lungs and heart don't.
