You don’t have to spend money on tobacco anymore. Ive seen what a pack costs. Holy ■■■■. I don’t want to talk about my dad really but he smoked himself to death. I believe in you -youll feel so much better. ---

I am so sorry for your dad, you, and the rest of your family. I remember you saying something about that. That’s so horrible. ---

That’s considered early now, but it is retirement age and being a senior. That was life expectancy not too long ago. Whatever day we die is just a day like any other no matter how old we are. Sorry that it is happening, but its got to unfortunately. ---

It only get easier with time. I’m 100% glad ciagarettes are behind me. I never smell like smoke… I’m never forcing myself outside in the hot or cold… Never waking up with a dry throat outside of an occasional illness. Dont have to worry about that black tar. Saved so much money over the last 5 years. Its worth it ---

Headaches, clenching my jaw, tried to watch a movie but couldn’t focus.. I wish I could sleep but I slept the whole darn day. ---

You’re almost there! Just remember that this is toxins leaving your body. You don’t want to be stuck on something that does this to you. ---
