week past her forty-sixth birthday, my dad when he was 59, my mother's father from lung disease

, when he was 62, her brother in 60 years and her sister in her 50th. So why do I continue to smoke? Because I was smarter than they are, they have no

choking and gasping for breath, she opened her mouth wider and wider, trying to get a little more >> << air, until finally dies. Not so with emphysema, it takes a long time! I started smoking back in the 50s and smoked until February seventeenth in 1995

I'm here in '40 + later, and can not walk around the room, grabbing not breath! There is never a moment that I do lasix 14 mg not feel pain, and YES! YES! they

United States must pay! Do not managers or whoever, they are not those

(E104) Hi, >> << I was pleased with the information on the Internet. Yes, I would like to share my >> << history and history of my late father. My father started smoking when he was 14 years. He raised tobacco in Kentucky

as a child with his father and how an adult with my help. My father smoked

, least three packs of Pall Mall daily from as far as I can remember. I

smoke as a teenager for a couple of times to be in the group, but he always

me sick. In 1967 I joined the Navy to avoid my project including to keep

Army. While in Boot Camp if you do not smoke you will not get a break. Thus, for

break from work, cleaning the barracks, showers, etc. I joined the crowd smoking >>. << You really should not smoke, but being in a room with 80 other guys >> << smoke without ventilation was sure fix. Once, when in camp I was caught in a match to watch >> inspection. << Another young man was on his cigarette. Aisle company

word in the system barracks sound that he wanted at least a pack

from each smoker in the barracks. This barn was four floors of the

least 80 people on each floor. They responded to bring

Cigarettes offer Utah, where another young man, and I watch

stand. CDR is open each packet and poured them on the table >> << room 6h8 meters. He placed two chairs at the table and two lighters Zippo

. Then he forced me and this guy go and gave us 20 minutes to burn ever

cigarettes on the table. After 20 minutes we both were on the verge of vomiting, and our eyes where on fire, and

as our mouth. The smoke was so thick that none of us could not even see each other

, . Well, you think it will either stop smoking permanently. Wrong,

it just made me get into the hands of nicotine dependence. I continued to smoke >> << to 1974. My doctor showed me a copy of my lungs. They were black as coal >>. << I had chest pain and went himself to see. At that time I was involved in church pastor wanted to work on

bus ministry. For this I must be smoking. So it all together with

my wife on me constantly to stop I'm on the way to do it. I quit smoking

least 100 times in five years. So I really still smoke

until about 1979/80. I finally managed to quit using smokeless tobacco

. I smoked three packs of Marlboro a day. I started using bank

Skoal day. I did this until 1995. When I finally found my hiding my drug nicotine is as bad as >> << alcoholic, I worked with hid their alcohol .. Thus, with a large >> << prayers and help of the Lord I did not use tobacco now

for 3 years. BUT, I now use no tobacco and mint make this as much as can >> week. << Thus, psychological dependence is still alive and well in my body. I know

today that if someone tied me is Marlboro cigarette in mouth, and I

got a nibble her I would like to box, when they cut me loose. I am an alcoholic (22 years for one day at a time). It was ten times

difficult for me to stop using nicotine than was alcohol. My alcoholism

was in full swing when I left (I could and did drink a box of beer and 1/5 >> << Rum almost daily). If I did not have money or not to take it

from you, I would drink wine. Now my dad. After I threw the (non), not nicotine, but my family thought that

quit smoking completely, I began to preach to my dad. He told me that he could

leave at any time he wanted. Well, it happened in 1981. He was a rollback in

his hospital room with tubes in both lungs, emphysema, three

bypass valve, oxygen mask on his face. My brother and I stood at the foot of his bed and he reached in his bedside table

, took a pack of cigarettes. Then he removed the mask

and rozchavyv cigarette in his hand and threw them to the fact that few forces

it to Mike and I. Stating how cigarettes were in flight, I told you I could get >> << at any time I wanted. He lived until 1995. His death was due

tobacco as his lungs were so consumed with nicotine they will receive

holes in them, and he finally died they just be flat with holes in them. Now I have six children and two of them smoked, my 24-year old boy

and my third son 20 years of age. Can not see any harm that he will

them. Please keep messages flowing, if we save one person from this terrible disease

/ death it will be worth it all. Sincerely, Robert W
