hey there,
another way to stop is fear (don't think that i am some psycho, just hear me out)
i am 16 years old and am having to watch my grandma die from emphysema. all of those years of smoking has made her lungs little lumps of in her chest. she lays in bed saying "please help me, i can't breath" how do u think that makes me feel? knowing that she can't be helped and if she would have stopped smoking she would be at home right now enjoying her life. instead she is fighting for her life in a hospital as her body slowly shuts down. a normal body gets a rating of 100 for the amount of oxygen in the blood, right now she is sitting at around 70 a far cry from healthy, don't u think? just stop smoking.....i know it is gonna be hard. but, damn think about the rest of your life.
i know that i am still a child and am not a smoker or anything.......but i feel that i have a pretty good idea of what i am talking about
please head my warning
take care of yourself
