[size=4][b]Chronic Bronchitis - Why and How I Quit Smoking[/b][/size][hr]
Quote:Don't remember the day I started smoking, but I do remember why. My husband smoked. When we kissed, he tasted like a full ashtray smells. I started smoking so that that wouldn't bother me so much, but I knew better.

[size=large][b]Don't Remember the Day I Started Smoking, but I'll Never Forget the Day I Stopped[/b][/size][hr]On June 2, 1986, I dumped the worst habit I have ever had. Was it worth it? You bet. I no longer have pneumonia every year. Though bronchitis still bothers me on occasion, and I have chronic asthma, most of the time I can breathe without trouble. Best of all, my husband quit, too, within a month of the date that I quit. We have had a smoke free home for more than 20 years, and we have both benefitted from it.

[size=large][b]Soon, Clothes With Tiny Circles Burned Into the Fabric Became the Norm[/b][/size][hr]I couldn't breathe easily if I walked further than out to my car. I couldn't play ball with my children; I didn't have the breath. Many times I decided to quit. And I would, for two or three hours. By the end of the second year, I had had three bouts of pneumonia. There has been a gradual introduction to the world of Bronchitis projected in this article. We had done this so that the actual meaning of the article will sink within you.

[size=large][b]Was Terrified[/b][/size][hr]If I had not wakened from the smell of burning fabric, I might have died, or at least been badly burned. The new skirt I was wearing had eight holes burned through it. The folds of fabric had protected my skin until I awoke. When I realized that I had risked my life, and ruined a brand new skirt, anger replaced the terror I felt--anger at myself. Our objective of this article on Chronic Bronchitis was to arouse your interest in it. Bring back the acquired knowledge of Chronic Bronchitis, and compare it with what we have printed here.

[size=large][b]All Through High School, P.E[/b][/size][hr]And health teachers preached the deleterious effects of tobacco smoke on the body. Television, newspapers, magazines, doctors, and the Surgeon General all reported that cigarette smoking caused cancer, emphysema, and many other health problems. I didn't need to hear or read their stories. Both my parents have smoked since their teens. I saw firsthand what smoking does to the smoker.

[list][*]After smoking for five years, I thought I was doomed to be a lifetime smoker just like my parents.[*]Then something frightening happened.[*]I fell asleep in my chair with a lit cigarette in my hand.[*]Unlike many others who died after they went to sleep with a burning cigarette, I was fortunate.[*]I wasn't hurt.[*]Not physically, anyway.[*]We were a bit tentative when embarking on this project on Chronic Bronchitis.[*]However, using the grit and determination we have, we have produced some fine reading material on Chronic Bronchitis. [*]After gathering all the cigarettes I had, I went to the kitchen and carefully destroyed each one, then dropped it into the trash can.[*]By evening I was suffering, but I refused to buy more.[*]Later, I learned my brother-in-law had just quit smoking.[*]He told me to buy salted, roasted sunflower seeds in the shell.[/list]

[size=large][b]Learning to Smoke Was Difficult for Me[/b][/size][hr]I had so many reasons not to, that I really had to push to get it done. After years and years of second hand smoke exposure, my health began to deteriorate immediately. By the end of the first year, I had chronic bronchitis. Cigarettes became a crutch. If life was stressful, I smoked. If I was ill, I smoked. If everything was great, I smoked. My habit was so bad, I couldn't drive down the street or cook a meal without smoking. The first thing I did in the morning was light a cigarette. The last thing I did at night was put one out. Using the intuition I had on Bronchitis, I thought that writing this article would indeed be worth the trouble. Most of the relevant information on Bronchitis has been included here.

[size=large][b]"Suck the Salt Off and Spit Out the Seeds," He Said[/b][/size][hr]"Salt cuts the craving for nicotine." It worked. For six weeks, I carried sunflower seeds around with me. Anytime I started to crave a cigarette, I popped four or five sunflower seeds in my mouth. The times I felt foolish for constantly having sunflower seeds in my mouth, I would just remember the new skirt I had thrown away. Don't misunderstand. Quitting cigarettes was the hardest thing I ever did, but I was more determined than I had ever been.
