I was having a chat with hubby,s carer this morning...

She told me her Mum has cancer of the mouth, which has spread to her jaw bone...This coming week,she will have a operation to remove half of her tongue,and some of her jaw bone ...replacing it from bone from her leg...

I say...please tell me she has quit smoking now....

Not at all she told me ..

I could smell stale smoke on her breath too...

I just found this very sad...they both still believe all the lies surrounded by smoking.....

Very sad

I've lost two friends to cancer of the mouth. It's a horrible cancer to have. Both of them had so many procedures done, including removing parts of their tongues,  to try to stop it and both ended up succumbing to it ?

I still remember well visiting my grandfather in hospice care.  Seeing a man I loved dearly at the end of the line, succumbing to cancer after years of smoking.  First thing I did when I stepped outside: light up a cigarette.

 

Addiction is insidious.

The fear of being without nicotine is greater than the fear of losing body parts or even life for some.  I wonder if the real fear is that they can succeed in quitting smoking.  I sometimes see smokers and want to tell them, "quit - don't be afraid, it won't hurt you."

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
