Retirement

 

Guy was 60 died yesterday. Pack of smokes next to him. Wife came home to find him. No reported health problems but like most smokers hasn't been to doctor on years. Retired three years. We help with all the calls. Medical examiner didn't care about much after hearing 60 and smokes.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome - and other digestive malfunctions

 

That is real talk.

For some (like me), smoking causes you to feel ashamed of yourself. You know it's a dirty, nasty habit, so you try to hide it from those who "don't know."

Bad skin, since quitting my skin is so much better, more colour and smoother.

 

Also, no bags under my eyes

My wife suffered terribly with IBS... and my smoking always made it worse.  But I would still subject her to it when I smoked in the car... but, it's OK, because I blew it out the window, right...?!

 

I did say that smoking makes you selfish!

Worsening RLS.  I suffer with restless leg syndrome and smoking does make this worst.  In the last few months I have found I was able to lower some my medication.

I suffer from this too Sandy.  But I usually do not notice when I do it, or I do it in my sleep.  I am going to ask my wife if she thinks it has improved or not...

Horrible things for diabetics like amputation

removal of voice box

worsening of retinopathy in the eyes

lack of oxygen

high blood sugar numbers

Smoking causes you to miss out on the quit train....and make great friends.....x

Bad manners without knowing how offensive smell is.

Smelly breath even If you brushed.

The constant worry that on your next chest x-ray they will find cancer.

the constant wheezing that your future holds you carrying oxygen everywhere you go

Me too. But then I've already had that drugged into meager twitching. Will ask my husband, though.

Fingers falling off in the cold from fumbling with a lighter in minus 40 weather plus wind chill. Transitional cell carcinoma, as well. What joy.

Those red, dry eyes that I used to blame on a combination of allergies and contact lenses cleared right up after I quit smoking.

 

Five years quit now, and I no longer have issues with my eyes.
