July 21, 201610 yr >Stopping smoking stops this crippling ilness getting any worse Actually, it *can* still progress even after quitting.It will (likely) slow down progression but for most the disease continues to progress. Just much more slowly. Also - there are plenty of Never Smokers with COPD who die from the progression of the disease. Nothing at all to do with smoking or quitting, and it still progresses to termination. Grim, Sad Truth. Easy Peasy
July 21, 201610 yr Lessons learned from Doreen's life and all QTrains testimonies help to keep me quit. There is no doubt that to some degree, damage has been done. I won't be surprised if I have to really pay for my addiction down the road. The fact that my second hand smoke drifted into my daughter's lungs is a horrible truth. The only sliver lining is that I stopped perpetuating the damage and for that I am grateful.

To able to have quit...and live the rest of my life ,the best possible way I can..smoke free...and a sense of pride...I'm not going to die ..a smoker.. In your face tabacco companies...
July 23, 201610 yr Great video and good information. Sadly, I didn't quit soon enough and it is also true that Sgt. Barney said, it does still progress even when we quit smoking but much, much slower, thank God. I am still grateful that I quit..I would be dead now if I had not quit.
July 23, 201610 yr Author Congrats P having the strength to quit... My husband carried on smoking for another twelve years after being diagnosed..he didn't heed the warnings... He is now on the end stages...which could go on for years... He worked with asbestos too...and has dust on his lungs...a double whammy...

Is that a vintage Fender P Bass in your profile pic? Hard tellin'in the shadow but the headstock looks right. Easy Peasy
July 23, 201610 yr Hi Sgt., no my bass is a vintage Fender Mustang. I like the P bass but the short scale neck is better for me cause I have small hands. I take it your a musician too? :)
July 23, 201610 yr I take it your a musician too? :) Sarge ... noodles around in Phrygian Dominant when he gets the time here and there. Easy Peasy
