    Hi I stopped smoking the day before my hysterectomy & (so far) I'm doing well!!!!  Putting weight on obviously but so what !!

  • Also a good question to put up in the Lung Cancer Forum.

    Hi 

    my friend’s mother died of lung cancer 21 years ago. A lifelong smoker, she wasn’t about to let a little thing like lung cancer get in the way. Her standard answer to those who challenged her on her habit was “what’s it going to do? Kill me?”

    Good point my mum said the same, I'm just gauging attitudes but know I've gotta give the smokes up soon :)
