Last few months have been decreasing to about 2/ 3 per day and last week decided that was it. Read up side effects on internet not only it kills you slowly and painfully but destroys your skin gives you lines and turns you into a cigarette. When I read there was rocket fuel in cigarettes to keep it burning it finished me off. I am not using patches or anything, I am starting to throw myself in to sport have been doing gym for 2 years but will now start running every day and try to regain health inside and out.

Will not crack on this, my dearest friend died of cancer 2 weeks ago not smoke related but there again it gave me a jolt to think i am throwing away my life on cigarettes and paying to die and she so desperately wanted to live.

In years to come the human race will look back on smoking as a totally mad habit and will not understand how people did it. More control should be made to stop tobacco companies exploiting youth.Not ever going back to smoking and sending this mail will help to stick to it. Good luck to all those people coming to their senses.
