According to my Doctor I don't have COPD, however, I do have bronchitis and asthma.
At the hospital they said I had acute bronchitis while my Doctor insist I have chronic bronchitis. I smoked for 20 years and I'm still smoking. Two weeks ago I had spirometer test (came out ok passing all testings) and an x ray (showing I'm ok), but after helping my brother move and with so much d
ust exposure, now I have difficulty breathing and spitting out white to clear phlegm which don't go away.

Eating/vaporizing works just as good, and tastes just as good. Smoking it is worse than smoking tobacco.

All I can say is please if any of you smoke quit. My mother was diagnosed in 1997 with COPD. She passed away on August 2nd and she had been on a ventilator for the last 2 years and in a special skilled nursing home where she was miserable and depressed. I miss her so much. I loved her so much. So, please again, if you all smoke, please stop.

Mr. Grim,
I understand the fact that you carryout "death" at the appointed time and that it doesn't matter what we do to avoid you, specially when you're doing your job very well as the collector of the end of our dying process. 120,000 daily human deaths must keep you very busy Worldwide and I wonder if yo
u have the time to read this, if you do, I remind you of this: "Where is thy sting?". My destiny is to expire and resurrection, but yours..."destruction". Have a smoke.

Quitting smoking ... ( 4 months ago by argent2020)

Quitting smoking now greatly reduces serious risks to your health.
How about: "Quitting the refineries plants,the chemical plants, the gas
the diesel engines everywhere would certainly, greatly (
very greatly) reduce the risks of injuries to your health".
I like this one: "Staying away from hospitals will greatly reduce the risk of MRSA". Just like Lawyers go to school to learn how to steal, so Doctors go to school to learn how to kill. Someone told me that once.

Smoking explains ... ( 4 months ago by poo72)

Smoking explains about 95 % of COPD. Smoking cessation is one step to more healthy and better life. You are right about staying away from hospitals. In Finland, doctors know the risks of staying too long in a hospital but the patients experience that they were not treated well enough because they were sent home so early.

A few months ago I tried to quick smoking and lasted about a month.
During that month I experienced a significant drop in my blodd pressure, cholesterol and sugar level. Also, I didn't have numbness of arms, hands, legs and feet.
On the other hand, I exprienced panic attacks, sadness without an explanation in which I would cry out of no reason at all, I had trouble sleeping, fear of close spaces (such as being in an elevator), feelings of being pesercuted. Hopeplesness. Cont.

Cont: I had feelings of anger, depression, stress, anxiety (very badly) and wanted to tell someone about this, but for fear of ridicule I didn't until I told a few family members only to hear: "Fuck off!, it's all in your head and stop bullshitting".
It was a weird experience.
I could breath better and even smell things better, but the other effects bothering me so much and seeing my friends smoking made me feel an outcast to the point I resume smoking.
I may try hipnosis next time.

My neighbor had asthma started smoking in the seventh grade. After high school he moved up to five packs a day. By his late thirties he was getting pretty sick and cut down to over two packs a day of filtered cigarettes. He told me the doctor said filters were better but I didn't believe it. Later he switched to "light" cigarettes and went back to chain smoking.
By his mid-forties he in an oxygen tent and buying cigarettes by mail. Today his chest is a medical exhibit.

As a respiritaroy therapist, we see the destruction that COPD causes. Despite the many treatments to tame the effects, nothing works better than stoping smoking now. Trust me, you do not want to go through what so many people go through just to breathe. I feel bad, but the literature is out and we have to make decisions based on that. Even cutting down on smoking is not enough. Cigs burn your cilia, the elevator to remove mucus, that gunk just sits in your lungs and rots and cakes on. Stop now
