DH asked the cardiologist if smoking caused his heart attack and the doctor said No, but it causes the blood vessels to constrict so it's better not to do it. The doctor had actually been a long-time smoker himself. I think after being in the hospital and not being able to smoke for 13 days he figured he might as well quit. It has saved us a lot of money, as the price really started to climb right after that. I don't know how anyone can afford to smoke today.
You just have to make up your mind not to pick up the next cigarette. It gets easier as time goes on. |
