I was born (1954) into a family (7 kids+2 adopted out) of smoking parent.
I started at age 11.
Long story short.....our two sisters one 66 passed away last year (6/2023) the other 62 passed away (2/2024). Seven months apart from smoking related COPD.
Shockingly I have COPD also.....Yet I was able to surrender the nicotine over with the guidance of Nicotine Anonymous and my higher power, 19 years ago OR I would have been another.
