Hey Martin,

Former smoker who quit over 25 years ago. Your hitting it right on the head, your health history is reason enough. In the event no one has told you why (or any one else reading) smoking is bad for you is it's affect on the blood vessels in your body, specifically the heart. It's noit just about the lungs.

It causes the blood vessels to constrict or tighten up. The affect this has on your heart when these vessels become clogged with the sludge of life (fat - or plaque) it causes an already shrunken oxygen delivery system to shut down all together and then deprive the heart muscle of oxygen...which = death of heart muscle cells or a Heart attack (MI =Myocardial Infarction.)

Diabetes has some bad affects on the heart in terms of blood vessel damage as well. It may well be the toughest thing you could ever do to quit, but you really need to because the alternatives are far worse, you die, or become a cardiac cripple who can no longer do any thing.

I have no doubt you are surrounded by a bunch of wonderful people that want you around. Find the strength to make it happen, Smoking is bad, and it will kill you. Do whatever it takes. Don't matter how many times, do what ever it takes.

Hypnosis worked for me.
