Cigarette Smoking

“The last straw was when my daughters tearfully confronted me saying that they didn’t want me to accelerate my own death because they love me and want me around as long as possible. I decided to make quitting a test of my manhood, my dignity, and mostly to show my wife and children that I love them more than I love myself.” 

“The heart attack that followed two months later reaffirmed my decision to never pick up another cigarette. I’d never worried about my health. I saw the warnings but never thought anything would affect me. I was running 7.5 miles each day and felt as fit as a fiddle. I’d always been a typical alpha male, showing off with my fitness and weight, and then at 52 there I was shuffling back to my bed like an 80-year-old. I remember wondering if this was it, and crying and cursing myself because what I was experiencing could perhaps have been avoided  if I’d never smoked.“
