CDC: Tips From Former Smokers - Rose H.’s Story 

R.I.P Rose.

😔this just made me cry my eyes out! My father went through this last year. He actually worked at the CDC. He was on Life Support for 2 months for Stage 4 Lung Cancer with a tumor larger than a baseball blocking his airway. He also had COPD & a blood clot in his lungs. He just recently passed away a day after his 63rd bday after months of chemo treatments just to prolong his life a little longer. He put up a good fight. But I cry every day thinking about the pain that he was in. I miss him so much. I just wished he would've stopped. I have never touched a cigarette a day in my life & never will!

I have just finished smoking my last ever cigarette and I'm never going to smoke again

My dad smokes, he has asthma and I never get to see him. He gets really angry. I don’t even remember the last time I saw him. I really miss him

My brother is suffering with stage 4 COPD. We made a short video of him asking people not to smoke. It's called Addiction/ the struggle to quit; that's because even though he is in stage 4 of COPD, he is still fighting against the cravings of nicotine addiction. PRAY FOR US!

I'm so glad that I stopped smoking in 2006 I started at a early age I had the Will power to give up a lot of smokers unfortunately don't have that

she is such a beautiful woman, for someone who has undergone chemo and radiation she looks very well

I am so happy no one smokes in my family but I am really sorry for the people who do

I think she did not survived she died rip rose

It's up to the person

@$*# cigarettes, and the companies that make that crap so addictive! I’m about to lose my mom to stage 4 lung cancer, most likely caused by her smoking a pack a day for 40+ years. She’s the kindest, sweetest person you’d ever want to meet, but just couldn’t kick the habit because of how god awful addictive this garbage is. :’(

My aunt got copd from years of smoking. With a portable o2 tank...she still smoked. I've tried 2 quit...social thing keeps it going

RIP Rose

RIP

;( so sad hope u will get better , people do something wrong in their life and they have to learn to fix it and be responsible for it

Why would you smoke and how long does it take to get cancer from amoking

You know.

I do know

Yet legal

Glad I never started smoking everyone in my house smoked growing up. My parents both smoked from their teens and my brother smoked since he was 15. I tired it a few times but never took liking to it. I think what got me was all the smoke in the house. It was the 1970's smoking in homes, offices, cars was just normal I hated the smoke could not breath. I remember at night in my room I would close my heater vents and put a towel under by door and open my window a fan blow air in so keep the smoke out of my room all of them light up all the time. I hated driving in a car 3 people always smoking I was lucky enough have them crack a window. I remember my father had been in the hospital for some surgery he had a smoking room in the hospital the nurses even smoked in his room. That was early 70's hospitals got rid of all that by the 1980's. My parents they didn't even care that my brother smoked they would buy him a carton when my mother went shopping every week with theirs.

To Robert Langley: where is your comment?

Smoking is always a gamble. My uncle quit smoking in 1985 and died of lung cancer in 2014. His uncle and my great uncle smoked until the day he died, drank regularly, and ate eggs and bacon every day and died of pneumonia at 85. And a great aunt of my wifes quit smoking in her 70’s and lived to be 96.

😯

It's a person's choice

Ya know????

Shouldn't the chemotherapy, the surgery, and all the medicine have helped her live? I'm confused. I thought chemo was supposed to help.

I can't stop. I have been hospitalized for my asthma before I even started smoking. That was when I was 12. Now I'm 18 trying my hardest but failing and I'm scared that I'm not even gonna make it to 20.

Smoking is like needing a soother to suck on. I quit tomorrow. It's a dirty disgusting habit.

I hope God will punish who makes and sells cigarettes amen 🙏🏼

My dad been smoking since he was 13 he's 55 now..smokes a pack and half a day...he has a smokers cough but is alive...so imma keep smoking
