Lisa,
It is one of the toughest things you can do. When you are trully ready to quit, that is when you will and no one can tell you to do it. It has to be your decision. I quit smoking over 30 years ago. When I quit, it was cold turkey and it worked for me. No, it was not easy, as I was a very heavy smoker.
I know what happened to Brad could happen to anyone who smokes. My sister, Joy was a smoker. She was the picture of health. Anyone who met her, was struck by her outgoing personality. She had a good job, many friends and a loving family. At age 50, she started not feeling well (very unusual for her as she was so active and never sick.) Over the course of just a couple of months she felt worse and worse. After many tests, she found out she had lung cancer. She finally was diagnosed while in the hospital. She never made it home. She died 5 weeks after her diagnosis. This was 10 years ago and we still have trouble believing it could happen that quickly.
