Congratulations to both of you! It is truly amazing.
My story is similar. I quit analogs after a 40 year habit. It was shocking how easy it was to make the transformation! In addition, my mother (who has copd) has managed to quit smoking as well. Although the damage from copd can't be reversed, it is my hope that its progression has been slowed enough to allow me to have a few more good years with my mother.
I truly know how you feel tigerlily, same with my dad and his emphysema - I want him to be around for my kids to grow up knowing him.
I'm so glad to hear that you've quit, and your mother as well! We can change the world, one PV at a time!!
