My trip down smoking lane.

I know I need to quit smoking. How many more warnings do I need before it becomes too late. I,ve had several bouts of pneumonia and even double pneumonia. I still didn,t stop. I saw a pulmonary specilist, had a CTdone of my lungs and was told I had a mild form of Idiopathatic Pulmonary Fibrosis. I still didn,t stop. I have had a nagging, wet, raspy and productive cough for over 6 months. I,m still puffing away. All of this and I,m a retired nurse. I know better dammit!! Not only am I coughing 24/7, but I,m horribly congested and I,m wheezing like an old freight train. I,ve tried everything. You name it and I,ve tried it. Patches, Pills, gum, staples in my ears, hypnosis, cold turkey, slacking off, everything. Nothing worked for me. If anyone has any other ideas I wish they would enlighten me.
