I have COPD & want to know if only smoking 5 cigarettes a day is still harmful?

Hi Flossy:

   Sorry, smoking even 1 cigarette is out of the question when you

have COPD.

   Believe me, I tried that route, and I only succeeded in making my

COPD worse.  I smoked for 59 years, and was diagnosed with

COPD approx. 15 years ago.  I continued to smoke.  Oh! I tried

to quit many, many times,  but did not succeed because I thought

I could still smoke a few every day.  I am now 72 years old, and

I use a nebulizer 3 to 4 times a day.   When I was diagnosed, all I used was

Albuterol via MDI.  Fortunately, I do not have to use oxygen.

I finally quit a little over a month ago, and I am hanging in there.

PLEASE,  do yourself and your family and friends a big favor,

QUIT NOW...THIS SITE IS A BIG HELP, AND IF YOU WANT

TO CHAT, I WILL BE HERE FOR YOU.

Good luck and God Bless you,
