Smokers and drinkers……do you regret trying your first alcohol or cig? Why and how old were you?
Idk why I asked this, just seeing how many people who drink and/or smoke actually regret it and know/understand what it’s doing to their bodies.
Smoking=Depression, fatigue, headache, restlessness, irritability
Alcohol=Increased risk of cancer, arthritis, heart disease, hyperglycemia, kidney and liver disease, nervous disorders and obesity.
I can’t believe anyone would drink or smoke with all those awful things that could happen as a result X_X
When I say “drinking” or “smoking” I meant tobacco/alcohol abuse, not just regular drinking or a few cigs every so often. Sorry for the confusion.
By the way, thanks to everyone who answered
I was probably 15 or so when I smoked my first cigarette. I really didn’t think about it much since I thought I was cool. So stupid and naive.
I regretted it many times in my life, but the worst time was when I woke up from my liver transplant and had a ventilator hooked up to a tracheotomy in my throat and found out I had been in a drug induced coma for 3 weeks because they could not take me off the vent. Even though I had quit smoking 2 years before my transplant and the lung doctor gave me the OK to get a transplant, it still affected me very much in my breathing.
If anyone had been in my shoes and had to lay in bed hooked up to a vent for a month, had a trach for 6 weeks all because of smoking, they would quit immediately. Forgot to mention that during that time, my hands were tied down to the bed the whole time so I couldn’t pull any tubes out. I was in the hospital for 63 days when it should have been less than 2 weeks because of my smoking history. I also had pneumonia twice while I was there and had to have tubes inserted into my back to drain the fluid. Very painful.
I haven’t smoked in almost 6 years now and am doing very good now. My breathing is great and I will never pick up another cigarette. I really loved to smoke. I’m not going to lie and say I now hate the smell of cig smoke because I don’t. I still love it, but I will never touch one again since I hate what it does.
