Well I'm here in my usual drunken state which I don't really mind but...I found out today that my mum is in a real bad state through her lungs. She can't smoke anymore and I think I'm quitting soon. :shocking:

    Well she doesn't have cancer or nothing but the doctor said she has to quit now or else, she coughs up all the time. I'm only young myself but I know I have to quit to give support for my mum like. I gave her £100 tonight like.

    Sorry to hear that mate... I swear my mum should do the same! She sounds terrible sometimes, its worrying.

    I'm in the middle of giving at the moment, I didn't want to go cold turkey though, so I have managed to cut myself down to 2 a day so far!

    Anyway, I wish you mum all the best fella... hope it all works out!

    That's horrible, mate.

    My mother smokes like a chimney too (well not THAT bad, but enough, for a long enough time already). I'm proud of my father that he managed to quit.

    It might be an asshole-ish thing to say, but maybe it's just the right motivation to stop with that nasty habit, when you see the results on someone you really care for.

    Good Convalescence to your mother, and good luck with breaking the habit.

    Aww i'm sorry to hear that, however i was confused as to the reasoning behind giving her £100?

    My dad managed to quit smoking too, he smoked 40 a day and went cold turkey one day and never looked back so all you need is the will power, and the added bonus of nicotine pathches that weren't avaliable back then.

    I hope your mum gets better and it's great that she has your support, i'm sure that will help heaps. Good Luck! :)

    All the best to your mum, Turlough, and try not to let it worry you too much (easier said than done of course).

    Here's hoping she'll manage to kick the habit and prevent any further problems.

    My ol dear has always got a nasty smokers cough, she says she'll give up and then not smoke for a day or two but then start again, she will never stop now (she even had a scare not so long ago and went to the hospital) and I hate to say it but it will kill her.
