It appears some people sell them on Ebay.

Good luck if you decide to quit. I'm all for people quitting that habit.

I saw lungs like this (on the right), close up, during a cracked-chest resuscitation attempt. The smell was really bad. It smelled like they were saturated with smoke. I can't stand when my clothes smell like that after I leave a party. I can't imagine lungs constantly filled with that crap.

The Patch will really help keep the "wanting to rip peoples heads off feeling" in control! I am going to quit again here soon. I've already given up beer because of the pain patch I'm on. It makes me fall asleep if I drink more than 2.

The more expensive they get, the more I smoke. Go figure! I've tried to quit several times. I can go for a day or 2, but by the end of the 2nd day, I feel like my lungs are going to colapse. I get short of breath and struggle to breathe. It's much like an asthma attack. (Yeah, I have asthma, so stopping would be to my benefit).
I'm gonna keep trying and eventually I'll get there. May have to do like my mom...spend 4 weeks in intensive care not knowing she was in the world...but the good part was, after she got out, she never smoked again LOL.

Pawlee, that quitting smoking thing must have a secret trick to it since I am STILL STUPIDLY SMOKING despite having now developed asthma from me being allergic to cigarette smoke, and after having gotten bronchial pneumonia twice in 6 months. How stupid was I sitting there trying to smoke and using my TWO inhalers every 8 hours???? I SWEAR this will be the year I quit, even if I have to be a grumpy person for the time being.
Of course I say that now, as I'm fixing to go outside and have a smoke. Someone just slap me.

Suzi Q, you sound like me LOL. I'll plug in the nebulizer, take an albuterol treatment, then fire up a marlboro afterward. I need to quit!
