to feel a little bit fucking hard done by?

[kinkyfuckery]

So, I stopped smoking nearly 5 months ago. Am now reliant on e-cigs but still an improvement, no?

AIBU to feel a bit pissed off that I'm now being investigated for the possibility of developing asthma, at the fucking age of 30?

I know the 15 years of on-off smoking hasn't helped, but I'm smoke-free now... sure that's a bit of a bitch.

Hmph.

I hope you dont have asthma. If you do surely it will mbe much milder or easier to manage as a non smoker?
Well done for quitting. Dont foeget the lung cancer, heart disease, oral cancer, stroke etc that you're a hell of a lot less likely to develop

My breathing was never worse than in the 2 years after giving up fags and I was never ill-er!

It's your lungs trying to get out all the tar and shit (not literal shit,you'll be pleased to know).

It should improve. :)

Well done on quitting.

Oh yes, am still so glad I'm no longer smoking - can imagine if I'd still been, it'd have been a Xmas hospitalisation!

The e cigs made me cough worse than the tags! Which is why I quit it all and went cold turkey.

Tis a bitch though Op, but stick with it, you've done so well.

I've had asthma from the age of 13 and I stupidly used to smoke. As long as I keep on top of my steroid inhaler then its controlled. Some people have it mildly so it doesn't have to mean the end of the world. Out of my many health problems, asthma barely registers tbh .

Only a bit of a bitch. Not much of a bitch.

My mother died of asthma. She had never smoked in her life. I think that was a bit more of a bitch. I was always the lucky one of the family - I was not asthmatic at all throughout childhood, adolescence, younger adulthood. I've never smoked in my life. My sibling was so severely asthmatic they stopped breathing and had to be revived many times in childhood. They were hospitalised numerous times. They had lost a huge % of their lung capacity, by the time they were 40. They are still alive. Our mother was dead in her 40s.

In my thirties, I got a job in a very polluted area of the city and within months was asthmatic, never having wheezed once in my life, to that point.

That's a bit of a bitch, too.

In the grand scale of things, I wouldn't worry about it.

My grandfather died of lung cancer 20 years after he quit (and after surgery and chemo/radiation). My grandmother a couple of months prior from liver cancer (and from what I understand it was in a lot of other places too).

So... asthma. Yes I can see that.
