You're an inspiration to us at Smoke Free At last. I showed your comments to our staff here. You're so right that each of us needs to take our health in our own hands and recover both our hearts and lungs. Please keep up the advocacy work you're doing. I look forward to hearing from you again and your help and support of others quitting. Many thanks for sharing. Erika Slater Margaret,

No one told/warned me about the wierd breathing, the unexpected urges to breathe very deeply and sometimes not being able to. I figured out for myself that i had to help my lungs to relax without that filthy chemical which is added to the cigarettes to make them do so and realised that breathing exercises were the answer and as that was some long time ago when i did not have a lap-top, i devised my own through common sense but your tips are a great suport for folk and already i have told my sister to look you up as she is having problems too and as she is a recent "stopper" she is at a bad place re her breathing.
