If you read this article and check the links, but still do not have the desire to quit...I challenge you visit your local hospital Oncology Department...get a first hand glimpse of individuals suffering from COPD, have a conversation if possible..

90% of individuals develop Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) from smoking cigarettes.

In some cases there may be the possibility of lung surgery (bullectomy), removing the infected parts, if there's enough healthy tissue, that can grow stronger to ease breathing struggles. In some cases individuals are offered organ transplant, but again your entire body have already experienced the effects of this disease, and success is never guaranteed..

Cigarette smoking is the number one risk factor for lung cancer,cigarette smoking is linked to about 80% to 90% of lung cancer deaths. Lung cancer is the most common form of the disease in the world and 90 percent of all cases are caused by cigarette smoking. About 10 to 15 percent of smokers develop lung cancer — although they often die of other smoking-related causes like heart disease, stroke or emphysema. lung cancer often goes unnoticed in its early stages. As the disease develops, a persistent cough  develop and chronic cough worsen. including chest pain, shortness of breath, hoarseness, bloody fluid coughed up from the respiratory tract, and frequent bouts of bronchitis or pneumonia. Sometimes all your bones begin pains or hurts you so bad, headaches, dizziness,I was so pissed off and tired of my life,after I developed lung cancer from cigarette smoking and I was at the point of death,through my boredom I was surfing the internet then  I came across re Dr James herbal mix. who said he can cure lung cancer with his herbal mix and got herbal cleansers from smoking too.I really thought it was a joke until I have gotta try. when I contacted him,he said yes he can. so little time I thought  about it and bought the herbal medicine which I took couple of week to get to me.within one week of taken it I started seeing  a lots of changers till  I was totally cured. his treatment is so unique,I never thought i will be able to be free from Lung Cancer and smoking treat too.He saved my life and I'm strong and healthy right now.You can speak with Him direct on his mobile/whatsapp/E-mail+2348152855846
