He had been smoking for years and would comfortably smoke up to 3 packs a day.

'2 YEARS 7 MONTHS WITHOUT SMOKING 🚬 🚬🚬🔥🔥

 I used to smoke 2 - 3 packs of cigarettes a day,when clubbing I would do shisha as well and weed once in a while,my friends made shisha sound less harmful than cigarettes which was a lie,every smoke is harmful and can kill.'

The negative effects were so many among them disrespect from people.

EFFECTS DURING SMOKING.

1. My wife rarely kissed me those days for over 5years hivi.

2. People disrespected me and some opted to pay me with smokes instead, they would say “huyo bora umpelekee fegi, atakujenga “

3. I lost some jobs coz of my addiction.

4. I was fooled that while smoking I was more creative - uongo

5. I had bleeding gums and very strong body odour

6. Breathing difficulties, discoloured teeth and many other bad things that come with smoking.

I am glad I did quit, you too can quit, sio hard, I had smoked over 20years   🚬🚬⚰️ 🚬🚬  

Do you smoke? if yes, how many packets per day? If you stopped what made you stop smoking?
