I can’t think of anyone I know who smokes. My parents both gave up in the late 1980’s.
Actually, I’ve just thought of one person who smokes, one of my sons’ friends. He’s in his early 40’s and has also just been diagnosed as Type 2 diabetic.
My dd is a trainee medic and she says so many people are in hospital in the cardiac/lung/vascular units because of smoking. Interestingly, she says they’ve been told that the old mantra of ‘If at first you don’t succeed...’ very much applies to giving up smoking. If you don’t succeed the first time, you’ve got a higher chance of succeeding the second time and so on.
