Alice,

RE: Quitting smoking = depression?

Depressed because of quitting smoking? The same thing happened to me every time I tried to quit or even cut down — until I had a stroke! THEN I knew I had to quit — and guess what? No depression! Quit NOW while you have a choice — please don't wait till something terrible happens like it did to me, and then you HAVE no choice. One of my carotid arteries was blocked 80% and the doctors told me that 60% of it was probably due to smoking! Take my word for it — cigarettes are NOT your friends. And I have NO desire to smoke; never had one craving from the day I quit — but please, listen to me, quit NOW and not when you are forced to due to a horrible health hazard! Best of luck :)
