I'm 65 & have been smoking since I was 15 yrs old. I made my own & smoked about a pack a day (more in the past), but for over a yr I've had problems w/my legs & found out it was peripheral artery disease. My arteries are blocked & I'm having a hard time walking w/o pain. For the 1st time in my life, I'm trying to quit smoking. I tried the patch & it worked for 2 wks, but it was a constant struggle. 3 days ago, I got acupuncture. Since then, I've had 1-2 a day. It's SO frick'n hard!!! I have a very strong support system (Mom, kids, grandkids, siblings) but damn, it's hard!!!
