My history
I started smoking when I was 16 or 17 years old. By the time I was 30, I was smoking almost two packs a day and I was a big lover of wine and whisky, drinking almost a bottle of wine per meal preceded by a glass of whisky as an aperitif and a glass of brandy after dessert.
Around the age of 50, my health deteriorated, I coughed a lot, I had problems with breathing and digestion. At the age of 55, my health had deteriorated so much that I was admitted to the hospital for almost a week and abruptly stopped drinking and smoking. The next three months were hellish, but I held on, I definitely quit drinking and smoking.
I am now 78 years old and feeling great. I never thought when I was 40 years old that I could live this long.
