Stopped for 2 Days when my Lung collapsed, although in 1976 you could still smoke in Hospitals, you could not smoke in your room. Day after they stuck a chest tube in me to drain the fluids from my chest cavity, i walked out into the hallway and had a smoke in one hand and my drainage jar in the other.
And yes, the nurse came by and slapped it outa my hand and told my doctor. He proceded to tell me that if i kept smoking i would be dead in 2 years.
I now smoke 2 1/2 packs a day and have not had a problem with my lung since. Althought they did have to hack a kidney outa me 2 years ago, but thats another adventure all together.
Dog out....
