I got cancer at 21, likely from smoking cigs!. And it wasnt lung cancer, it was leukemia!. Now, a lot of people roll their eyes at me and tell me leukemia isnt a smoking cancer!. But it can be!. One of the primary links to my cancer is benzene exposure, and guess what is in cig smoke!.!.!. benzene!. The near 600 additives that are in cigs when burned create over 4000 different chemicals!. (googles cig additives)!.

21!. While I should have been out party, having fun, making friends, starting my career!.!.!.!. I was in a hospital puking my guts up so weak I had to have someone else wipe my butt everytime I went to the bathroom!. And I am not exagerating!. And then I relapsed at 23, still smoking, 4 months after I had finally been able to get a job after the first time!. Ill be 25 in a couple months, and I am just now able to try to get back into life!. I start classes in 2 weeks!.

But I lost basically 4 years of my life, that I could have had it I had just not smoked!.

Please be polite while smoking in public!. Dont stand right beside the door that everyone has to walk through!.
