Quit for about 5 years...

After smoking for 25 years. Like an idiot, I started again a couple of years ago. Didn't take long to ramp back up to a pack a day. Been noticing lately that my heart rate is always high, around 100+. I'm 56 yrs old and remembered that both my dad and my grandfather died at 56. Also remembered that heart issues run in the family on my father's side. Sooooo...

Started taking Chantix a week ago Monday. (It worked for me the first time I quit.) Also started briskly walking 20-30 minutes a day that same day. Besides strengthening my heart, I'm hoping it helps keep the "stop smoking weight gain" to a minimum.

Today is my first day completely smoke-free!

Your story and advice help. Thank you for sharing.

Antifa.com redirects to JoeBiden.com???

My brother, (a Trumpie), sent me a text this morning telling me to go to www.antifa.com. I clicked on the link & it takes you to joebiden.com.

Wonder if Joe Biden's campaign knows about this? Is there anything they can do to stop it?
