Smoking Cessation Story Mr Li

Smoking Cessation Story - Mr. Li Hello Hi I'm Dr. *** My family doctor referred me, he says I have a problem with my lungs. Okay, do you have any specific symptoms? I cough badly, I have a lot of phlegm in my throat, and it's hard to breathe. Okay, let's do a check. Turn around please. Take a deep breath. Thanks. Let's talk first. Do you smoke? Yes, I started when I was eighteen. It has been forty to fifty years. Knowing that, your symptoms may be caused by smoking. But the hospital has already sent me your results to check. Let's take a look. How is it? It's not clear right now. We need to do more examinations to find out. And you can come back in a few days However, I strongly suggest you to quit smoking. Please try. Honey, what did the doctor say? The doctor said it's pretty serious and I need be re-examined. The most important thing is to quit smoking. I can't smoke anymore. It's been a long time I've been telling you to quit, but you didn't listen to me. I have been smoking for too many years. It is hard to quit. I do not mean that you need to quit immediately. You can do it step by step Reduce one cigarette everyday, then you can quit eventually. Our neighbor Mr. Liu he has already quit smoking and he is very healthy now, stronger than he was before. He plays with his granddaughter everyday now and enjoys his time with his family. How wonderful is that. I know smoking is not good for me but it has been too many years. It is not easy. It feels like I'll lose a part of me if I don't smoke, it feels awful. Yes, I know it is hard, but you need to think about us. We breathe in second hand smoke everyday and Daming learned to smoke when he was young. Now he's addicted. It will be awful if our grandchildren are exposed to smoking as well. You can do more exercises in your spare time, go to the parks, play chess. But I can't play chess everyday. There are many things to do. I heard that the community holds many activities, we can go there tomorrow and have a look. Have you prepared the dinner for our son and daughter-in-law? Yes, everything is ready, we're just waiting for them. Thank you Mom. Dad, you look tired, what happened? Oh, I haven't been feeling well recently But don't worry, I am fine Take care of yourself, dad. Okay, well I have good news to tell you. What is it? You are going to be a grandfather! Lily is pregnant Good news! This is so nice. I'm going to be grandmother. I went to the hospital and found out that I've pregnant for two months. Then you need take care of yourself, stay away from Daming when he smokes I know... Dad and Daming... I would like to ask that you quit smoking since I am pregnant. I work in a hospital, and know that smoking is extremely harmful. It can cause many diseases, even lung cancer. Second hand smoke has a powerful influence on others, especially to children. So if Dad and Daming can quit smoking, it will be good for our family and the child. I went to the clinic today and the doctor said I need to quit, because smoking has negatively influenced my lungs. I was hesitant, but have now decided it's best to quit for the family, and my grandchild. Don't worry. Thank you Dad. That's right. You and I, we need to be healthy and see our grandchild grow together. Daming, you should quit smoking as well and don't let our grandchild take up smoking in the future. You can quit smoking! You're right. Smoking really is harmful to children, I will definitely quit My dad has smoked for so many years and even he decides to quit. It shouldn't be a problem for me! Good, let's quit together, and provide the child a healthy environment to live in. Don't worry Lily!
