pain in lung...i smoke only a little bit

rainyday · 05-22-2008, 10:57 PM

i've only started smoking for about 2 month. i rather liked it.

but suddenly this morning, walking very fast to school, i realize if i breathe in deeply my lung hurts, especially the left one.

also if i pull my head up, stretch my neck to the right, it feels like my insides are being pulled and its little bit painful.

if i fix my composure such as making my chest wide, and shoulders back stragith, it hurts a tiny bit.

i also slept with the window open...

is this normal for a smoker ?

i would go to the doctor, maybe you have an infection? but i would certainly give up smoking, it's not doing anything good for your lungs and body.

plus its the number two turn off amongst women behind bad hygiene although smoking makes you smell horrid and so sometimes it goes hand in hand.

Why do you think so many want to quit and cant. You still can, do not fall into the trap.

So what you like it? Its a killer, find something you like that wont kill you like jumping out of an airplane with a parachute. Sure its dangerous but probably most people wont get hurt if you do it right. Thats just an example of many.

trying to scare the kid into what can and probably will happen...sorry just have had too many people close to me die from smoking and i just dont get it why people can stop once the doctors say they are going to die but not when all their friends and family do.

Now why would you say he's lying when the poster hasn't checked with the doctor yet?
The best I can say is that he's guessing

No one should ever wish cancer on another human being. That's an awful thing to say to anyone, whether true or not. Completely inappropriate on any level.

You're just putting words into his mouth now Kev by saying he's "wishing cancer on another human being". He didn't say that.

I mean, how would you respond if the poster was a 40 year old chain smoker for 10 years and said his left lung is in pain?

You'd probably be more serious and tell him to go to a doctor to take blood samples by now.

There are always misconceptions that youth guarantees no cancer after smoking. The probability of a mutation is merely much lower than adults, but it does happen. Same thing can be said with second hand smoke. They are not exposed to numerous chemical compounds through directly smoking, but just breathing the smoke can cause cancer.
I wouldn't wipe that possibility out of the list.

Go to the doctor.
