and the saddest ones go through a second bypass, which is the last one since there aren't any more convenient blood vessels to harvest If they still can't quit, they're looking at a very few miserable years with a rapidly failing heart.

So congratulations on eliminating nicotine. It's one of the most addictive drugs out there and it's one of the worst, contracting the muscles that line arteries so that the tiniest clump of blood cells can cause heart attack or stroke.

Any way you can manage to quit is the right way. Friends went through hell quitting smoking, even fellow nurses who saw first hand what it did to the human body.

So congratulations!
