Jackie Smedley's Story

  • Apr 23, 2019
As a youth, I was not informed of the dangers of smoking because "everybody did it." My parents smoked and so did I. In 2013, I was diagnosed with stage 2 COPD. Since my diagnosis, I have gone down the slope of COPD quickly. I am now on oxygen 24/7. Even the most simple tasks have become a burden.

Don’t smoke! And know your limits. I am a nice person who ruined her lungs by smoking. I quit smoking September 30, 2005 and have not smoked since.

Never give up. Always have communication between your doctors. Contact the COPD Foundation, the best tool for information when one is told they have COPD.
