Tell him that every time he inhales one of those cigs that his arteries clamp down..hopefully he doesn't have any more but they should be sure to check out all his other major arteries. (neck) Usually they only check out the chest area arteries and possibly the leg arteries.
I quit smoking cold turkey after a friend died last year from emphesema..he wasn't the first I knew that died from that.
Smoking is like playing russian roulette with your life. Some make it some don't.
I loved to smoke but I also like to breath..deeply.. I am glad I quit!
Glad your hubby is doing good now.
The post about the tums..when I was in the emergency room one time they were taking care of this man that just came in with chest pains..he got top priority because of it possibly being a heart attack. Well they did the EKG on him and nothing showed, they then gave him a bicarbonate and he started to burb..he felt much better and they sent him home..Thankfully his was a false alarm.
Snoozy..
