Addiction to tobacco comes easy, what has been accepted for many decades is that smoking makes the person cool, courageous or more egoist but it doesn't.For Jean Rommes 59, the president of a small company in US, the crisis became five years ago. On a Monday morning, she had planned to go to work but wound up in the hospital bed, barely able to breath. Although she had quit smoking a decade earlier, 30 years of cigarettes had taken their toll.
After several days in hospital, she was sent home tethered to an oxygen tank, with a raft of medicines and a warning: "If i didn't do something, life was going to continue to be a pretty scary experince."
Women started to smoke during the era of Virginia Slims, when sports events were sponsored by them. Now they are catching up to them and most of them are under treated.
