Kristy G.’s Tip
Kristy’s Tip
Low Resolution Video
By age 33, Kristy had been a heavy smoker for 20 years. She tried using electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) to quit cigarette smoking, but continued to smoke regular cigarettes. She eventually stopped using e-cigarettes and went back to smoking regular cigarettes. In this ad from CDC’s Tips From Former Smokers® campaign, Kristy talks about how she quit for good after her lung collapsed from smoking.
Kristy grew up in a small town in Tennessee and smoked her first cigarette at age 13 with an older sister. Many of her friends and family members smoked. Kristy followed in their footsteps and became a regular smoker. By age 33, Kristy had been smoking for 20 years. She smoked three packs a day, had developed a deep smoker’s cough, and was short of breath.
Kristy tried using electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) as a way to cut back on cigarette smoking, but she continued to smoke regular cigarettes. Her cough didn’t get better, and eventually, Kristy stopped using e-cigarettes and went back to smoking only regular cigarettes. A few months later, her right lung collapsed, which can be life threatening. She was rushed to the hospital. Kristy spent 2 weeks there on powerful pain medicine as doctors inserted chest tubes and performed surgery to repair her collapsed lung. Tests also showed that Kristy had the beginning stages of emphysema and COPD, lung diseases that make it harder and harder to breathe and have no cure. COPD stands for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Kristy’s collapsed lung was a wake-up call—sudden and terrifying. “I felt like somebody was stabbing me in the back and I couldn’t catch my breath.” Kristy, a long-haul truck driver, had just climbed out of her truck after many days on the road away from home. “It scared me—the fact that I had just gotten home and then my lung collapsed,” she said. “If I had been out on the road, by myself, what would I have done?”
It was frightening for Kristy’s husband and children to see her laid up in the hospital, struggling to breathe. Her 7-year-old daughter didn’t want to leave her mother’s side. “My youngest, she really broke down,” said Kristy.
Kristy had tried to quit smoking many times before she landed in the hospital, gasping for breath, with only one lung working. But each time she tried, stressful events would send her reaching for a cigarette. Kristy hoped that e-cigarettes would help, but she found that every afternoon, she still craved regular cigarettes.
Today, Kristy is happy that she quit smoking completely. Her life is easier; she has more money now that she’s no longer buying cigarettes and she feels much better. “I can actually breathe,” she said. “I can play with my kids. When I smoked, I had no energy. It just affected my whole life!”
