I'm 40. I got diagnosed with Macular Degendration this month actually last year at 39. They do not know why I got this so young but but I'm sure my smoking past did not help. I smoked from ages 15-25. I get both eyes done monthly.I also have several autoimmune diseases/ailments so there may be no relation to smoking but I do not wish this on anybody. I'm not into he shock commercials but heard about this one and had to check it out. Our eyes are so precious folks! If this could prevent anybody from going through this I do hope it helps. This is an incurable blinding disease and these injections are a band-aid. I just wanted to put it out there this doesn't discriminate to age. Love to all.

How does it feel to have to have a needle in your eyeball.

I like the fact that she puts humor in this terrrifying story. Ironically, I feel sorry for her when she gets them...

I used the drug Chantix and was able to finally quit after smoking for 15 years. I've been quit for over 7 years now! I wish I had never smoked but I'm also so glad that I finally quit.

I can't take this.. Oh God. I'm glad I never smoked. My doctors say I have lungs of a 10 year old. Pls never smoke. Never. This poor woman.

Never smoke

Do anything and everything you need to do to quit. I did the E-cig for almost 2 years. I had gum disease and lost teeth. Pray, alot...

I got my first injection last week...it sucks!! I will pray for you

VASHAW GULLEY That is a VERY wise decision. I'm so thankful I've been quit since November 5, 2006. I quit at the right time, cuz I learned smoking can cause diabetes very shortly after I gave up the smokes. Now I know tobacco smoking causes a whole host of disabilities and scary health problems. It doesn't just cause lung cancer, heart disease and emphysema.

No they shouldn't. People have a right to smoke if they want to. Everyone knows the risks of smoking yet they continue to do it, and that is their decision. There is a huge market for cigarettes and states get TONS of tax money from it. if people want to smoke then they should be allowed to without fear of prosecution. I do not, nor will I ever smoke cigarettes, but I respect the decisions of other people who do

Linda Morris - Hi, Linda, see my post to Brandon - above - and you will see how I quit. You can do it. Just do it. One moment, in one day, is all it takes, and a few days of your body detoxing, and, you've got it licked! 3 weeks is all it takes to change our habits - this has been scientifically proven. It only takes 3 days, however, for your body to get over the withdrawal - the rest is up to you. I pray you stop today, and ,will go on to live an amazing life smoke free! WE're here for you, Linda! Good luck god bless, and, be healthier...and hopefully live a longer, and happier life without cigarettes. MAK

Linda, I also wanted to quit but I made several attempts over the years with no success ; even though I knew it was best for my health I just couldn't seem to kick the habit because (I know this is sick), I really ENJOYED smoking cigs. But after I broke my pelvis I really had no other choice. My doctors demanded that I quit. Since I was stuck in the hospital and rehab for a month I had no o other choice. So I put on a patch and, taking one day at a time and with the support of family and docs and friends, now 6 months later I am a non smoker. It feels so good to say that. So use every tool available including the quit line where they will send you a few months of patches and provide invaluable support and encouragement. After 40 years of smoking, if I can do it you can too. Don't give up

God I'm so sorry this is horrifying

Smokers smell really bad. Once you quit and get a sense of smell back you will understand. Get a doctors help to quit.

i know what marlene is going through i too get the injections but mine they said was from being severally near sighted i developed a large black circle on my eye is why i get the treatments i have gained some of my sight back

scary

I've been smoking since I was 17. I'm now 57. I have cataracts, ocular histoplasmosis, and I have macular degeneration. I am a type 2 diabetic. Guess which one caused the macular, and it wasn't smoking.

You know what also causes macular degeneration? GETTING OLD. age related MD is the leading cause of vision loss for folks over 55, INCLUDING ONES WHO NEVER SMOKED A DAY IN THEIR LIFE. These ads the cdc has been putting out lately have been downright irresponsible and fear-mongering.

Stepha - Emphasis on "because that's how old eyes work sometimes?" - MD is more related to diabetes, and a few other disorders, not primarily because you get older! You're making assumptions about older people's health. But, you are right, smoking is a huge and preventable factor. Also - how do you know whether or not second hand smoke may have possibly contributed to older folks getting MD? MAK

Debbie Phillips Just because she has it and didn't smoke does not mean it doesn't occur. In fact, the number one cause of macular degeneration is smoking. Smoking constricts blood vessels to the eyes and causes damage to the cornea and retna by cutting off blood supply.
