“I was 11. I had just developed asthma and my mother refused to quit chain smoking in the house. One night I have a severe attack. I’m trying to use my rescue inhaler and its not working. Each time I try to inhale it just goes right out my nose. I panic.
I vidly remember my mother smoking a cigarette as the panic is giving way to hypoxia. Shes screaming at me to use my inhaler. Right before loosing conciousness I realized that was it, I’m dead. There wasn’t a whole lot of life to flash before my eyes. A sense of calm and peace settled over me as I collapsed.
My parents did CPR on me until the paramedics arrived. I woke up in ICU days later with a tube down my throat. The doctors were surprised I survived. My mother never smoked in the house again after that. The car was still fair game for her though.”
