Kristy is a 36-year-old truck driver from Tennessee. She smoked cigarettes to help pass time on the road. In this video from CDC’s _Tips From Former Smokers_ ® ( _Tips_ ® ) campaign, Kristy explains what happened when she came home in pain after one trip. She was rushed to the hospital, struggling to breathe. She thought she was going to die; her lung had collapsed. After surgery and a long recovery, she vowed never to smoke again.
