Liana Kanelli: I had reached the point of smoking 80 cigarettes a day and almost lost my life

Young people should not start smoking, it offers no pleasure, said Liana Kanellis after her health adventure

Newsroom March 15 07:16

For the great adventure she went through in early 2024 when she had to be hospitalized for days in the ICU having contracted pneumonia and RSV, spoke Liana Kanelli who was catapulted to cigarettes confessing that she reached the point of smoking 80 cigarettes a day and “almost lost my life”.

“I had reached the misery of smoking 4 packs of cigarettes in the middle of the pandemic, that is 80 cigarettes a day. I cut it out with a knife. It was pure will, me and the cigarettes were finished,” he said initially speaking to SKY.

As she noted, “the cigarette contributed (to her health adventure) because the lungs of a person who smokes every day have no elasticity.” “But the work, the exercise of the diaphragm, that I can cough, also played a role.”

“I smoked for three lifetimes and almost lost my life, let the young people not start it, it offers no pleasure,” she added in this context.

Meanwhile, he stressed that “nicotine withdrawal needs help because the doctors told me that if I don’t go through a rehabilitation process I will be in trouble.

She confessed, that “I suffered a lot, there were times when I said ‘I’m giving up the ghost’ but I didn’t want to die, I had things to do.

If you have an attitude Digeni, you will fight it. Loneliness kills easier than sickness, you want people to think of you, to live for them, you want struggle, If you let go it will let go. Life is good because it’s hard.”
