Hi, my name is Jarell. I was out of work for nearly two weeks, and this was the worst health scare of my life.
I got bronchitis due to smoking. I couldn't tell you how scared I was. I started to think I had cancer. Life is precious; don't play with it. My employees missed me. It makes me grateful that I still have my life. So, teens and adults, do your body a favor and stop smoking before it is too late. Do sports, travel or hang with the family. Do something, but don't smoke, please. Too many young people die from this. Please do it for yourself and me.
