A Blurred Left Eye, an Injection, and a Doctor's Order to Quit

A 32-year-old with 15 years of smoking lost their first quit — three months — at a classmate gathering, then failed every attempt for years. A diagnosis of left-eye macular disease with distorted vision, treated by injection, and the doctor's instruction to stop smoking and drinking became the new push.
