The disease is worse because of smoking addiction.

Seeing her son, who is only in his 30s, suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, coughing and choking every night, Mrs. Bé feels like salt is rubbed into her heart. Sadly, although she has been to many hospitals, the doctors all say that there is currently no definitive treatment for this disease, but the only way to increase resistance is to maintain a stable state and minimize other complications for the body.

However, because her son did not persist in his treatment and even secretly smoked cigarettes without her knowledge, his illness did not improve but became worse. Mrs. Be tried every way to persuade her son, but his stubborn personality, combined with being spoiled since childhood, did not change easily.

Seeing his child emaciated from illness and his wife always sad, Mr. Thuong spoke up:

- Madam, why don't we take Kien to the hospital for better management? If it continues like this in the long run, it definitely won't be good.

- The hospital has treated him and given him medicine to go home. They told him to come back for a check-up when he runs out of medicine. But after only a few days, he's like this again. I blame myself for spoiling him too much. He kept asking for money and gave it to him. Even knowing that he's been smoking since middle school, I covered it up and didn't tell you, afraid that you'd scold him. When my son got sick, I heard the doctor say that smoking regularly is one of the main causes of lung disease. I really regretted it.

Then Mrs. Bé sniffled. Mr. Thuong anxiously picked up the phone and called the doctor to ask if his son could come back for a follow-up examination sooner than scheduled. On the other end of the line, the doctor said that he had to go to the hospital immediately because if he stayed at home, his son's condition would get worse and it would be very dangerous. Hearing that, Mr. Thuong quickly told his wife to prepare the luggage, while he called a car to take his son to the hospital.

After a violent cough, leaning on his father's shoulder, Kien breathed heavily and whispered:

- I know my mistake. From now on, I will follow the doctor's treatment and stop smoking. If I keep going like this, I won't be able to breathe anymore.

- It's your fault for spoiling me too much. Let's all try our best, Mrs. Be encouraged her son.
