While I agree it's a disgusting habit... All my bad health news came after I quit! Granted, in 25 years of smoking I only went to a doctor like 2-3 times, but why aren't I immortal now??? I was perfectly healthy when I couldn't stop coughing, and could barely breathe!

All jokes aside, I'm amazed I'm in as good of health that I am. Started at 16, I'm 40 now and quit a little over 4.5 years ago.

I hate to say it, but the only thing that got me to quit was working for a company that went 100% non smoking 5 years ago... I left a few months later, but it had nothing to do with the ban on smoking, it was their ban on hiring/promoting/or transferring from one's current position if they lived in a state with wage transparency 😎
