Smoked from my teen years till I was 39. Last couple years 4 packs a day. Could never see myself ever stopping till my allergists did a breathing test and said the way your going you'll be carrying around an oxygen tank by the time your 50. The next day I did this therapy where they touch a light to the back of your ears for about 30 seconds. Arickular therapy. Something like that. Thought it was a joke but 14 years later and haven't had one. It was tough, took probably more than a year before it wasn't on my mind everyday.
I keep telling myself I am in a fight with these smokes and I'm tired of getting my ass kicked.
It was a social thing that me and all my friends did.
Breathings good now. Your lungs can repair themselves.
Also my high school had smoking lounges for us to use in between classes. Ha! Hard to believe now days they aloud that.
Funny thing, I realized that smoking doesn't relief stress it really only marked stress worse.
