I quit smoking 9 months ago...and it was the best thing that I could have ever done for myself. I hate to be one of those preacher types but it has to be said. I have so much more energy, and when I wake up in the morning I feel great instead of all congested in the chest. I don't have that cough that didn't bother me at the time, but now that it is gone I feel much better. But most important I just had a tumor removed from my pancreas a month ago, luckily it was removed early enough and I am cancer free. I may have gotten this if I hadn't smoked for 16 years, but I can't help thinking that this didn't help. OK- I am stepping off my soap box here, but everyone was giving such encouragement for weight loss that I wanted to offer a good luck on the quitting smoking.
