What happens to your body when you stop smoking?

Matt:
Just felt like I needed to share this one, don't ask me why.

Sorin:
Thanks for your responses. If it was on AHA then it pretty much has to be true. I need to quit smoking myself, but it's much easier said than done.

Matt:
Sorin,
Believe me, I understand!  It took me several years (and many added pounds) to quit.  One day, I realized that I smoked more years than not, and it scared me.  Now my 18 year old smokes and it just kills me.
I will pray for strength for you, should you decide to quit. 
 Having lost several relative to lung cancer, I have now become "that guy", the annoying anti smoker that I just hated so much when I was a smoker  ;D

You are a very bright guy and I always look forward to your opinions here on the forum!
Have a blessed day!
Matt

Wow, what timing!

I have been trying to quit AGAIN for the last 2 weeks. I have had 3 packs since New Years (trying the gradual cutback method this time as opposed to the cold-turkey).

I started smoking when I was 16 (now 31). I have had a couple semi-successful "quitting runs", lasting up to 1-2 years each, but I always ended up smoking again...its a habit I wish I never started. I can even remember my first cig....A friend and I found a pack in the middle of the street and we immediately got this temptation to light one up. It amazes me because just we I lit one up, standing their in the middle of the street, this old man riding a bicycle rode by and said, "that habit will kill you one day". I remember silently mocking him, not knowing that I would be hooked on those darn smokes that very same day. Should have listened :(

Anyway, I really want to kick this habit once and for all. Any prayers would be very helpful!

I'll pray for you Sorin, as I know exactly what you are going through.

Thank you Matt for that post. Certainly is a motivator! Now you know WHY you made that post :)

Hi Matt,

I'm sorry that your 18 year old smokes; it's not a habit I want anyone to have. I hope he or she, will end up quiting, soon.
Also, thanks for your prayer; for I really do want to quit.

I'm sorry for your loss. And I can see how one can become that 'annoying anti smoker' guy after having relatives die due to lung cancer.

Hehe! Thank you Matthew, I appreciate that. Although I don't think too highly of myself personally, it's nice when other people tell me so.
