A large part of my respiratory woes comes from a 45 year 2-packs per
day cigarette habit. My croaker, several years ago, showed me a print
out of CAT scan of my lungs. It looked like someone had spilled coarse ground pepper in the page. Island of calcium scarring from the
nicotine addiction.

I was a bit luckier than you. I started smoking at age 15 or 16 and
quit at age 45. I don't really recall if I was getting symptoms or
not, but simply decided it was time to quit -- plus, where I was
working was going smoke-free and I would have had to walk up to 1/2
mile to get to an outdoor smoker's area.
Nicorett and some sort of red chewing gum helped a lot. I am now smoke free for almost 40 years. Where we live is a smoke free campus / community and so it would not be an option now.
