I know its different for everyone. for 14 years my parents smoked in the car with me, with the windows up. and constantly in the house. I smoke cigarettes, too. Ive probably smoked a good 350-400 so far. how many cigarettes until i see bad health problems?
Every one different but I smoked for 25 years, I have asthma that is not controllable. A year ago I quit, my asthma… not very controlled today the doctor say that I need to go to a specialist maybe have COPD or beginning stages of emphysema. Everyone said that when I quit I would feel better, that my lungs would repair themselves, that I wouldn’t cough that black crud up any more, my sense of smeel would improve… Well It’s been more than a year and guess what , my friend, I can smell better, and after 9 months I dont cough that black crud up any more, but all that other stuff I mentioned HA! maybe I quit too late , I’m still on 4 different asthma meds and those dont keep me attack free, I’ve got a dr. appointment in a week to see if my lungs are infact more damaged than I think. OMG I’m soooo scared that there going to tell me that theres some kind of dark spot on my lungs, I’m so worried that I’ve developed a twitch in my eye that acts up really bad when I start to think about the x-rays I’m gonna have. Funny none of that ever came to mind when I did smoke, always thought that "that wont happen to me" well my friend in a week + however long it takes to get my results back I’ll find out, maybe it did happen to me… we’ll see. The best thing I could tell you is that you should quit. be strong, You’ve not smoked that long, the sooner you stop the easier. Luck to you
