A member asked:
If i quit smoking now, will i ever be as healthy as people who have never smoked before?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, no, who knows?: The real question is "will you ever be as healthy as you can be?" you will be healthier if you quit than if you don't. Period. Among those other people who never smoked are people of all different sorts. Wjo knows how healthy they might be? If you think you'd be better off quitting, quit. Good luck - it's a good idea.
