Smoking: is associated w/higher risks of cancer and breathing problems. Please find a smoking cessation support group at your local hospital or see a clinical psychologist for help. Clinical hypnosis and self-hypnosis training is useful. See www.asch.net for referrals to licensed professionals. Peace and freedom from smoke for you.

A member asked:

I smoked heavily (either hookah, cigar, vape, cigarettes) 1-3 days a week for one year. It has been 2 years since I have completely quit. I am wondering if 2 years is enough to consider my related health risks lowered and equivalent to a non smoker?
