A member asked:
I'm 26 and have been smoking for 14 years 1 pack a day over 10 and more recently 1 1/2 packs a day how bad are my lungs?

Smoking: Your doctor can test your lung capacity but more importantly, the sooner you become smoke free the better. It will lower, but not completely remove, the risk of illness and poor quality of life and finances due to smoking. Check w/your doctor or local hospital for a smoking cessation program referral. Peace and good health.
