Say i have smoked for 12 years can i still start jogging?

Most likely yes: The screening process asks specifically about how you are feeling day of donation, and the screener (/nurse) checks your temperature. The process is fairly efficient at looking for risks but allowing those who are ok to donate. You should be ok.
