I had my kidney transplant in 2005. have wanted to smoke for a long time. i have been extremely stable for the whole time with no kidney problems.

Good for you: Don't ruin it by smoking again. You owe it to yourself and perhaps more so to the selfless donor. You are helping repay the donor by keeping their, now your, kidney going for as long as you can.
