Hi, may not help but I smoked from the age of 12 (not illegal then) until I was almost 21. One day, rolling a cigarette (roll your own, it was a while back.) I thought, what the hey am I doing??? I handed the tobacco to another person and have not smoked since. 49 years. The thing is, you have to really decide that you want to give up. No props or aids like chewing gum with nicotine in it. The tobacco companies do not mind you using gum with nicotine in it as they are producing and selling that as well. Just stop. Requires a litle will power but it can be done. It took me almost a week to finish coughing up the brown cr*p from my lungs. From the sound of what you have said, sooner rather would be good and a visit to the doctor to check your lungs. A friend of mine developed emphysema just on 30 years of age and my cousin has lung cancer. Both death sentences, sadly
