the largest tobacco tax increase in history. It's $1 a pack on cigarettes....but a 2000% (yes, thousand) increase on loose tobacco. It's to pay for childrens healthcare, in theory. It will never work and is doomed to failure.
I've only smoked for a few years, but I'm afraid if I don't stop soon I'm going to cause some permanent damage to my lungs. I'd like to use a method to stop that doesn't involve patches, or drugs. Patches didn't work for me anyway. Also, reducing my intake doesn't work. I need something that involves going cold turkey.
It's amazing how much smoking physically effects your brain. I can feel the changes when I do stop.
I have read that after quitting smoking, the lungs revert to their healthy state in just a few years (that is, if you haven't developed emphysema or tumors). I would think that hydrating yourself sufficiently would probably help to "clean" your lungs in as quick a way as possible.

I used to have a chart that showed how long it would take for things like the
lungs to go back to being comparative to those of a non-smoker. Wish I knew
where it is now... some of the more serious things took 10 or 15 years, but
it was fascinating to know these things after I quit.
