Obviously, quitting smoking regardless of what is going on is a great decision. However, IMO, a pack of cigarettes in two days is not really that much. Not so much that the smoking alone should cause the shortness of breath. You should see a doctor. If you work at your puter a lot (and aren't as active as maybe you should be) you could have formed a blood clot or clots in your legs - the shortness of breath could be from little chunks of the clots winding up in your lungs (pulminary embulism(s). It happened to me and I was younger than you when it first happened.
