I quit a few years ago cold turkey and it was hard but I stopped. I had a very nasty smoking habit too, I was smoking a pack and a half to two packs a day and I was very young and already coughing sometimes when I laughed hard! That was a wake up call big time and it was affecting my health a lot, so I quit. My breathing was ten times better after I quit smoking, especially about 6 months later it was like my lungs were clear again. The only downside to quitting smoking for me was some weight gain during the 6-10 months after. OF course once I noticed I had gotten about 10-15 lbs heavier in all the wrong places I was actually breathing good enough to jog my expanding arse on the treadmill and I got rid of the weight pretty fast. So the only downside to quitting smoking (weight gain) is easily fixable, just use those clear lungs to work out more!
