   I smoked for 39 years and when I quit "cold turkey", I was up to an average of   
   2.5 packs per day.  Running out of breath while bowling scared the   
   you-know-what out of me.  I had my lungs X-rayed the day after I quit and the   
   doctor told me I was lucky there were no spots on my lungs and asked me to   
   come back in six months for another set of X-rays.  I did and my lungs were   
   clear.  I considered that remarkable.
