   I misquoted that.  After looking that up, it's the initial 24 hours; after   
   that, the effect wears off.  My faulty memory besides, stopping smoking does   
   add life to your years no matter what happens.   
      
   I have never smoked as I had enough damage to my immune system from the day I   
   was born.  I am highly allergic to second-hand smoke.  If I am around it   
   enough, I'll wind up with bronchitis.  My first wife quit smoking while we   
   were married and then picked it back up after we divorced.  She then had her   
   first daughter with her second husband and managed to quit--and stay quit--at   
   that time.   
      
   Later,
