Was a dumb arse. Smoked 2 packs a day for 58 years. 5 years ago lung cancer lung cancer made me quit. Now cancer free. No cravings.

Good for you-----to both quit and be cancer free. The thing with most people that are diagnosed with lung cancer is the diagnosis often comes along way late in the disease and it's got a good hold on them.

I've had 3 friends die from lung cancer, all heavy smokers who found out they had it too late to do much for them. One lived 3 months and the longest was my late brother-in-law who lasted just over a year and died at age 53. That was 11 years ago now.
