Congratulations, Cyn! I am so glad you don't have that monkey on your back and that your health has improved.

I had a BF years ago who worked in a lab at UCSD. He showed me 2 gallon-size glass jars, each with dissected human lungs in them...one of a smoker, one of a non-smoker. The smoker's lungs were BLACK. You have to wonder how a person can even breathe like that!
