February 6, 201610 yr I noticed my ticker this morning and this is how many cigs I did not smoke since quitting. And that is probably a low ball number. No wonder my skin looks so much better now that I am not puffing on those horrible things endlessly and drawing the oxygen out of my body.
February 6, 201610 yr Our quit dates are similar, so I have to post to see my ticker to see if my numbers are that high....lol....it's amazing that we could actually smoke that many, and not reallize it.... In a little over 2 years, that is a staggering amount ! All you lurkers who are considering quitting....do some math...our numbers will be real simliar to yours...it's an addiction that we all must feed....it DEMANDS a certain amount to be satisfied. Wow!.. I must have smoked about twice as much as you Mel....my numbers are off the chart! I smoked about 2 packs a day........ Just wow!
February 6, 201610 yr Author I smoked one pack for 30 years :( I went last year to get the new low dose CT of my lungs and all was well. I think they are recommending that you get the test once a year.
February 6, 201610 yr Author Here it is explained. It is a newish test for early detection. http://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/lung-cancer-screening/basics/definition/prc-20092341
