I ballooned to over 200 lbs when I quit smoking. I got breathless just tying my damned shoes.
I was grouchy as hell and my free floating anxiety was off the charts.
I started smoking again, lost the weight and feel so much better now.
My joints no longer ache just walking across the room.
The doctors harassed me after my heart attack last December (even though smoking had nothing to do with it). The only reason I quit is because my wife wanted to also quit.
Without a doubt, I definitely felt better and more healthy when I was smoking. I smoked a pack a day for 42 years. My lungs are spotless.
