Yep. Same with my mom. No problems until she quit smoking, then developed Chron’s disease. Not to mention, she put on weight which she still carries. As a doctor, I always tell people to not smoke. But the fact of the matter is smoking has SOME beneficial effects. For example in schizophrenics. The long term effects are bad, obviously. But there’s a reason people have smoked for centuries. They were getting some kind of medicinal relief.

Good call, I think I need a smoke break!
