I've in the same hook as you, Franko, but lowered my small cig consumption to 4 per day and my lungs are in good (?) shape owing to daily brisk walk.

Self-control  - after 40 years of 30 cigarettes per day you really need it...
I dropped 30 kg via walking and food control in 3 years - had to do it because my knees were about to wear out. Now I can climb stairs again.

Since I was 16 till the age of 34 I used to smoke 15 to 20 CIGARS a day, but the ex-wife made me give them up cos it was so damned expensive, that's when I started on the ciggies at about age 34 now 47 and don't think I'll see 57, but who care I've enjoyed it, it's been a good life... :)

PS: If I dropped 30kg I'd disappear, never been more than 10 stone my entire life... :) (also I live in a bungalow so no worries about stairs...:))

What about 77 Franko. It's 30 years from now.  I'm sure you could enjoy yourself for 20 of them. Watched a show about a guy 73yo who was on deaths door after his wife passed away.  His GP convinced him to go on Motorbike riding tours local and international. At 87 He just finished a solo ride around Australia this year. The experiences he'd have missed if he gave it away.  Groove is in the heart.

I've given up preaching.

77... don't think any Scotman has ever reached that age, it's a myth I tell ya... :)

(PS: 30 years go bye in the blink of an eye, enjoy it while you can, a few more blinks and before you know it they're stuffing you in a dirty big hole in the ground... ;))

I've not stopped anything really, I still do all the stuff I enjoy doing :D In fact I've started doing stuff I used to do, I'm weight training again and it feels great!
