Does anyone have suggestions or kowledge on recovering from smoking?
I quit smoking a few weeks ago after 31/2 year of the junk! Is it possible to heal my lungs?
If not, how far back to normal can I get?
If my lungs can somewhat heal, how long will this take?
Thx for any input

I will be villified for this, but I am a smoker, have been for 14 years. I didn't smoke during college (picked it up post). 3 years ago, I came within 1 second of my college 100yd times. 58 100 ***. What I really like, are the disgusted looks I get at Nationals when I am standing outside the pool, in my suit, taking a drag.
Entry Fee into Nationals, $35; Pack of Smokes, $5; Six Pack of beer, $7; Beating non-smokers who have something to say about my habbit, priceless.
Seriously, I will agree that my distance swimming has been somewhat affected.
