My sig other is 44 years old, no previous family history of heart disease. He smoked a pack a day from about age 17 until a month ago when he quit cold turkey.
He quit cold turkey because he was diagnosed with coronary artery disease - the disease was advanced enough when (very fortunately) caught that he had 90% blockages and was admitted immediately to the cardiac ICU, where he stayed for 13 days (can't smoke while confined to bed in an ICU with oxygen being piped in).
He had quadruple bypass surgery the Monday before Thanksgiving. He's still recovering, but should be OK by mid-January to go back to work. But it's been an incredibly rough ride -- cardiac bypass surgery is about as invasive as surgery gets, and it takes a long (and painful) time to heal.
Nope. He doesn't smoke any more.
David Torrence?
I am a smoker who runs 2:00 800 4:40 1600 and 50.7 400. I think it does make you slower but not as much as people think.

Well you have piss poor endurance so it must be doing something to your lungs.
Your just a dip sh** that will die from getting shot for patronizing other people.
