I quit smoking in 1971 and I call myself an ex-smoker!. If someone accuses me of being a non-smoker I will cheerfully plead guilty as charged, however to me a non-smoker would be someone who never smoked!.
Make it last a month or more and you can begin to call yourself an ex-smoker!. A year or more and you can pretend to be a non-smoker!.
Five to seven years after you quit your lungs should have healed enough to put you out of most of the dangers that come from smoking!.
I have been smoke-free long enough now (just under 36 years) to pretty much be out of danger of ill effects of smoking!.
And to you and all the other ex-smokers who responded--good luck and DON'T GIVE UP!!! It is well worth it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Right away is sufficient!. Why!? Because it is important to give yourself the "non smoker" mentality!. Although you may not feel you are a non smoker until you have quit for a few days, keep telling yourself you are a non smoker!. It can take weeks to make or break a habit, but smoking is a "mind over matter" habit!. The mental part is much harder than the physical aspects!. It is best if you don't give in, not even for one cigarette because you will go back to square one, but if you do give in, keep trying! Never give up! Call your local hospital and ask if they have smoking cessation classes, they are usually free!. There are tons of websites with support groups!. Check out this site: http://ezinearticles!.com/!?What-Happens-T!.!.!. It tells you what happens to your body after you quit smoking!. One day your lungs could return to nearly that of a NON SMOKER! Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
