Hi,
I quit smoking 4 years ago and started having problems 2 & 1/2 to 3
years ago. I didn't restart since I had only heard it delays onset. I
am 31 so the age/smokers thing is probably just part of the anti-tobbaco
lobby. Would be interested to know how many others quit smoking before
onset, and how long before onset (onset not necessarilly diagnosis...I
was not DXed until this past Dec.)
