In 1968 I was smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day --not unusual for a student of the time. Then, in 1970, my best friend consented to marry me on the condition that I quit cigarettes. My plan was to take up the pipe --which was hard-- and I succeeded. I considered it a first step toward tapering off tobacco, and she could stand the smell. That was step #1 of my plan to quit. 48 years later, I am still on step #1. My wife only allows me to smoke in the great outdoors, and I suppose that is progress. Point is, if you quit now you'll avoid the worry when your E.N.T Dr. finds "suspicious cells" in your pharnyx. Not out of the woods yet.
