How much damage have I done to my lungs?

From my understanding, the greater period of time that has passed since smoking, the better your chances of beating major health problems from smoking. The English study concluded that risk is reduced by over 90% when quitting by age 30. Do what you want with that result (you might want to even look up the study), but there is still a danger (maybe close to 10%).

Are you suggesting that study concluded that 10 percent of youthful smokers who quit by age 30 suffered serious consequences later on?

. Thus, youthful smoking is treated with a high degree of suspicion in my book. The burden is on you to show me that youthful smoking is NOT dangerous.

It's not treated with a high degree of suspicion in my book. And until you present evidence that shows there actually is a significant risk to youthful smoking, it will remain that way.

Do your own research, HeyCal! The best of luck. -Tina

Why? I have an opinion based on my knowledge and experience -- that youthful smoking is not particularly dangerous -- and am satisfied with it. Now if someone wants to provide some data that proves me wrong, go ahead. It's possible it's extremely dangerous and I'm wrong about this, but until someone can actually demonstrate this to me, I don't see any reason to question my opinion.
