I recently quit smoking and I'm very proud of myself because it was the hardest thing I have ever done. Now that I think I'm in the clear from going back to it, I'm wondering if my lungs will undue the damage I have done to them and how long it will take. I smoked for about 19 years.

My doctor's nurse tells me that my x-ray is substantially different from previous x-rays. My history of cancer is uterine. I have been previously diagnosed with asthma and "minor" emphysema.

I have been battling mild breathing problems for the last 4 months. Started with bronchitis, but problems have persisted. My dr said "you have a touch of asthma & it's making your symptoms last longer. Breathing problems can last 6 months after bronchitis in people with asthma".

If you have asthma, I'd like to know what it FEELS like. What are real symptoms you experience? I've looked at sites, I know what they say. I'm looking for human input.

I am 38 & smoke. Please don't respond to preach about emphysema/smoking, (although some can't help themselves). He did every test under the sun including chest xrays & blood work for cadiovascular disease, because I went in telling him I thought I had emphysema & was going to die.

I don't have emphysema - he said so all 3 times I called & had him recheck my xrays (ugh). I don't have chronic bronchitis (had it once). I am quitting though, because he said smoking with the asthma will make symptoms worse. I am asking about asthma.

It's typical of smokers to react the way you have. I did say I was a smoker so I know what it's like, to say it's the same as alcohol is ridiculous, if I drink in front of you you don't inhale the alcohol fumes or go home smelling of alochol, and yes I do wash my clothes when they don't smell of nicotine, but I don't have my coat cleaned every time I go out!!!!

I used to smoke so know what it's like to be addicted, also know that you can quit, but why are smokers unable to see what their smoking does to the rest of us. I know that as from the 1st July smoking is banned in public places but it really makes me cross when smokers tell me that it is their right to smoke in front of me. Not only do I have to inhale their excess smoke but go home with my clothes smelling so much I have to hang it outside before I wash it. Why are they so selfish that they mind this ban. Would appreciate some of the smokers out there telling me why I should put up with their habit, and don't tell me that I can drink elsewhere if I don't like smoking because the answer to that is, why should I.

I`m a smoker. And i cant see why there are so many laws the try and stop ppl from smoking. I have never heard of a family torn apart because of smoking. I have however heard of a family torn apart because of alcohol. So i say if smokers are gonna be forced to stop then drunks should be forced to stop drinking. The damage done by alcohol is far worse than the damage done by smoke.

My 2 year old grandaughter got ahold of a felt pen and unfortunately coloured her teeth with it. How can we safely remove her "work of art"?

Also, if she swallows some of the ink (which I'm sure has already happened) is it harmful?
