Do you think as an adult who has smoked since being a teenager that we have forgotten what our mind and body feels like without the poison.

It is so sad that we addicted as teenagers, once we are hooked we get used to how things taste and smell, it is not until you finally stop, and are happy to be free, that you feel good about your hands, hair, teeth, taste buds and breathing. I never thought I had fag breath or stunk that bad, but now be stopped for nearly a year I realise I did pong.

Having grown up in a family of heavy smokers, I don't think my body has ever know what it is to be toxin free. This should be an adventure!
