I just have to tell you what quiting cigarettes meant for me. About 6 years ago, I had 3 stents inserted in my chest. Two years ago and only 3 days after I’ve stopped smoking, I had another angiogram and 2 more stents were fitted in my heart arteries or veins, and one in my leg. A month later my VO2 max (see Wikipedia) was tested and found to be “fair”. Today, 2 years later, I was tested again and my VO2 max now is 149% of what is normal for a person of my age and built!!! I was classed as “super fit” by the cardiologist!! I only have to see him again in a year’s time. I must admit that I started training much harder since the stents were inserted by riding my bikes more often. But, because I could breathe easier, I started enjoying the training more and more and it became fun. I’m so happy, also because I could proof to my wife now that snuffing is not effecting my health at all. I know smoking is nice, especially cigars and pipe, but after what I’ve experienced today, I never ever want to smoke again. And I can still ENJOY my tobacco by snuffing. I LOVE SNUFF. Cheers Pieter
