cb, cutting back won't help. Quitting is the only thing, and then it takes between 10 and 25 years for your lungs to get back to normal, depending on how long and hard you smoked before quitting. Been there, done that. 26 years ending with 3 packs a day. I quit cold turkey in Feb., 1981 with some help from friends and family. A support structure is critical to quitting instead of just postponing for a while. Part of my problem was (and is) an oral fixation that substituted eating for smoking. Been up and down from 265 when I quit smoking to 365 to 218 to 350 to 280 and now 350. Please try. It may be the hardest thing you have ever done, but pink lungs are much better than grey lungs. 2 years after quitting, I was still able to forcibly exhale a small puff of smoke residue from my non-smoking lungs.
