How long after you quit does it take for your insides to look better?

Varies according to how much smoke done-gone-in and for how long.
One thing is for certain, things start improving immediately. Just some
things may not get completely repaired.

Well, I quit smoking 21 years ago. Best think I ever did, and I hope
my lungs are nice and pink again.

But all these stupid laws making it a crime for people to smoke --
OUTSIDE, now, for chrissakes -- is just sickening.

I was visiting a friend at the hospital last week, and noticed that
they have now banned smoking OUTSIDE the hospital. All these poor
people, some in wheel chairs, must now push themselves OFF HOSPITAL
PROPERTY to have a smoke!

Un-friggin'-believeable. How did this kind of society develop when we
weren't looking? Big Brother really is now EVERYWHERE.

I have been a RN for 16 yrs and I do smoke. Few times in 12 to14 hr
shift I go outside and have one. I am a hard worker, loyal, and have
seldom called in. I have a problem when I have to pay, with my tax
dollars, for pt's healthcare that have completely milked the
healthcare system,,,,,,,inc me as a RN!!! The people that are on
welfare / passport are the pt's that run me ragged....."They think
they have some entitlelment!!!"....,to order me around!!! I am tax
paying US citizen....NOW!!! I have the illegals also mutching off of
me, and they too, run me around as if I am a waitress, Even if I
explain I had someone very sick and I had to help them first, they get
attitude about how their soda took too long to get to them. I have
pt's that are on dialaysis that leave the the hospital, get high, and
return.....and DEMAND!!! their pain meds.......Dr's and all know
it..........IT IS SICKENING....Now they tell me I can't go outside,
without walking the distance of a football field, to have a
cigarette!!!!!!! MY GOD!!!! It is not illegal!!! I am a adult, and I
do know it is not at all healthly.....I would even pay 10 times the
healthcare premiums that non smokers pay......I realise it causes
copd........BUT I am getting to the point I am getting VERY
bitter........Probably nicotine w/d:-) Help!!! This nurse about ready
to give up the heatlhcare system all together!!! Are there any other
nurses out that agree?
