I am 68 years old and smoked for 57 years.I loved to smoke and wouldn't have quit for any reason.My lungs were in good shape,so I figured myself in good health smokewise. In July 2009 I was diagnosed with stage 3 bladder cancer.On the morning of August 31st I smoked my last cigarette walking across the street to the hospital.Although I am trying to recover from a botched operation I am still smoke free, but sorely tempted sometimes.More about smoking and bladder cancer later.........blooker.
