Untreated Lung Cancer
April 27th, 2010
I''m 35 and smoked steady for about 15 years, pack a day at least. I plan on combining my stopping with starting to run & join an adult sports league of some sorts. I figure ''measurable'' results would be a good motivator to stay quit.

Can I expect to see an increase in stamina as I run more/get in better shape or are my lungs bound to heal over time regardless of what I do?
