Good going. Cigs wreak and they are, as you know, very effective killing machines. My mother, father, brother, aunt, uncle died of lung cancer.
I'm 59, my fathers age when he died.
Before I made my choice for ecigs I was breathing heavily going up one flight of stairs. Every night when I went to bed I would cough so hard for ten minutes I thought I would have a stroke. Both resolved in a week but it will take my body a long time to gradually recover. Yours too.
I wanted to mention that if you google quit smoking forum they are very supportive there. Many there, except the owner of that forum, hate ecigs. That's their problem but otherwise they are good peeps doing the right thing.
People keep smoking because of nicotine but the carcinogens in smoke are what kills you. Nicotine induced cancer is as far as I know, non-existent.
Try to work in some walking and meditation. The cravings only last about a minute so distract yourself. Breathe deep.

I quit for a year once cold turkey, it's the most effective way.
But I back you 1000% and I know you can do it. My uncle used cinnamon sticks to help him quit.One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.
