Dear Not a Fitness Expert:
One of your responses really caught my attention. You said tar causes permanent lung damage even after one stops smoking. I always thought I could be like a non-smoker again one day. can you explain the permanent damage and what effect it has on my health? I smoked for 4 years (approx 3/4 pack/day) and recently quit. Thanks.
