Congrats on the weight loss
I'll give you a little incentive to quit smoking...
The NRC states that someone working in a nuclear based industry is allowed a maximum of 2 REM of radiation a year to central cavity (ie, chest and abdomen) and head.
Smoking a pack and a half of cigarettes per day for one year will net you 8 REM of radiation to your lungs, 4 times what the NRC allows.
There's one of your major reasons why heavy smokers end up getting Lung Cancer.
Add to this, the lethal dose where 50% of the people subjected to it die (this is at one time, not over time) is 400 REM. At a pack and a half per day at 20 years, someone would have taken 160 REM in that time period to their lungs directly.
And yes, my goal is to scare the shit out of you about smoking
