(no my OC, I am attempting to help spread this that I saw first on https://programming.dev/post/33666663 because I think it helps to know that it is not too late to make changes even for major things like smoking and our health!)

Between 5-15 years after you stop smoking, stroke risk is reduced to that of a non-smoker.

Is this not a tautological statement?

    Depends on your school of thought around addiction. Some people believe that once you have been a smoker that you're forever more an addict.

    I agree with you though. 5 years without smoking you're probably not going back.

    I stopped smoking 10 years ago. Once in a blue moon I'll subconsciouly reach for the non-exsistent pack on the table, catch myself and laugh, whilst thinking about the money I've saved.
