Anyone stopped smoking?

BringMeMyFix Top end speed didn't change, or endurance, as far as I could tell.

Big difference is RECOVERY. After any kind of effort before, I'd be gasping for both air and a fag for about 15mins. Now it tends to be a couple of deep breaths and I'm fine (with the exception of roller racing and competitive hillclimbing).

I was reading through the thread thinking that stopping smoking hadn't done much for my fitness when I read this and realised that I have the same experience as BMMF. By the time I stopped I'd cut down significantly so maybe that's a factor. I quit about two years ago after smoking for since I was 13 and am very happy about it.
