RE: Risk vs B+W
There are numerous articles concerning reduction of risk after cessation of
smoking. Search PubMed and NIH for articles. For a start try
1990 Report of the Surgeon General and
Health Benefits of smoking cessation, J.M. Samet, ClinChestMed 1991,
Dec;12(4);669-679.

I have been searching for data that demonstrates the recuperative power of
the lung; similar to the statement made here. Can anyone point me to the
data source.
Thanks

...A person who smokes for several years then quits will have a decreasing
chance of lung cancer. After 10 years of non-smoking the cancer risk is
indistinguishable from background. A person who smokes only 1.5 cigarettes
in a life time has no added cancer risk.
