That's because ex-smokers have far more experience of the downsides of smoking, we've had the chest infections, stinking clothes, watched our money go up in flames, listened to endless whining from non-smokers and put ourselves through at least a couple of months of hell by stopping smoking, I'd say we've more of a right to bitch than someone who's never smoked.
I said I had tried hard, not that I succeeded

- it was a very scarey chest infection that finally convinced me, but it is the other things, like the smell and the amount of dust & general filth, that I notice more than anything, has improved. To an extent the improvement in my lungs has almost been taken for granted
