Phillip- do I ever know what you mean about the lung-craving thing and the almost unbroken chain of craves related to that.
It makes no sense; physiologically, one would think the lungs would be in ecstacy. I can only speculate that by subjecting them to tar, nicotine and God knows what else for so long and so severely, they have adapted to handle it as best as they can, and now aren't prepared to handle "just air". For me, it is getting slightly better, but I sure have my days.
Hang in there, I am definitely with you in this. It's going to be a long road, I think and hoping for a quicker resolution is probably, for me at least, naive.
