Jsnyder, congrats on your weight loss too!
My quitting was on the advice of my doctor, which led to the pleading of my wife, that if I wanted to live longer than my father (he died in 2017 at the age of 61), I needed to quit smoking and drinking right away. Some heart issues were noticed, including high blood pressure and a "mechanical" issue with my heart, possibly the start of AFIB or a faulty valve.
I've been feeling a lot better, but miss the smoking and drinking sometimes, especially after a stressful day.
