I smoked for 35 years and then quit cold turkey in the summer of 2015. Even though I had no symptoms I asked for a bunch of tests including eventually a chest xray and was diagnosed after quitting smoking with lung cancer in my early 50s.

If I had a long standing therapist who smoked I would have made my peace with it but dont' think I could take a new therapist who smoked. I never liked the smell of stale cigarettes and their addiction would be something that weighed on my mind. I also don't think I could go to a morbidly obese therapist or someone who I thought had another drug or alcohol addiction.
