Hey I'm a 24 year old female. I have been dealing with anxiety since my teens and health anxiety specifically for a couple of months. Taking a medical pathology class for my optometry progarm is my main trigger.
I used to smoke hookah in college for a couple of years. I recently learned that hookah is way way worse than cigarettes and am now scared. I used to be so proud of myself because I have never smoked a cigarette, but now I feel so guilty because hookah is the equivalent of many many cigarettes. I smoked several times a week at my worst. I have no symptoms of lung problems however I am very concerned about my carcinogen exposure. Is it possible for my lungs to heal since I quit?
I am also concerned about my boyfriend. He is 23 and has been smoking about a pack a day for about 5 years. He occasionally smoked hookah in college. He still smokes cigarettes and I am trying to get him to quit. I am very very concerned about his future risk of lung disease and cancer.
What do you think of my future risk of lung disease? I never plan on exposing myself to smoking again. And what do you think about my boyfriend's risks if he does quit?
