That's good for them. I hope they got away from that without any cognitive impairment. I know two people that went that route, kicked the habit and they are measurably less smart and prone to forget stuff than they were when they started, and that's not just age related decline. To be fair though, they were pretty heavy users.
I agree. There are definitely anecdotal cognitive impairments. My memory was never the same and I smoked heavily for only about 5 years.
