 I went to the ER, thank God I'm at 98% lung capacity. 
Was your oxygen level at 98% (that little thing they put on your finger) or did the ER actually send you for testing  where you have to blow into a device?

They did both, and both said 98%. I didn't know they measured different things.

I will say a prayer for all wannabee square living people.

    A relative of mine was in his mid 20s, doing drugs, smoking of course, plus a diet of junkfoods, sweets etc.  So he didn't think about his health...just abuse after abuse.  Then one day, while in a far country, his body shut down. He barely made it back to Civilization, saw a doctor - Doc said: 'According to the blood results, I can't believe you are still alive...' He said the blood was black and thick...full of parasites (much before the Cocovid scamdemic btw.)

   Immediately my relative changed diet and is now a foreman on construction sites. He understood the natural benefits of wholesome diets, choose between life or death;  now he still needs to discover the spiritual realm of life :pray:.

The oxymeter that you put on your finger measures the amount of oxygen in your blood.  The deeper you breath the higher the reading.  Perfect is 100% all the time...normal is 96 to 100, low but still acceptable is 90 to 94 but not desirable... HOWEVER saturation fluctuates with activity, sleeping etc. You can buy battery operated oxymeters for home use.
Lung function tests on the other hand are not done in the ER and take about one hour and measure the condition of your lungs.

I am a former smoker. Congratulations for quitting, this is excellent news for your health, but also for your friends and for your family as well.

Don't worry, there is never "nothing left to do". Read the Bible, read the Catechism, pray to God, do the Rosary every day. If you have the time, read a good biography written on a Saint that you like.

Read about your country's history and the legacy from your ancestors. Even if they are not Catholic, there is often something worthwhile in it. Keep the good, get rid of the bad.

Even if most living people in 2026 are fools who forgot God, we have access to infinite knowledge on the internet. We are quite privileged to be able to read the works of any theologian of our choice , at any time of the day.

Once you get started on doing something worthwhile, it's quitting that becomes hard!
I have not run out of great audiobooks to listen to, thanks to catholicharboroffaithandmorals.com I have endless reading material. What I mean is a career, jobs, new movies to go to, pointless stuff like that. That was my life growing up, and my parents' and theirs, and everyone else's in America. I have decided that stuff is pointless but on a worldwide scale most people are still in that programming, and there's nothing for them. That's why I chose nicotine when I was 13 in the first place.

This ties into what Twice dyed just replied.

About the ER, they offered me nicotine patches and I refused. I couldn't rest and was blowing blood into tissues.I don't care if it was the smoke or not which did that. I did tests until 1am, they gave me immune steroids and I was fine.
