Hi, Alexandra. Nice to see you posting here again (too).
IMO, if you could crack the puzzle of quitting smoking, it would be a great gift to be able to give yourself. I'm a moderate couch potato with bouts of yoga, dancing, and hiking, so someone who has devoted themselves to the gym as you have is great to hear. Who knows what you might achieve with clear lungs and increased breathing capacity? (Plus I'll admit to being truly biased, having lost multiple family members to smoking related diseases. I never want that to happen to anyone else.)
I also think that smoking cessation requires support beyond our own good intentions. Just a strong will is often not enough to break that incredible bond of nicotine to our bodies and minds.
Take care,
