What Specific Health Effects Does Smoking Have On Women?

Women smokers experience the entire  consequences of smoking that men do such as bigger risk of a variety of cancers like lung cancer, mouth cancer, larynx cancer, pharynx cancer, esophagus cancer, kidney cancer, pancreas cancer etc, and respiratory diseases, but as women we need to know about the various smoking-related health and fitness risks which are uniquely and distinctively ours. Women who smoke are always at elevated or higher risk for a number of severe and serious health harms, counting heart disease and lung cancer than those women who do not smoke. Women smokers are 12 times further or more probable to die from lung cancer than the women who do not smoke, and they are ten times more expected to die from bronchitis and emphysema.

Whereas the lives of all women smokers are always at risk, post-menopausal women and women on birth-control pills lead the pack in succumbing to smoking-related diseases that can go on to death. A few researches have discovered that women might be more vulnerable to the addictive properties of nicotine and they have a slower metabolic clearance of nicotine from their bodies than  men. In addition, women seem to be further at risk or vulnerable to the effects of tobacco carcinogens than  men.

I am going to be 42 in a couple of months. I was allowed to start smoking when I was 12, my dad's philosophy was "If you are going to smoke, then I would rather you do it here at home."
So, cigarettes were bought for me and the other smokers in the house! Here I am. I have emphysema, early emphysema. Here is the description of it:
A condition characterized by air-filled expansions of body tissues.: a condition of the lung marked by abnormal enlargement of the alveoli with loss of pulmonary elasticity that is characterized especially by shortness of breath and may lead to impairment of heart action.

I have to use an inhaler to open my lungs up right now, when I wake up sometimes, when I do anything strenuous, walk for any length of time, say a mile. This is going to get worse as time goes on.
There isn't any turning back. I'm still trying to quit, and I have gone from 2 packs a day, down to 1/2 a pack. I need help with it because I'm so addicted to the stupid thing. I don't like that I get angry if I can't have a cigarette.
My children are going to have to look at me with a rubber hose attached to my face, just so that I can have a little better chance at getting a little more oxygen.
My lungs are taking up all the space that they can. My stomach is being pushed outward, it hurts. I am a skinny person, and this looks very ODD, because you can see where my ribs end, and my stomach is starting to bulge.
I don't have the smokers lines around my lips, maybe because I am not that old, but I think that if I don't quit soon, I'm going to get them. I can't run 100 ft. without being TOTALLY out of breath.
If I was out for a walk, like I do 3 days a week to get my daughter from school, and had to run, I wouldn't be able to run for any distance and not have something left in me to protect her if the need arises.
We live with the danger of moose and bears walking right up to our door. Anchorage Ak. The snow gets so deep sometimes that it takes me 20 minutes to get her to school sometimes instead of 10.
I can't play many of the games that I want to with her, because of these darn things. I have lost so much in my life because of this.
I'm crying now, because of this question, I want to quit smoking more than ever. I heard that there is a new medicine out there that is doing wonders. I think I'm going to call tomorrow morning, and see how soon they will be able to see me.
I THOUGHT IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN TO ME!!!!!!!!! If someone quits early enough then the lungs can heal relatively well, but it takes more than 6 years, to quit hacking up junk, or to make the lungs a bit stronger, and it takes years of work to make them stronger.
