Any ex-smokers?

Well, I'm approaching the 2-year anniversary of the day I smoked my last cigarette. Quitting smoking was among the most difficult things I've ever accomplished -- I averaged better than 2 packs/day for many years.

While I have no regrets about my decision, I'm surprised by the "results". I know that I'm healthier for quitting -- that's just common sense, but I don't really feel any different. My weight has stayed constant, my stamina seems about the same (I've always hiked and biked), my senses of taste and smell seem unchanged -- not what I expected.

Has anyone else noticed significant physical changes after quitting, or is my experience status quo?
