A Question about women's bra size - guys' shirt size
Have any of you ladies or gentlemen noticed your upper body garments fitting more loosely since you quit smoking?
When I was working for an Oregon sheriff’s dept, the sergeant I trained under for self defense tactics made a comment in class that cigarette smokers had barrel chests …… that their lungs swelled and darkened with damage which made their ribs bones stretch to accommodate them.
Secondly, my little Pippin (my Yorkshire terrier) was born with an enlarged heart, and his ribs stretched to accommodate his larger heart. (teeny dog with a broad chest)
So here’s the funny thing: I noticed that now when I get dressed, I have to fasten my bra in its tightest position. So I’m wondering if since I quit smoking a couple of years ago, my lungs have healed back to normal size and the flexible ribs are repositioning to their original placement.
Just curious to see if anyone else has noticed a difference – male or female.
Please and thank you.
