Quite the opposite, I have to much iron. So much its virtually cut my life expectancy by 30 years.

And I use to smoke...alot, till about 2 weeks ago.

Hi Neel- -
Congratulations quitting smoking!

You must have Hemochromatosis? My brother had that, and he was a heavy smoker too. I don't know if that would add iron to your system, but smoking aggravates everything, so quitting can only improve your health now.
Good luck!
