I’ve smoked since I was 14. It was cool then. Now, 13 years later, mother of 2 & currently In the best fittness of my life aside from my 15 smokes a day…found myself coughing..a week later hacking..sooner I was wheezing and feeling horrible. RED FLAG- ended up getting a chest x-ray- “advanced pneumonia”- felt like the flu & I still wanted to smoke even tho It hurt so bad. I haven’t smoked since 2 pm yesterday. I’ve been waiting for this opportunity & I’ve got every reason to take it and run-without loosing my breath . Good luck and health to everyone out there. Wish me luck as well. -Kudos

I have been off them for 17 days now after 23 years. At the end of the first week I rewarded myself with a top that I wanted to get but couldnt afford as I was spending the money on cigerrettes at £8 a packet!!!! I have noticed the lack of concentration and restless sleep. Its hard but I dont want to die young so have to get through the short term side effects

I just made it through day 21 after 6 years of being addicted to those damn cancer sticks. I feel so much better mentally and physically. For everyone out there thinking about quitting, I say go for it and try not to use patches or gum. Quitting 100% cold turkey is the only real way to break away from smoking. Just remember who you are quitting for, a child, a spouse, a friend, in my case my father who quit with me since they found nodules in his lungs, but the person you are truly quitting for is yourself. Good luck

Wow! Still aggressive at 8 weeks! Its all worth it but I had really hoped for better tolerance by then. I appreciate the heads up as now I have to admit this is a longer process than I imagined. I will win regardless.

Day 16 here for a 41 year old 3/4 pack a day since I was 15. My breathing is amazing. I ran a mile and a 1/2 last night with out stopping. I had not run in years but the lack of sleep made me yearn to burn off some energy. I have not sleept well since I quit with the exception of a 12 hour sleep last Sat. I probably got 7 hours of actual sleep so give it a try. Smell has come back but not taste. I jhave been the biggest jerk of my life but the world will have to deal until I am my old self. The 4 kids are getting the worst of it but the wife who has never smoked understands. I will make it!!!
