Quitting Smoking

Both the wife and I need to quit, and since we've tried to quit at the same time before, and THAT REALLY SUCKED, I took the plunge first.

Haven't had a cigarette since last night. I've quit several times in the past, sometimes for up to three months - quitting ain't the problem - it's staying quit that kicks my ass.

Any advice on non-smoking methods/products or encouragement would be appreciated.

Good luck, Fraz.

If I can quit, anybody can. Hang tough.

I gained weight when I quit smoking, body chemistry changes. Eat a lot of apples, carrot sticks & celery-crunchy, hi-fiber stuff. More satisfaction per calorie. Plus, like the old Volkswagen ads said, you're not 'farfrompoopen'.

When I had that 'something is missing' feeling, I'd go outside and just take some deep breaths. You've been doing 'deep breathing exercises' thru a cigareet for years now...nobody said you had to quit the deep breathing, just stop doing it thru a filter-tip. It helped me, YMMV, of course. It's one way to keep taking 'smoke breaks' for a while. Just don't go hang with the other smokers. You're no longer part of the herd, and they'll smell the difference and shun you. Odd, but true.

Get a couple of these, and take one to work, put one by the remote, etc...

Hang in there. Alot of people have the sore throat after smoking. Try the cough drops. Helps sooth the cilia.

About a month after I quit and the tar-phlem started to come out of my lungs I got a chest cold. I heard the same from a friend.

I think the stress of quitting + lungs cleaning themselves out + normal germ contact = getting sick.

Once you've been quit 2 months stick with it, the hard part's over...

Yeah, that might be it. Coughing and hacking all over the place.

Your 'celia', the little hairs that move the goo up and down the windpipe are all burned out. They'll come back someday, but what's happening now is pretty standard.

Just pretend you're a West Coast offense 'guru' and Hackett up.
