I normally smoke 20-30 cigs a day for around 3 years i'm 18, And i'm going cold turkey, I really want to join the army and Be the Best, no place for cigs.
I've removed all the cigs/ashtrays from my room, Family all smoke though,
Since i've woke up this morning, I feel flem coming up from my lungs into my throat, weird (o.0) :cool:

To give yourself the best chance of achieving sucess do exactly what Margareth says , read up on the addiction your trying to break away from .
You find will a great online quit program on the ffsonline.org , i highly recommmend stepping through this .....it was a great help in my quit!
Removing all ashtrays etc is a great move .....Going cold turkey isnt easy , drink plenty of cold water when you get cravings I used to eat a piece of fruit in the first few days , some people like to have sweets or something to replace the smoking.
Try and keep yourself occupied , dont be sitting about waiting for the cravings to come.
yeah your lungs will have to do a clear out at some stage , so you can expect to cough up some of the badness that has been in your body!
Well done on your decision to quit. I smoked for 20 years before I saw the light so you're already doing really well in deciding to quit now. It's a tough first 10 days or so but after that becomes much easier. I'm lucky that no-one smokes around me or in ym house so I hope you'll be ok giving up amongst smokers but I'm fine now surrounded by smoking friends or walking past the pub.
It's all about mentality really. Use anything that helps you stop and just keep holding on every day and you'll do fine.
