Hi all well day 17 and i am feeling it today have not stopped coughing i can feel it all clearing out of my chest and not using my asthma pump much today but ergh i feel yuk...

Hoping the cough does not last long not to sure if its because of smoking or just beacause i have caught one of many bugs going around.

Well other than that i feel ok - my work partner lit up whilst on lunch today in front of me and to be honest i was not that bothered, she really stunk of smoke when she got back in the car and i felt good as i thougt to myself i dont smell like that anymore and i have saved £150 in 17 days.....

Something to smile about for a change...

Hipe you all having a stress free day and thinking about the demons too much xxxxx

i found that even if i do get a bug now my cough will only be a fraction of what i had as a smoker - one of the things i most noticed after i quit was how quiet it was now i wasn't coughing all the way down the street in the mornings!!

best of luck on your quit!!

Yep, I had a hacking cough for a few days at the beginning. But the complete lack of cough now is possibly the best thing about the quit for me. I hadn't realised how much I was coughing before, until I stopped. I used to wake in the night coughing, wake up coughing, cough all evening, cough whenever I ran anywhere... agh, what was I doing to myself?!

me too, coughed a lot early on, but no longer. Even better, I can take a deep deep breath without going into a coughing fit. Lungs feel clear. Life is good!!!!!!!!!!!

My coughing got WAY worse for the first week then got slowly better for 2 weeks following. This week I am hardly coughing at all. I think it just takes some time to clear years of accumulated crud out.

i didnt really cough to much but i was having chest pain when i took deep breaths and yawning and stuff and within 1 week of my quit it was totally gone so whenever i think about having a smoke i take a deep breathe and remember how it used to hurt when i smoked and how it doesnt hurt anymore:cool: ahhhhh...the benefits... hope you feel better and happy about your choice to quit smoking makes ya feel good when ya see how much money you are saving and that you dont stink like smoke anymore all the best!!!
