Question for anyone woh has quit smoking? -


did you feel better once you quit, everyone i have asked that has quit said they feel about the same. just curious i would like to quit soon.
What you heard is generally true. After the first two weeks when you-re basically cured you are not going to feel some kind of overwhelming higher state of health. But I don-t think that-s the reason you should quit smoking besides the fact that smoking will eventually kill you and possibly kill your loved ones around you. I cite a story where a Hollywood writer smoked for 20 years with his best friend and cowriter in the same office. His best friend did not smoke but ended up getting lung cancer. I believe one of the biggest things and benefits from quitting smoking is not stinking. Most of the time you don-t realize this and most people won-t tell you but when you walk up to them after smoking a cigarette you stink like hell. The other thing I would like you to think about is what do you do with your cigarette butts. I find in general that most smokers are unconscious as they flipp their cigarette butts out of their car windows, onto the street or throw them down on the ground and sometimes squash them out. If you become conscious about your cigarette butts you may realize that you are quite a trashy person even though you wouldn-t think of throwing the wrapper from a hamburger on the ground or generally throw your trash out your car window. When you quit smoking you will hack out tons of brown crap for about a month after you quit. Think about that stuff accumulating year after year inside your lungs. Do the math you will be saving a lot of money. The first step in quitting is never buy your favorite brand again. Never buy the same brand again when you switch. This method immediately reduces the pleasure of smoking and sends you on your way in the right direction. Also don-t beat yourself up if you slip backwards in your practice of quitting smoking. What the experts say is quitting smoking is a matter of practicing quitting. Just like playing a musical instrument, just like playing golf, just like making love. The more you practice the better you get at it. This works the same way in quitting smoking the more times you practice quitting eventually you become such an expert at practicing quitting it will happen.
i quit a little over a year ago...cold turkey. i felt much better. more energy, less headaches and the biggest improvement i noticed was my skin!!! before i quit smoking, everytime i laughed i went into a coughing fit...no more now. i rarely get out of breath. i feel much better. the key to quitting is to exercise. good luck.
i felt like **** for a few months
Please quit. I quit about several months ago. The first month was hard with the psychological addiction and just the habit of having a smoke at certain times. Now I feel much better. I can actually breath and don-t get winded when I exercise. My skin looks healthier and I have lost the 10 lbs I put on.

I started putting the $$$ I spent on smokes in a jar and now have almost $1000. I am going to use it for a vacation!
