I quit smoking 4 months ago, and I have been sick 5 times. Once the flu and the rest colds. Is this normal? -
Very natural specially if you-ve quit during the fall and winter seasons.
You-re on the correct path and your body is proof and telling you that we are expelling the **** that has entered the body through smoking etc.
Getting the flu or cold is an indication that your immune system is working heavy and it is expelling some of the toxins out of the body. It-s like sweating during an exercise.
Well done on quiting smoking.
im just guessing ur body is getting used to the nicotine absence. somehow the nicotine and other toxic in the cigarette maintains ur bodies antibodies and immune system, thus by removing that, the body thinks u are safe and thus lowers the immune system. and then u easily get the flu and cold. dont worry, its nothing, but if u keep on having the cold, try seeing ur GP, he might give u some drugs/antibodies maybe some nicotine patches might work.
yes becuz your body is adjusting to no ciggies. you will be fine!
