Can laugh without coughing oh what a feeling

How good is it to actually have a good laugh without coughing or phelm getting stuck in your throat.Gotta keep focused and distract when needed.

Appreciate your encouraging comment. After 23 days (still counting) I have saved over $340, my teeth are no longer brown, I don't sound like I have emphysema when I breathe, people who know of my 46 year habit are thrilled & best of all I know I can win the war. Going cold turkey and not even bad tempered. Why would I be when the benefits are becoming clearer. It's good to share and support fellow quitters. I know my addiction (Margaret Thatcher) will suggest I reward myself every weekend but I have a well rehearsed response for "her".

Oh what a feeling indeed! Everyone deserves to be able to laugh freely. Well done!

One of my favourite experiences too, I would hesitate and try not to cough in fear of having a fit, but it doesn't happen and I just clear my throat and move on. I also used to hate to sneeze because I would lose my breath for awhile, now it's all good and I breathe normally after sneezing. Good luck to everyone.
