Hi Guys.

I quit smoking 15 days before . Now I’m feeling very sick , loss of energy , coughing , short of breath , headache etc . Is it the part of process to have these symptoms after quit smoking or not ? Any suggestion would be highly appreciated . I’m very much concerned about it now. I had been smoking for last 10 years and really don’t wanna touch the cigarettes again in my life .

Good on you for quitting so early in life i think it's safe to say that it's all part of the healing process you may have been a heavy smoker? re shortness of breath but i think you'll happily find it'll pass in the next days and your breathing will improve your wise in giving up early stick with it I've smoked on and off for the past four years after having quit after ten years on with several years break smoking intermittently I've recently ceased for i felt like I'd smoked my lungs they weren't absorbing oxygen very well i too am greatly distressed as i were using fifty rollies a day for three months having used a lot of pot in younger years also I've been smoke free for a ftnght or more and still suffering chest pains I'm concerned i may have pleurisy so good on you for quitting early you should make a good recovery all the best

Dear Mo99, Congratulations for making the right choice. I have been smoke free for the past 45 days. It was only a bit difficult the first day. Don't think of the withdrawal symptoms. Just focus on your success and that you won't give up. This is a false friend making you think that you can't so your body will give you pain. Just relax don't think of yourself as smoker. Think of the positive things you are rewarding to yourself and your beloved ones. Take shower again and again. Ice cubes, lollipops and the like may help. Keep yourself busy and relaxed. Above all from the very minute you decide to quit, keep on track of your success minute after a minute, hour after an hour, day after day, week after a week, month after a month...

The trick is it is very easy when you know that you don't want to be slave for a false friend and you want to be a slave for your own health and the love and safety of the people around you, who matter most for you... you will never have a slip up. Keep on focused because it is like a terrorist. It doesn't want you to go easily unless it makes sure it kills you piece by piece.
