I have now been a non smoker for 4 months but as yet have not seen any of the health benefits I expected. In fact I have had a terrible cough, congestion and a chest infection which persists after 4 weeks and 2 courses of antibiotics. My Doctor thinks the symptoms are a result of my body trying to recover from 35 plus years of smoking. I now have an inhaler to assit clearing my airway especially at night when at most I can only manage 4 hours sleep before I wake coughing. I will be interested if anyone has sufferd a similar experience.
