Quiting smoking...

[Technonotice]

Right day three is over and I've resisted the temptation to smoke. I have developed a very dry cough(from what a doctor told me once (this is due to the hairs in your lungs getting rid of the toxic spit etc). When i walk to and from work the cough gets so bad I have puked up my breakfast/lunch on the pavement on more than one occasion. Most of the time I just puke a small amount, IE the cup of tea I've had earlier..

anyone had this before?

cheers

Nope, but you've made another entry in the reasons not to quit box for me

Feck. Have you thought about using some sort of therapy to help? May make the process easier.

Get some patches...

there is not much you can do for the cough apart from try your hardest not to go back on the fags...


Keep it up, the coughing doesn't last too long..

I gave up about a month ago and feel really well for it - I had a cough too which yes, was sometimes so bad I thought I was going to be sick.

Saw a sight today though that made me realise it is worthwhile. Walked past a parked car and for some reason noticed the driver was obviously on an oxygen supply (pipe under nose and tanks in the back) - what had he in his hand? Yep, a lit fag - some people never learn.

I had this, it does get better, I found taking a small bottle of water with me & sipping it when I thought I was going to cough everything up helped a lot

They don't, do they... pure oxygen makes the fag burn really fast and it tastes crap. Much better to smoke them with normal air.

Coughing should disappear after 2 weeks- just stick at it...
