I didn't cough either when I quit even though I was coughing like crazy when I smoked. Like you, I kept expecting to cough up a bunch of gunk, but it never happened. I even asked my doc about it and she said this was normal.
Thanks Kathyjo and elwoodsf - funny thing is I coughed abit as well when I was smoking so I would have expected full blown coughing fits now as a sign that my lungs are being cleansed. Guess I am lucky! :-)
Elwoodsf - I was completely addicted as well. I smoked when I had a sore throat, when I was in hospital etc. Isn't it GREAT that we no longer need to rely on the cancer stick and allow our bodies to heal again? I feel such a sense of freedom and control again. If we can do this and succeed,we can do anything!
Hope you both have a lovely day! x
I have been quit for 4 Days, 9 hours, 49 minutes and 5 seconds (4 days). I have saved $61.72 by not smoking 88 cigarettes. I have saved 7 hours and 20 minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 30/03/2009 1:53 AM
I never went through the coughing phase when I quit. I too coughed when I was smoking. I have 70 some days of not smoking and I have the occasional dry cough. I hope you don't go through the coughing either. :)
Yuck, coughed when smoking! I was so addicted I wouldn't stop smoking the cig. even if I was coughing. Again, YUCK! :)
Some people do, and some don't, I wouldn't worry. I smoked for 38 years and only coughed when I was smoking. Consider yourself lucky Angelina : ) Congrats to you!
