How long does the coughing last?

Stay strong! Go see a doctor if the cough persists...

until shit clears in the air valves

It's nice to smell my clothes and have them smell clean or to kiss my lady and not have her say "You smell like an ashtray!".

good man!

i'm nearly 2 month with ecigs now

congrats :thumbsup

congrats! would taking something like mucinex help?

It keeps getting better the longer you are off cigs. Stay quit the first time because it's too damn hard to quit the second time.

It goes away...keep it up man. If you are fit enough work out or jog. Lots o water.

get some e-cigs

Coughing is a good sign, get rid of all the crap in your lungs :)

congrats man, but, does it really makes you better? i mean, do you feel better than everyone around you? i know you feel now superman, but, you are, you know, you are ... just you are not smoking ... but, wish you best :thumbsup

The coughing will go away soon enough.

Then it will all be worth it!

15 years here

the urge to smoke goes away weather you smoke or not and make a note in your calander, 6 months... you'll be bat shit crazy

Smoke pot, then when you cough it's a good thing

You'll be back..they always try...cough cough

smoke 40 pot joints per day :thumbsup :)

7 days for me too!

I haven't smoked or used any nicotine for 17 + months now.

The first 2 or 3 weeks is the worst. After you a while don't need a smoke any more really ... Roll with it.

Drink cranberry juice it's supposed to help eliminate the nicotine.

Smoke free for over 4 years. Smoked for 8. Your lungs are healing. You can try doing some steam inhaling if it's bad.

Good luck and don't give up, cigarettes are fucking disgusting. Looking back now I don't even know how I smoked them for so long.

stay away from booze or you'll be right back with a cool smoke in hand

Really, congrats and hope you'll stay on the right path! :)

Congrats dawg... Beth is quitting right now also... it's a struggle, proud of both of you.

keep it up!

sometimes an endorphin hit from a fast run can give you a natural high.

keep it up.,

u can do it.
dont go for e cig., it wont help., u will eventually end up on regular cig.

Keep it up.... You will achieve the goal finally the first three weeks are the worst period.... You will pass them...

I quit smoking over a year ago, without any prolonging tools

good luck! :thumbsup

youll know if you really want to stop killing yourself and see that it really affects your body

brew some tea like lipton drink it cold or hot. it will help clean your system out. good luck.

my quitting record is 3 days :disgust

good job mate!

Congrats! One of the best things about quiting besides your health and being told you smell like an ash tray is getting that monkey off your back.

You might be able to retire early now with all that money you will be saving...

congrats!!!! im trying too!!

avoid confrontation for the next month lol, I used to get horrible mood swings the first month or so and my jaw almost got dislocated from chewing the nicortte gums

never smoked cigs, but when I quit smoking from a bong it took about 3 months of coughing up black shit.... never ever again!!!!

Actually 7 days must be enough. For example, in my case, I was almost completely free from dependence after 48 hours.

These are for gays :) The REAL MAN must be able to resist the problem alone.

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

I tried the e-cigs, but ended up with a raging cough from that since it injects steam into your lungs along with nicotine. I also read that any quitting aids only prolong the terror of quitting and drag-out the withdrawals, since they keep a small amount of nicotine in your system, it keeps you in withdrawal state for as long as you use them. I tried the gum and patches, but after a couple days, I quit those also and decided to Raw-Dog it... commando style.

So far, on Day 8 now, it seems to be getting easier, except for if I get into confrontation as Antonio mentioned, those times... I found that if you just go bang it out w/ your GF (or whoever), all is well.

Thanks for all the support! :) I'm glad to see that others are quitting also.
