At first I had a sore throat and was coughing heaps. Over Christmas it felt like I had a cold, and since this morning it feels like I have another cold....Good for you, the sickness is normal...The only way you can seriously injure yourself is by stopping an extreme alcohol addiction.not really. well depends on how long you were a smoker for. some smokers after quitting about 2 or 3 weeks get massive luggies, really bad breath but its all normal since your lungs are trying to get rid of all those toxins and nasty stuff. youre body might just be trying to adjust itself to the sudden change and it you keep on getting sick or too sick, make sure you consult your doctor for it might be something serious too. and whatever you do, make sure you STAY OFF THE DAMN CIGS!!! i envy you brother im a smoker myself and having a hard time trying to quitit-s probably your body reacting to not having nicotine in your system. if it continues, however, you should probably see a doctor.Sometimes the cigarette smoke kills the germs that might otherwise give you a sore throat. I had a friend who quit and got tonsilitis the same week and had to be hospitalised.This is normal, and you are doing fantastic, ok? Hang in there. IT-ll be over soon, and your lungs will start getting rid of all the poisons and you-ll feel better.
Congratulations on making such a brave decision, and quitting smoking. You rock.I have never had this happen when I quit but I have heard about it many times. They claim that within a few weeks you will cough like you never coughed before. This is your body cleaning your lungs out. Good for you for quitting, it-s a hard thing to doRide the wave dude you-ll feel better for it on the other side!
Evil Weed!First off, Congrats!
Good luck with not smoking.
Quitting is the best thing you could do for yourself and your family and future.
When your body goes through a drastic change like nicotine withdrawal, you are under stress and your immune system slows. Your body is also clearing everything out. It has built protective layer from smoking in your lunch and for a while you will be getting rid of all that nastiness.
It is normal to get sick easily when you quit smoking. It is also the season for colds and it seems like the people who are getting sick are the same as you, feeling continuous sickness.
If you continue to get sick, visit our doc, but I want to encourage you to visit your local health food center where there is a professional than can recommend something to help your body cleanse itself.
There are herbs in pill form, teas etc that can help your body relieve itself of toxins you need to shed from smoking.I have read that people often cough after quitting smoking. It-s the lungs- way of getting rid of all the gunk that was in there. I-m sorry you-re not feeling well but it-s great that you-ve quit smoking!Congratulations! Would be nice if the health benefits of quitting was instant. Alas, not so. Quitting smoking means your body now has the chance to clear out a lot of accumulated toxins. These toxins are on the move and can be a burden to your immune system and make you more vulnerable to any of the bugs that are going around. Take good care of yourself, lots of rest, healthy food and antioxidants to support your body-s efforts to clean out all the accumulated debris from your cigarette habit. Every day you remain a nonsmoker your body becomes cleaner and gains strength.
The longer you smoked, the greater your toxic load, the longer it takes the body to clear the toxins out. Lots of great health tips out there for detoxing if you are game to do some reading. The simplest tip is redundant, but here goes: eat healthy, drink lots of water, adequate exercise and rest. Take good care and good luck.Congrats to you and keep up the good work!!.It is your body trying to get rid of those unhealthy toxinsI think its normal to be coughing lots as you are getting rid of some of the crap that has been put in your lungs. Your body and especially your lungs will be trying to get back to normal.Congratz;; the something my parents wont do =(
