Quitting smoking

It's now been 17 days since my last cigarette. It has not been too hard. The time when I struggle most though is when I am out having a drink. Feels strange not to have a cigarette! Well, I have got past the (sorry to be gross :yuck: ) worst of the phlegm stage. But now, I am getting a heavy cough and my chest feels tight. For people who have quit in the past or know, is this normal? I do not want to go to the docs, if it is something I should expect!

Not sure if it helps, really, but it should be a basic guideline.
how long have you been a smoker?
not a heavy smoker. about 5 a day. more if I was out drinking. for the past 3 years on and off. but constant for the past year
i quit smoking AGES ago... i didn't get the symptoms you described tho.
you could always phone that nhs-quit-smoking-helpline and ask....... sorry i don't know the no.
if not 999 is a good one when your having a heart attack or dying of cancer
quitting smoking isn't easy, but you have to try and make an effort
have u tried those sticker things ?? howdo they work?
You mean the patches?
