I've noticed how fucked up people smoking around me makes my lungs.
If anything, quitting smoking has made my lungs worse.:(

It's been 6 weeks though...
I'm coughing up thick green goo.
Just remember that you cant possibly be doing them more damage by not smoking!
I have all this to look forward too soon
How long did you smoke? Your body's got that much damage to undo, it isn't going to happen overnight.
Well done for giving up!
When is the big day mate ?
I gave up smoking recentley and I noticed when im around smokers I seem to cough a lot more. I never used to cough when i smoked, only now i have quit and i get second hand smoke.
It's so tempting though when someone else is smoking, just to have a crafty one.

So this weekend is my last. I'm really determined to stop this time and I think I can do it!
I have been smoking for the last 8 years and was on about 20 a day at one point, so it wont be easy.
I have said to my girlfriend that if I last 3-4 months of not smoking, then we should go away for a nice weekend somewhere... just as an incentive!
Sounds like your doing well with it though mate, keep at it! :thumb:
Defnitly she owes you a dirty weekend if you manage 3-4 months
We all need our incentives
Think of the money you would have saved in the 3/4 months you had not smoked. You sound pretty serious about giving up this time.
Good luck fella :thumb:
Cheers mate, I'm sure I will get through it!
Good luck with yours as well! :thumb:
Getting to work and being surrounded by annoying tapping cunts eating through out the day so all you can hear is their fucking food slurping around their fat mouths, when they aren't doing that they are chopping on pens and all you hear is crunching NONE STOP. It is literally relentless.
Then they walk past you every 30 minutes to go for a fag break then walk back in stinking
Sorry, started out with a point and veered off topic to a general rant!
I'd been smoking about 7 years.
do you still crave a ciggie?
Whereas when you're smoking you deaden all the cilia so they don't react as they should do.
Dunno how long it's supposed to last, first time i quite i was still hacking my lungs up for 2 months. Now the "green goo" as you so nicely put it, has stopped after just 3 weeks of quitting.
Not that odd, in the few days you haven't smoked you are already starting to regain your sense of smell.
My point is that it will take a long time before you're back to normal. The coughing is a sign that you're getting there.
