Don't fantasize about cigarettes. Always keep a clear, objective perspective of what it would once again be like to be an addicted smoker. There is no doubt at all that if you relapse to smoking you will be under the control of a very powerful addiction. You will be spending hundreds of dollars a year for thousands of cigarettes. You will smell like cigarettes and be viewed as socially unacceptable in many circles.

This is a test used to determine how much lung capacity a person who is afflicted with a respiratory disease has left. It is administered to those who have asthma, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Lung Cancer, and or emphysema; I am sure there are other diseases it is used for as well.

Not everyone coughs more immediately and some people may never develop the cough that is often characteristic after quitting. But the cilia is regenerating and is going to be cleaning out your lungs, it just may be doing it at a pace which isn't overloading your airways and thus the mucous is quietly being swept out. Although some people will still develop the cough a few weeks into their quit as opposed to a few days as is experienced by many.

I was feeling a bit deprived today - craving a smoke, thinking those old silly thoughts that I was somehow better off than I am now when I smoked. Silly.

Is quitting smoking worth the initial struggle and effort that an addict has to put forth to take back control over nicotine? You bet your life that it is!
