Where you do have to be careful and aware is that when your cold starts to dissipate, you might get stronger than normal thoughts for cigarettes. For while you
likely cut back on cigarette consumption when you were a smoker with a cold, when you started to get better you would have to make up for lost time, or more
accurately, for lower than normal nicotine levels since you had instinctively cut cigarettes down to a bare minimum in those times. This makes the first time
getting well a potentially powerful trigger. Just be aware of the fact and it will help you to minimize the effect. Then know that over your lifetime, your
colds will probably be less frequent, resolve quicker and be less severe as long as you always remember to never take another puff!

 Nicotine is not medicine / Triggers when I'm sick also has lots of related
articles about getting sick after quitting.

oh my gosh that is why I feel so miserable. Thank you so much for the heads up on the possible trigger when I feel better. Now I can prepare myself. The
kids are still running around having fun even though they have runny noses and the cough. I feel like I have some exotic flu. Yuck.
