No doubt the reason you got the sniffles when you didn't smoke was because your body was clearing out all the gunk from your respiratory system - this is common, and it is the begining of getting back to good health and a longer life.  Don't delude yourself that smoking has any benefits, unfortunately any fleeting pleasure is offset by continued niggling guilt, social ostracizing, huge waste of money going to mega rich tobacco cos, and a 50% chance of suffering and dying from the worlds most preventable cause.\nThere's a lot of free info and interesting stuff, plus ways to quit at http://www.quitguide.com

Did you ever think that smokers are sick to death of being lectured about our choice to pursue a perfectly legal activity? \n\nI'll make this really easy for you to understand.\n\nThere are plenty of things that are bad for you.\n\n- Exhaust fumes, but I'm guessing that won't stop you from driving or riding in cars.\n- Fast food (cholesterol) but I'm guessing that won't stop you from eating it.\n- Salt, grease, fat, etc.\n- Caffeine ... drink pop or coffee lately? How about tea?\n- Alcohol .... kills your liver, alters brain activity, causes more deaths in a single year from drunk driving accidents than most small wars)\n- Hair spray, aerosol material, numerous other household products.\n- Most brands of paint\n- Inhaling dust particles\n\nGet the idea? \n\nIf a smoker chooses to smoke, as an adult, they have every LEGAL right do so without being hounded by hypocrites who preach about the dangers of smoking yet hop in their cars and pollute the air.

I'd LIKE for cigs to be illegal...  My husband and sister in law both have asthma, and sometimes have to walk RIGHT PAST smokers to get to the EMERGENCY ROOM.  Hello!?  And my father-in-law died of cancer caused by second-hand smoke in his childhood.  I'd LOVE tobbaco to be illegal.  Will it ever happen?  *hopeless laughter*

Every fruit and vegetable has unique properties that contribute to good health, smoker and non-smoker.\n\nThe golden rule is color: the more colors of fruits and vegetables you have, the better the balance of nutrients you are receiving.\n\nWhile I could give you the breakdown of vitamins and minerals for various vegetables and fruits, know this: there are a variety of undiscovered and recently discovered chemicals that contribute to good human health.\n\nBroccolli has received a lot of attention since the discovery of yet-named chemicals. These chemicals provide protection from carcinogens, and helps heal the damage already done by carnicogens. Since cigarette smoke is jam packed with cancer-causing chemicals, broccolli has been identified as a key food to consume.\n\nSpinach, cauliflower, uncooked carrots, peppers, onions and garlic all contribute to good health and good healing.\n\nThey must be fresh, served without corn/vegetable oils, no salad dressing, no butter. No deep frying or smothering your broccolli with cheese.\n\nAlso, you need whole unprocessed grains. These are key to repairing damage done by smoking. Steel cut oats, whole grain breads (not whole wheat breads), wild rice and basmati rice should be part of a post-smoking recovery diet.\n\nEat several servings of each every day. You will feel better and look better.\n\nCongratulations on successfully quitting smoking. Not an easy thing to do, so I think you will have an easy time enjoying all the fresh fruits and vegetables that await you.

cold turkey is the way to go - i am on day 93 today.  counting the days since i have had a cigarette has gotten me through a lot of cravings as well.  i tell myself that even if i smoke just one, i have to start again at day zero.  it has been a big deterrent - and i feel great.  i am also planning to have a party on day 100 - and maybe keep on having parties every 100 days for the rest of my life if i stay smoke free.  it's really just a great excuse to have people over.

I quit smoking last year on Halloween at this party we were at- ran out & then decided to quit for good.  I had terrible headaches but overcame them in time, but sought help online & hooked up with Nicotine Anonymous.  It is hard to quit as you can smell smokers everywhere & I still avoid our local casinos- but last year in Washington we passed a law saying no smoking in restraunts-25 feet away from a business etc.  That sure helped me-in fact I voted in favor of the law!   In the 80's my dad got lung cancer after smoking 3 packs a day- I quit smoking for 5 years- but took it up when he was in his final stages of dying. But I refuse to go back to smoking & reward myself all the time for not smoking- anything I want I can buy.  Please try to quit for you & your friend- www.Quitnet.com  - try this site.  My husband quit in 85 when we got together for my son who was 14- Trav is 33 & didn't even remember Rick smoking.   Now Trav's daughter Chloe ( our only grandchild)  will not remember me smoking as she is only 4.  When you  want a smoke- just pray & the urge will pass- it only last 10 minutes.  Meanwhile look around for a hobby  to occupy you hands!  Good luck- you can do it!

Hello Sue\n\nIm not a doctor but I do have some experience in this area. I was a smoker for 50 years but stopped cold turkey after a heart attack and quadruple bypass surgery 14 months ago.\n\nIt is my theory that smoking robs the heart and artories of oxygen and that allows plaque buildup, it also hampers your breathing and causes laziness so smokers are less apt to exersize then non smokers are.\n\nAfter 14 smoke free months my risk of heart attack is now half that of a smoker and thats a good thing.\nBy the way I was smoking 2 packs a day so it wasnt easy.\n\nLeon

Wow, someone wants you to quit smoking!  I haven't heard that, but a friend of mine was told to stop smoking when she was having gum surgery.  Smoking narrows the blood vessels and it also does something with the absorbtion of Vitamin C, a healing building block in your body.  They want you to quit smoking because it impacts on your healing time and healing quality of life.  Do yourself a favor and stop so you heal better and faster.

My best friend and I have this conversation quite often. It doesn't make much sense to me either. Cigarettes cause emphysema, bronchitis, lung cancer, etc. As far as alcohol goes, how many people have killed others while driving drunk? Not to mention alcohol poisoning, liver damage, stomach problems, etc. Yet, weed, the most harmful of the three is the only one illegal. Someone should explain that to me......

Simple answer is NO!!! Whatever you smoke,you are introducing,foreign matter,products of combustion,and chemicals into your lungs.As these are very sensitive organs,you stand a very good chance of damaging them very badly.Grit your teeth,kick the habit,and live longer.....................your family deserve that!!!!(By the way,I am an ex-smoker!!!) Cheers mucker, Take it easy,Rob
