Hi Pubgirl,

Within a week or less, you will feel better than you were as a smoker.

You will no doubt be healthier, and emotionally feel more confident when speaking with others near you because you will smell less, and your teeth/skin/breath/hair/fingertips will all be noticeably cleaner.

Your lungs will heal remarkably faster than you think and food/drinks will taste so much better as well as scents of foods/flowers/etc will be more noticeable and pleasant.

Enjoy your life that has now been extended by your awesome choice! Congratulations! Wink

You're pain free and your body is digging the fact you don't smoke anymore. I'm hoping your remission lasts a lifetime. Joe

It definitely probably isn't an escape, but your next round, the severity of pain may be less. I have noticed this when I quit many years ago. If i'm even near cig smoke, a cluster will be following. This is why I can't comprehend how others can smoke during a hit. I never smoked during a hit, never drink during a cycle.

When the PAIN starts, I FIGHT back!
