congrats man, but, does it really makes you better? i mean, do you feel better than everyone around you? i know you feel now superman, but, you are, you know, you are ... just you are not smoking ... but, wish you best
Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
avoid confrontation for the next month lol, I used to get horrible mood swings the first month or so and my jaw almost got dislocated from chewing the nicortte gums
I tried the e-cigs, but ended up with a raging cough from that since it injects steam into your lungs along with nicotine. I also read that any quitting aids only prolong the terror of quitting and drag-out the withdrawals, since they keep a small amount of nicotine in your system, it keeps you in withdrawal state for as long as you use them. I tried the gum and patches, but after a couple days, I quit those also and decided to Raw-Dog it... commando style.
So far, on Day 8 now, it seems to be getting easier, except for if I get into confrontation as Antonio mentioned, those times... I found that if you just go bang it out w/ your GF (or whoever), all is well.
Thanks for all the support! I'm glad to see that others are quitting also.

Me too I am coughing like crazy. 9 days now ;) and I only smokes a little each day I can imagine a full timer.
Over the last year, I cut down from:
10 to 20 per day to...
5 to 10 per day to...
1 to 5 per day to...
1 to 4 per day to...
1 to 3 per day....
And the occasional 1 or 2 cigs per day, but it was VERY difficult to break 1 to 3.
Anyhow, I started with forcing myself to NOT have the habitual smokes...
1. When I wake up.
2. After food.
3. When first getting into a car.
4. After sex.
5. With coffee.
6. With alcohol.
7. When taking breaks.
And so on. When those times would come around, I would simple not smoke, and would wait until after the craving passed to have a cig.
That has helped with quitting a lot more than I probably realize. I think if I were still a pack-a-day, I don't know that I would be able to do it.
So, just an FYI for anyone else looking to quit... The hard part is breaking the habit, if you do that before you try quitting, your chances increase significantly of quitting for good.

have you started exercising?
Doing cardio daily really helped me see my health coming back and kept me off the cigs.
The improvments are amazingly fast

Im sure you saved your self alot of the physical withdrawals going this method.
It might actually be harder on your mentally.

smoke free 8 or 9 years now. and yeah, quitting aids are for loser - it's all about will power

The coughing is from the steam breaking up the gunk in your lungs... I switched to vaporizing and that is what "cleaned" my lungs. It was absolutely terrible. If you keep doing it, you'll have teary eyes, gagging, and they you'll start seeing chunks of black shit in what you cough up. Horrible shit. But cleansing.
I don't know anything about those e-cigs but it sounds like they are along the same thing. You will get the nicotine but the steam/vapor will actually help you. It's a real bitch though, you'll cough like you've never coughed before.
I can only assume that it would help clean your lungs faster. I was never a cig smoker like I said but holy shit I was a heavy bong smoker and 2-3 months of vaporizing I never felt soooo good in my life!
