lol.... To answer your question i smoked a pack a day for 8 years i quit about a year ago now. i never got any flu like symptoms but i did hack shit up every morning for about a month. i think it was all the tar breaking up in my lungs or somthing but i feel great now and can breath so much better. as for the sick feeling you guys might just be getting sick your immune system can wig out when you stop doing somthing that your body is used to. Keep up on your vits you should be ok ... and relax bro there are alot of good peeps on the board along with all the punks... hope you feel better bro and good job on quiting that horrible habit...

 

[pitbullrocco]

no

he and his girl will descend deeply into a state of narcrosysosis. eventually leading to death. the newbie was almost right. start smoking, yes. but smoke crack instead. instant relief.

bomb please?

all joking aside I think it's awesome you quit. I congratulate you and forget the newbies busting your balls. Here is a link I found that shows you all the benefits and about halfway down the page you will see the withdrawl symptoms. Good luck bro, you will be so much better onn in the long run!

From what i know it takes 2 weeks for the nicotine to leave your system and you stop being physically dependant on it.

Good luck in quiting bro

 

[anabolic12]

Physical withdrawal from nicotine is a temporary condition, but it can cause a fair amount of discomfort while it lasts. The nickname of having "quitter's flu" has been given to this phase of smoking cessation because nicotine withdrawal symptoms often mimic a cold or a mild case of the flu.

 

[supertech69]

90% of quitting is mental. I smoked for 14+ years and threw them away cold turkey before my son was born (nearly 10yrs ago). I never had flu like symptoms, dt's, shakes, massive overeating, etc., etc. IMO, most people use things as an excuse for going back to smoking because they are too weak minded to take control of their urges. The whole, "things got stressful so I started again" is BS, nicotine raises blood pressure so it actually makes a stessful situation worse. If you are having any type of sides, hang on for a couple of weeks as mentioned & your body will have most certainly adjusted by then. If you start back after that, you just have a self control issue. Good luck, it'll be the healthiest decision you will have made, not to mention the financial side of it!

here's some good info on it....

once you stop taking nicotine (in any form- so once the gum stops) expect increased cravings, hunger and weight gain. so you will need to make adjustments to compensate.

nicotine is gone in 3 to 4 days from your system. the first 2 weeks are where the cravings spike and then level off.

 

[MegaDesel]

hey ninesecz, like anabolic said there is actually a term for your symptom. Congratz on the decision to quit, just make sure you stick with it. Oh and nevermind jz1276 he is a fucking tool!

Yeah a good churchhill is nice now and again but I gave up the chew as well.

Stick with it bro. You should continually start to feel better and better until you aren't coughing anymore, and you can inhale nice deep breaths naturally.

 

[justinjones1963]

I've quit more than once over the past 13 years. I quit this past year and I haven't touched any nicotine since.

I have run the gamut of symptoms when quitting but I have never gotten sick, coughs etc. Mostly it is irritability, depression, unstable mental state (due to the cravings). I've had the symptoms end as in little as 3 days and as long as a month.

Good luck and keep up the inner strength to stay away from it!

On another note I always quit cold turkey – never used nicotine gum or the patch. I have found that drinking 1.5-2 gallons of water per day, keeping active, and increasing cardio helps. I also used Oxycalm which I got from the AF Store and that helped too. Normal gum and other things help. If you get the urge to smoke throw a piece of gum in your mouth.

 

[pitbullrocco]

if nothing else works, just smoke crack.

can someone throw me bone here?

 

[ninesecz]

Hey thanks to MOST of you for the help WOW I guess sometimes you can still get some good advice in this forum!!!! No WAY i will ever start again!!!

LOSE THE GUM!! I smoked around 25 cigs per day for 7 years, and I am on my 12th day of NOT SMOKING. Cold Turkey is the way to go. You want ZERO dependency on the nicotine if you are going to successfully quit in my opinion. Find ways to distract yourslef when you want one the most at first (i.e. morning, after eating, driving) Also, all smokers know that alcohol really encourages more smoking, so for the first two weeks I am avoiding alcohol completely! Good Luck Bro

Do it cold turkey man no gum. Nicotine takes three days to get out of your system every time you chew that gum you have three more days of enhanced withdrawals. Tobacco companies no that so they dont want you to quit. The gum buys the nicotine from the exact same place. Seriously I read this in various quitting nicotine websites. Zyban (Welbutrin same shit different name) worked well for me to alleviate some symptoms. It had given very bad reactions to one of my friends though dont know if that is rare. Good luck. You made a great choice. You quit while on cycle is good timing you need to eat anyway! LOL!

 

[mustang_00]

i'm weak. I want to quit cold turkey but don't think i can.... i made an attempt saturday morning and lasted 10 hours. it was a good start considering i have one out of habit every 1.5 (it seems like) hours

You definately cant if you keep telling yourself you dont think you can. Tell yourself you can and are going to get pissed at the drug for controlling your life. You know what I am talking about like when it is midnight and you are tired as hell but you dont have enough nicotine to get you going in the morning so you get dressed and drive yourself to Apoo's Quick-E-mart to load up. The fact it makes you beg from a perfect stranger when you need a quick dose of nicotine because you ran out. The fact that everytime the government needs more money they tax Alcohol & Tobacco because they know there are people out there that can not quit. Every day gets easier and easier just know it is going to be hard. BUT like I said you might as well give up now if you have the mind set I will just try quitting and if it works cool but if not oh well because otherwise you are just torturing yourself.

 

[mikefear]

your side effects shouldnt really be tooooo obvious since you're still getting nicotine..

Have you quit nicotine before? No offense but unless you been there you will never understand. I quit that, alcohol, Pain killers nothing has even come close to nictine. After I got my DUI our councelor was a hard core meth addict who smoked and I asked her the question she was slightly hesitant but then confirmed her opinion that it was just a little harder to quit nicotine.

Not flaming just saying. Its bad news.

 

[bivk]

Chantix is a new drug that has helped out alot of people I know quit smoking, look into it.

 

[drols of steel]

I've actually been giving great consideration to quitting myself, Hopefully I can muster up the will-power. I seem to have great control over almost everything in my life, however when it comes to those nasty little fuckers....they got me by the balls. Wish me luck... peace, Drols

You dont need luck. Knowledge helped me quit. Know what to expect and know it will not last forever. Dont think you can know you can. have you ever quit for a few days before? Well do it again and dont look back. Dont make excuses for yourself as to why you went back to it! If you do It wins again. Think of all the old fat bastards at the tobacco companies clapping because they won the war with you and will continue to get fatter because you just cant do it! Get MAD! JUST DO IT! Beat up the postman if you have to (Not really!) LOL!

Everyone talks about dedication and persistance in the gym. this will take exactly that! If you can do it in the gym why not for your life?

Thanx CO, appreciate the support. Yeah I have actually in the past quit for a few days here and there. I am actually going to quit after this pack (3 Cig's left) So, about 2 hours to go. I'll update from time 2 time how its going. Peace, Drols

Good for you! The times you really get nicotine withdrawals thats when you need to get mad at it. Because it is what is doing that to you. Dont go a month and think 1 wont hurt or even two months or even two years. First time I quit was two years and thought I could have just one hit of nicotine an almost two years after that I needed to quit again. Thats just me though!

Only one person can make you quit thats you. You cant lie to others but not to yourself.
