I quit January 7th. The first two weeks are tough man. I am really succeptible to nic fits.
I used the gum.
One thing however that I did differently this time at the advice of a friend, which seemed to be very effective, was not worry about the side-effects involved with quitting. In the past, I stressed over my increased appetite. A friend told me, "man, just eat, gorge yourself, at the end of the day, you will thank yourself. Make the goal quitting smoking."
It helped man. I just focused on quitting.
I got Pnemonia shortly after quitting and it lingered. I just went to the doctor for my final chest xray. He told me I have developed adult asthma. My days of non-smoking are behind me now.
