Quitting smoking

My chest is aching and I’m coughing up a lung. When I quit many years ago for almost four months I got bronchitis really bad. The dr said it’s not that uncommon because the body is trying to rid itself of toxins. I sure hope this goes away.

I would imagine it will in time. Your body is recouping. I wish I could quit.

You’ve got a llama rooting for you!

You can do it!

@FatMama good for you!

@anon19982023 not to be pushy one way or another but vaping is killing people faster than smoking is… I only say this out of concern for you because I feel every one here is family to me… Sending good vibes

I appreciate the concern, thanks. I’ll take my chances with the facts. The UK views vaping as a viable smoking cessation tool. The US has created bans which push people towards more health problems by encouraging the black market. The streets are to blame for the deaths in my understanding. Added nasty cutting chemicals to increase yield and also vitamin E, both of which should not be inhaled.

Vaping doesn’t even kill 1 percent of the people smoking kills.

33 peope have died from vaping, compare that to the 480,000 people who die annually from smoking and it’s not even a competition.

I dont mean to be rude, but vaping killing more people than smoking isnt even close to being true.

@Squanchy I said faster (it’s killing within a few years) smoking cigarettes takes about 20 years to kill you (trying really hard not to be rude here I feel like mental crap)

I didnt take it as rude, I did misunderstand, but it also has to be noted that most of the people dying are using homemade oils, and I dont mean to diminish the 33 people who have died, its tragic, but 33 out of the number of people who vape is very small. Its safer than doing a lot of things that we normally dont think about, such as driving.

Vaping is a good smoking cessation tool. We dont know its safer long term, but it is a lot safer to use it for a short amount of time.

Edit: Also, I’m sorry you are feeling bad. :frowning:
