It has been 68 days of being free from cigerettes. I did not have a smokers cough, short of breath, or anything like that prior to quiting.
So here I sit day 68 and I don't cough, breath any better, etc. In fact if anything I am tired and have no energy. Cigerettes are a stimulant and with the decrease in coffee and pepsi, it really sucks. And on top of that I can't sleep.
Even with all that (and more), I will continue to remain smoke free.
