I quit smoking two weeks ago (smoker for 17 yrs) and ever since I have woke up in the morning with a sore throat. I have also put on a lot of weight ( about a stone) despite eating healthy snacks (grapes, melon etc). I am starting to feel any health benefits I have gained from stopping have been undone by the extra weight I now carry. How long will it be before I actually feel any benefits from stopping ? Any ideas on how to boost my morale and feel good about quitting?

first of all Congradulations on packing in smoking.i packed in 21 years ago i can remember feeling awful at the time in fact i felt worse when i packed in than i did when i was smoking i had a really bad cough for weeks after i went to see my doctor he said it was all the chemicals in the tobacco that was clearing out of my body i was pregnant at the time i packed in so i put on weight anyway.keep up the good work watch what you eat sounds like you are being sensible in what you are eating anyway try to get regular exercise.it may not seem it right now but in a few weeks even months you will feel so much better GOOD LUCK

I really want to quit smoking and I am on wellbutrin, and it helps, but how about replacing the habit? It is so hard! Has anyone been through this?

Give the wellbutrin some time. It helps so much. You don’t have to replace the habit as much as get new habits. I think it takes 2 months to develop new habits. So, when you get in the car, get in the habit of turning on the radio rather than lighting up, etc. After dinner, take a walk or do a puzzle – anything NEW.

I have tried the patches and that didn’t work, is there anyway that I can quit smoking that will actually work, with out going cold turkey.

There are two addictions one has to deal with, psychological and physical. I had smoked for fifteen years before I finally quit. During that span of time I tried the patch, the gum and hypnosis, but nothing worked more than a day or so. Finally, I just quit cold turkey.

It took about three months to get it out of my head but I haven’t smoked since; it has been fourteen years now.

Chew a lot of gum. Get something to play with to keep your hand busy.

You need to quit or you will die because of it… Period!

Good luck,
Siggy
