Go see your Dr. and insist on a CT scan of your lungs. That will reveal if you have any lung issues. If you do have lung issues you'll likely be referred to a Pulmonologist (Lung Dr.). I don't see this as simple lung cleansing after 4 years but then again ... I'm not a Dr. so go get your lungs checked visa/vie a CT Scan and do it sooner rather than later.

That's a tough one @Kdad! All I can say is when you think your world is falling apart, work on things that you and you alone can control ... like quitting smoking! You have obviously realized smoking again was not the answer you were seeking so get rid of it. Hang in here and let other quitters help support you in your effort to quit once again! Cigarettes offer nothing positive for you going forward!

Your positive attitude is a powerful quitting tool and will take you far!

It's not unusual that someone who's relatively newly quit would still have a love/hate relationship with smokes. It takes time to process everything you're experiencing while quitting. The trick is, now that you're quit, that you continue to process all the realities of just what your relationship with smoking was when you smoked. As smokers we were always in denial about the truth of what smoking was really doing to us and for us. Once quit, that's our opportunity to begin vilifying smoking in the cold light of day!

NOPE!

Glad to hear you avoided caving to the crave. Unexpected upsets are always a very dangerous thing when they occur early in our quit process because our mind automatically goes to "Gotta have a smoke!!" Of course we all know that having that smoke under those circumstances only destroys your quit and does nothing to help what ever it is that's going off the rails in real life. Smoking is never the answer. The good news is that once you've been through something like this and managed to get through without smoking, you'll not be in such a panic next time something happens. Getting through situations like this truly make your quit stronger - Good Job Stew!

Yes! Happy Father's Day @Cbdave ! Sounds like you're having a great time!!

I'm not familiar with these 'pouches' containing nicotine just as I am also not familiar with what chemicals in Chew causes so much mouth cancer among regular users but based on what I have seen or experienced with any & all products containing nicotine, none of those products are good. They ALL do their best to give the user an earlier than expected exit from this life and ALL of them seek to make money on the backs of addicts. In my mind, that's as low as humans can go in terms of treatment of fellow humans 🤬
