Each person needs to do what they are comfortable with in terms of how they quit but here' a fact about nicotine in your bloodstream. It takes 3 days, 72 hours, to rid nicotine from your body no matter how many cigs you smoked per day. That's the relatively easy part of quitting. It's reshaping your daily life so you can function comfortably without cigs that takes a long time and a steadfast commitment over that time. Whatever you do, once you suspect nicotine is out of your body DO NOT reintroduce it under any circumstances. That's a step backwards!

Welcome to Quit Train Axyz! You're doing the best thing you possibly can for yourself by quitting and with three weeks already behind you, you're well on your way - keep going. As Jillar said, it's pretty common to cough a lot of crap up in the early stages of quitting and the pain could be muscular pain from all the coughing. Do get it checked though if you are concerned or if it persists. Also, stick around this forum because there's lots of information about nicotine addiction and quitting and super great support from other quitters who have been through the sames thing you are now experiencing

Yes - focus on the positives. That's a huge help in those early days. Not only are you seeing some benefits already but there are so many yet to come and the best part is they stay for good! Those ticker stats also keep adding up too!

They were brutal ads for sure, in terms of what we now know. At the time though, the truth was just beginning to be discovered. Have you watched these yet mighty? If not be sure you do. Pretty unbelievable stuff 😲

I have a similar story as well with my father. Smoked right through the funeral and for years afterward. My dad was openly advocating for all his kids to stop smoking years before he died but none of us did of course. I know he's be proud that both myself and my brother did eventually quit. Even though you didn't quit while your dad was here to see it, it will still be a very special part of quitting to you .... knowing how proud your loving dad would be

I had issues getting a "store-brand" patch to stick; no rash though. I gave them away and went cold turkey after the second day of my quit. It wasn't easy but it certainly was doable and I'm happy it went that way because then I didn't have to deal with getting the nicotine out of my system later on. It was all done at the beginning.

Welcome back @Warbelian

Last day of summer today. It was a great one where I live. Hope it was the same where you are. I guess for the Aussie's it's the last day of winter (such as it is down there). Tomorrow we usher in Autumn. That magical visual time of year! Then .......................................................................................................

I don't see the allure of them myself but I get your point. Younger peeps want something slick, substantial and easy to use and carry. Something that when they put it to their lips, it's very different from a cigarette. You may be right on future regulations surrounding e-cigs. I'm imagining an e-cig. in the shape of a skull & cross bones perhaps or at least a label with such attached to the packaging ☠️ And what about taxation on not only vape devices but the juice pods or whatever they're called? Cigarettes are heavily taxed in most countries. As far as I know, there is no such "health tax" on e-cigs or the juice pods they sell. I heard and advert today on local radio for a "starter kit" at $12.95. Includes a vape pen & juice pod. And, oh yeah .... when will the public advertising stop as well. I haven't heard an ad for cigarettes since I can remember!

My mother outlived her Dr. Now, at 99, she has to start all over again with a new one. My brother said his will take her on. They live in Eastern Canada. It's a struggle there too if you want a family Dr. so it's a good thing he's taking her on

OO Do your worst! We're sticks .... we can take it
