AT SIX MONTHS WITHOUT ONE SINGLE PUFF AND AFTER OVER 25 YEARS OF SMOKING, THESE THINGS HAVE DISAPPEARED: A pressure, heaviness, and pain in my lungs in the morning. Morning cough. Breathlessness in my reading voice. Breathlessness when walking up hills or stairs. Unpleasant irritation in my mouth. General tiredness and loss of energy. Headaches. Cigarette hangovers after late nights out. Yellow teeth. Bloodshot eyes. Bad breath. Hair that smells like an ashtray. Two yellow, stinky fingers. Waking up at night coughing. Colds that turn into terrible chest colds that need to be treated by antibiotics. Gravel, broke-glass voice. Constant clearing of my throat. Constant stuffy nose.In my opinion, people who quit cigarettes are supermen and superwomen - like those who have climbed Mount Everest, or been to the South Pole, or swum across the British Channel, etc.
QUITTING CIGARETTES IS AN ENORMOUS ACCOMPLISHMENT!
So...maybe ex-smokers are the coolest, bravest, and strongest people on earth! We are rocking!
