I stay in shape by going to the gym religiously, running in this arid weather, and playing basketball, but I smoke a pack and a half a day. A couple weeks ago, I decided to cut back on smoking to just under a pack a day. I didn't feel any better. In fact, I felt worse. For the first time, I started developing a smoker's cough. It freaked me out so I tried to quit cold turkey. Shortly after, I caught the flu and I was miserable.
Now I'm back to smoking a pack a day and I feel great. What the hell is going on? |

Every time my girlfriend says she's going to quit, she really just cuts down. And then picks back up a few weeks to a month later. She did quit for a month and a half though. One strategy she used was to change cigarettes to a brand that she absolutely hated. So she wouldn't totally enjoy it.
To me, a cigarette is a cigarette. Good luck though. |
