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? |

My mom told my dad she wouldn't marry him if he didn't quit smoking. He quit.
I'd go with what other people are saying and try occupying yourself with other things when you get the urge. Or just picture a healthy lung, then picture a dark black, full-of-holes-and-cancer, slathered in tar, decaying, and disgusting thing shaped like a lung and tell yourself that is what your insides will end up looking like unless you stop smoking. http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&...=1&ct=title
