Icreased sensitivity in taste.

Easier to breath.

Loads more time.

No more stinking in public.

Less coughs.

More money for poker.

I find breathing easier, if that helps. The rest is essentially bollox mate. You either like the taste or you don't..and if you don't you should just quit.

It also tastes vile and in the morning nothing smell worse than a full ashtray.

Goodluck to you.

- Your bank account will be much healthier.

- You will be much healthier.

- When you eat food it will taste like it should do.

- You will live longer.

- When you walk out for a smoke and then return, the non-smokers wont think how smelly you are.

- When you do the kissing thing, your partner will think it is much ncier.

- You will be able to excercise without struggling to breathe.

- Sex will last longer..

- You will not wake up in the morning wanting to cough up your guts.

- You will not catch as many colds as before because you dont have to go stand out in the cold like a leper at pubs and casinos.

- you will be able to stick 2 finger up at the govenment on budget day as the increased tax on cigs will not affect you any more.

- Your house will smell nicer to visitors.

and there is many more things which I am sure will be added to...

Took me 4 to 5 weeks to not want any more cigs any more, but was well worth it...

Cheers

If you put the money you would have spent on fags into a high interest account then after 50 years you will have a million quid, you might also still be alive in 50 years.

Just stick to it, please please stick to it..

All i found for the first couple of weeks if its any help, change your routine completly, try and find things do, even if they are crappy jobs that have needed doing for ages, keep your day busy and it will get easier.. I did not play poker, or go online in the evening for a week.. ok not long, but enough to break the back off the habit of sitting in front of lappy smoking etc.. the house was spotless, the yard clean, drains cleaned, every nook and cranny done.. DIY, and if you drink, try and stay off that as well just for a week or 2..

Just remember you dont NEED to smoke, you WANT to......

20 minutes Blood pressure and pulse return to normal
8 hours Nicotine and carbon monoxide levels in the blood are halved, oxygen levels in the blood return to normal 
24 hours Carbon monoxide is eliminated from the body and the lungs start to clear out the build up of tar
48 hours There is no nicotine left in the body. Taste and smell are greatly improved.
72 hours Breathing becomes easier, bronchial tubes begin to relax, energy levels increase
2 - 12 weeks Circulation improves, making walking and running a lot easier
3 – 9 months Coughs, wheezing and breathing problems improve as the lungs have room for up to 10 per cent more oxygen
1 year Risk of heart attack is halved
10 years Risk of lung cancer is halved 
10 years Risk of heart attack is at the same level as non-smokers

 

The risk of developing lung cancer, other cancers, heart attack, stroke and chronic lung disease is reduced - the sooner you stop smoking, the sooner your risk starts going down
Stopping smoking at any age increases your life expectancy, provided that you stop before the onset of serious disease. Even if you have developed a disease, you can benefit from stopping as your body will be under less strain.
A smoker who has suffered from a heart attack can halve the risk of a second heart attack by stopping smoking
Ten years after quitting smoking an ex-smoker's risk of lung cancer is reduced by 30 to 50 per cent compared with that of a continuing smoker
Smokers who stop before the age of 35 have a life expectancy not significantly different from that of a non-smoker
Smokers who give up smoking between 65 and 74 years of age have a better life expectancy beyond 75 than those who continue to smoke

Good luck & if you cant find anything to do, youporn.com will keep you ocupied for a while...... thumbs up

Yeah I actually spat out a fried egg that was fried in Olive oil (the cheap stuff and i hate olive oil in the first place) a few days after I quit smoking..to actually properly taste something which you didn't like is something else. On the plus side.....well...have I mentioned yet that I can breathe better?
