Coping up with allergic reaction

Quitting smoking completely is my top priority in 2011, I quit on 4th of January. First week was a bit difficult and I had to use nicotine gum to keep my craving under control, but the craving is totally gone now. I felt like winning this war against the nicotine monster before I had this big surprise waiting for me on the weekend when I visited a nearby shopping mall, my lungs got irritated and I started to cough like crazy. My throat becomes dry and itchy whenever I move into crowded places. Any suggestions on how to deal with these outbreaks?

Coping up with allergic reaction

All allergic reactions have subsided. I think my lungs were not liking the fresh air. Enjoying my smoke-free days already.

Coping up with allergic reaction

Hey guys, it has been more than 100 days now since I smoked my last cigarette. I really feel liberated. Now I wonder how and why I started to smoke in the first place, I cannot find one good reason. Thanks for the support.

Scared!!

I put on some weight in the first month, primarily because I did not know what to do with the extra time I gained after I quit smoking. I started eating too many potato chips and drank too much coke. I will advice to wait for 3 weeks, everything starts getting back to normal, that's my experience. Keep urself active.
