Excessive Gas

Yes, Dave...........seems to be not too common but, definitly one of the more " obvious " signs that U are a quitter. LOL Maybe a result of suckin' in all that hot air for so many years. It had to go somewhere.

I am on my 1,654,256,234,523 attempt now.

Hello Jer and welcome. I am a registered nurse, have smoked for 36 years and both my Mother and Mother-in-Law died premature deaths as a result of smoking related diseases. I have worked with many people in respiratory care units and have witnesses the fear , anguish, guilt and sorrow of patients, friends and family. We humans are slow learners, not learning from others' mistakes more times than not. You know the situation here as U said U have traveled this way before. Having said all of this..........and not being under the illusion that this is a very serious , life threatening addiction.........it would be very refreshing to see and hear a little bit of levity .............sharing stories of desperatly searching for a "long" butt left in the ashtray, buying a pack, smoking one and then ceremoniously breaking them all in half and throwing them away only to wake up the next morning thinking about digging those butts out of the trash.
