Mike, Ross, Matt, and anyone else doing this - sincere good luck. It sucks. I'm 4 weeks down now. I used all kinds of motivation, from my health, to being around for my son and not dying off in my 60s like my father and his father and fathers before that. I also felt that if I was going to fish harder and better to go with getting "wiser" thank I sure as ^$*# better quit that crap!
I basically locked myself in a room for a few days, tried cold turkey, and getting close to losing it I found some old commit lozenges from a previous attempt which took off just enough of the edge. Still want one though!!!

Do it now while you have the excuse of being young and dumb. You're supposed to know better when you're older. And short of never starting, nothing better you can do than quitting when you are young... Wish I had

i have to say
this...
think about nicotine ..the drug itself that is so addictive...
it was the only insecticide that successfully eliminated
the cotton boweavil (sp) an insect that even DDT wouldn't phase or any other insecticide for that matter.
that being said... on to health...aspects
when your on the drug nicotine it puts your immune system on full alert status or at level defcon 4 ..ok
in order to fight off it's strength... then when your body no longer has it in the system... the body is confused ...because it wants to go down scale to defcon 1 status
but it is hesitant to do so...
be aware,
that you may now require more vitamin C
or other vitamins (ie better nutrition) to keep cold viruses at bay since your immune system is no longer running at full throttle.
Good luck everyone
