Just a quick update. Day 30, 1 month smoke free. Energy levels back to normal. Life is good. No major cravings. I can breathe again without coughing. Food tastes good, and no weight gain yet. I'm being careful of how much and what I eat.

Twentysomething go for it. If I can do it cold turkey anyone can. I won't say that it's a piece of cake because it isn't. But if you are serious about quitting you can do it. Some of the reading I've done says that 3 days, 3 weeks and 3 months are the points when most people fall off of the wagon.

I'll let you know in another couple of months but right now I am an ex-smoker.
