when I quit many years ago, I would stop eating before I was full to not have that after dinner smoke craveing. Would think of food instead, also helps slow down the weight gain.

This is an old thread!, He said I cant smoke while im working, an i was doing it anyway. Not in front of him or anything, but he caught me smoking after lunch one day an said if he saw it again he would have to let me go. I love my job, so i sat down with him and we talked, an i agreed to quit smoking all together. He dident FORCE me to quit, i decided myself.

Your smoker's cough is worse now because you have stopped smoking. In a basic nutshell it is because of the following. The smoking paralyzes the cilia in the trachea and lungs. One of the cilia's function is to move foreign bodies from inhaled particles from the lungs or trachea back out (expel). Cilia and coughing work synergistically in removing the foreign material. basically its just removing all that tar from years of smoking. It may stop next month or may not stop for a year. Also smoking paralyzes the mucous secreting cells of the upper respiratory tract and of the type 2 alveolar cells (secrete surfactant) of the lungs. And surfactant is secreted on the surface of alveoli to modify the surface tension. The more optimum the surfactant ratio is the better oxygen to carbon dioxide exchange ratio.
