good work. You should feel some benefits immediately, then progressively more around the 4 week mark then at 6months... You'll notice your sense of taste will be a big improvement.

Good job bro! You will really appreciate this in the long run. About 6 months(give or take) your lungs will feel much better. At 18 smoking about a pack a day I doubt you are coughing blood from smoking. I would go see a doc ASAP bro!

  I was kidding by calling you a quitter.Good job. But how can anyone who wrestles ever smoke?I wrestled all through school and I can't imagine smoking and trying to wrestle.

I quit smoking cold turkey on 12/12.  I did have 1 slip up at a party.  I'd been drinking and decided I needed a smoke.  It gave me a headache and I made up my mind that it wasn't worth it even more!  I feel better and I can run alot easier now.

keep in mind that recent medical discussions argue that you can only really concider yourself as fully quitted if you havent touched a cigarette in at least 5 years, provided of course you have been a substantial smoker (i.e. not occasional cig at a club but a regular smoker)

I have had this problem whereby I'd quit, not touch a cig in 2 years and then one day start again...
