Wheezing and Hacking, When does it start?

[AnthonyCoburn]

I've been smoke free for dawning on about 2 weeks here, and I've read on many threads on here that eventually you'll start wheezing (From experience from quitting before i've noticed this) and hacking up phlegm/tar, I've yet to start the process whereas before when I'd quit Cold Turkey without the aid of A Electronic Cigarette the process would begin in about 3-5 days.

Thanks for any input
Cheers

I did not suffer any of the symptoms that I had when I went 'cold turkey'. I wondered the same as you, but it never happened with my switch to vaping.

I'm no expert, but I never did do the wheezing and hacking thing. Maybe because I keep quitting so soon after losing a quit? I think you may or maynot have to go through that. I'd think after two weeks, you would have already started if you were going to. If you don't have to go through that, good for you!

Haven't experienced any coughing, wheezing etc. I'd thought it was because 40+ years of heavy smoking had caused too much damage for my lungs to bother clearing themselves out and was actually disappointed though not surprised. Have to say a couple of months further down the line and lung function is improving dramatically so it's obviously never too late.

I never went through any of that either and the last time I tried "cold turkey" had been many years before.
I don't think it's written in stone that anyone has any of the side effects of quitting that you hear so much about here.
Other than some very interesting dreams, I had none of them. I still have the dreams though, which is o.k. by me. I don't remember ever having dreams like this in my life.

Also never had the hacking and coughing until I began getting active with sports. All sorts of crap coming out of my maltreated lungs. That was 4 months ago and now am fine but I had smoked for 44 yrs.

Same story here. I'm nearing the 16 month mark and never had 'the cough'.

[DevilMachine]

yeah, i always heard that when you quit, you're going to start yacking up all sorts of funky stuff. i've been vaping for almost 6 months, and nothing yet.

It'd be quite amazing if I didn't have to experience the wheeze, tends to give me anxiety, which would entail me wanting more cigarettes in the past. Love the fact my E-Cig is hindering these malfunctions, and 360's back into analogs.

I Hope once I start hitting the Gym once again Vapoor eyes er, that it'd do the same for me, I know I have disgusting smokers bile piled up on my lungs, despite me only smoking for 5 years.

I smoked for nearly 60 years, and wheezing and hacking was just part of daily life. So if I did it as a result of quitting, I would have never noticed.
