Has anyone else noticed that they have not been sick?

My sinuses are still clearing even after 3 1/2 months smoke-free. In the morning, I blow out some black or red blobs of phlegm from my nose or the post-nasal area.

I didn't have a single sinus infection this winter, unlike past winters suffering through multiple sinus infections and/or acute bronchitis when I smoked.

This is the first winter in about 10 Years that I have not had a major respiratory infection! No bronchitis, no cold, no inhalers, no neb treatments, no bombing my body with antibiotics to prevent pneumonia. I am so happy I no longer smoke!!!

Yep, I used to always catch whatever my daughter brought home from school. Haven't caught anything since vaping.

I used to get a cold or flu around twice I year when I was a light smoker.
Usually every time we went on vacation somewhere.

After switching to vaping I didn't get sick at all for the first three years.
Last year (year four) I did get a slight cold, and it only lasted for a couple of days.

This year I just got sick when we went on a ski trip vacation.
It lasted a week, and I'm just now about over it.
:(

Yep.. I'm not sick anymore either! I used to get at least one or maybe 2 colds a year and they cough would hang around for a couple weeks. Not anymore. I caught a cold last year but it was so mild I wonder if it was even a cold. A couple weeks ago my husband had a cold and I caught it.. a couple days of sore throat and it was over. No lingering cough, no stuffy nose or congestion.

It can't be a coincidence. In the three and a half years I've quit smoking and been vaping..only 2 colds and they were very mild and over almost before they started :D

Nope, haven't been sick either! Probably because we've had an extremely warm winter here in Vegas.
That being said, after about 2 weeks of vaping, I lost my smoker's cough. Yeah! However, it is back and in full force. I've been taking Robitussin daily for the past few days and have been coughing up the green phlegm in massive amounts but don't really feel sick. It's very weird. At least I'm getting rid of that gunk. I just keep thinking that the lung are still repairing themselves...........
