Puff - I was smoking around 30 1mg cigs a day. I'd a smokers cough each morning and would cough & splutter during the day. I'd been smoking over 30 years and my coughing had got to the stage of worrying my family.

I've only stopped 10 days and I rarely cough now. The morning cough has disappeared.

It's still early days - but that's my tuppence worth.

Smoked analogue for over 20 years, Regal Kings which are about 1.1mg (I think) - definitely classified as strong. I was quite wheezy at times and whenever I got a cold it always turned into a two week mega cough.

After switching to eCigs it took a couple of days for the morning cough to go and then about 3 weeks to disappear completely.

Think I've mentioned this somewhere before but the best test for me is to exhale as much as I can until my lungs are as empty as I can get 'em and not cough at the end. I could never do that when I smoked. :)

Use to smoke between 3-4 packs of analogs a day - :mad:

Coughed all the time started when I was 15. 45 NOW
quit once for 5 years and picked up the habit AGAIN - I have no idea why?
Started the e-cig (Couple of weeks ago) and cough pretty good for a day or two but that was it. Would lay in bed and watch TV but when I would roll over I would start coughing so bad the doc had prescribed me codeine cough syrup. (Will save what I got left for Recreational purposes - Hate to throw anything out ;)) BUT - Anyway I was laying in bed last night and I noticed for the first time in years I could take a DEEP breath and not cough. What a true blessing this is on the CURSED addiction of Nicotine.
(well actually I like Nicotine - It is my friend - No it Not it is an evil curse.)
Sorry got to go argue with myself. (E-Cig in hand!!! :))
