It's been about 17 days for me and like you have always had lung problems. Coughing up about 10% of what I used to and it's nice and clear now. Taste and smell are really returning.
Signs my body is healing...I think.

I've experienced a little of this. IT's only been a week now. I've still had 2-3 analogs a day, although I usually regret lighting them up by the time I'm half way through. I'm feeling better already. Smoked a little over a pack a day for 17 years. I
m loving my new lease on life!

Yummmy, lol. Congratulations! I'm new to all this and haven't given up the analogs just yet but it definitely sounds like you're lungs are cleaning themselves up. I've been smoking 15 years and do about a pack of lights a day - and also have developed sinus issues as a result (also have a "good" side and a "not so good" side, yay). Loving that you already are noticing your sense of smell coming back.
I already hack up lil nasty stuff here and there - usually mostly clearish with a bit of brown gunk sprinkled in - so I cannot imagine what kind of crap is gonna come out once I get my "cookie-clean-out".
Oh and Rosa, my first thought for you was that maybe you run alot or are otherwise very athletic... I know some runners that are also pretty heavy smokers that swear their runs really keep their lungs clean... so maybe yours just never got that bad? Lucky! ;D

take mucinex and lots of water, lemon juice with cayenne pepper and watch you will have productive cookies. You need to get that tar out!! Im not a doctor but know somethings, lobelia extract helps repair lungs also.
One thing I've found useful, in addition to drinking lots of water and vaping my head off.. is using a Neti Pot. I was always turned off by the idea of water running through my nostrils, but once I used it, I was really surprised. It keeps my sinuses clear, stops nose bleeds, and helps keep the natural balance of things. They're pretty cheap and you can find them near the Afrin in any pharmacy... My boyfriend has used one for years (he's had sinus surgeries), and I finally made the leap when a Doctor coworker of mine told me he has chronic sinus issues and uses one everyday as preventative maintenance. As someone who can get upwards of 3 sinus infections in the winter, I appreciate not having to deal with that nastiness.
Best of luck!

21 days for me! I had one bout of the loogie production in this period and the energy, sense of smell... lung capacity (I play tennis recreationally)... have been amazing. Stay the course.

Quitting smoking is a big deal....the gross part doesn't come into play until it's way past time to quit!
I was pretty much just about non-functioning after 44 years of heavy duty smoking. I'm back! There really is life after smoking. Life is GOOD.
