I've been off cigarettes for only four days now which isn't a lot but I'm astounded that I even made it this far. Yesterday, I woke up with a kind of flu-ish feeling and sniffles. Woke up again today. Same thing. I thought it could be the weather or withdrawal and was about to google it when I came upon this thread. Well, at least I know now to expect that I may go through a variety of things while I attempt to ditch the tobacco.

I've been smoke free for 10 months after more than 40 years of one and a half packs a day. I didn't cough up a lung when I quit smoking, but 2 months into vaping my nose kept running as if it was a leaky faucet. It went away eventually. I notice I sleep throughout the night and barely change position in my bed, only wake up once a night to change sides. My sleep is more restful and I don't wake up choking anymore. I don't get winded going up stairs (and I'm 64), etc., etc.

I don't glow at night either because I vape (sorry, I'm being sarcastic).

Oh hang in there OP, you have a little way to go! I have been vaping since Halloween (quit smoking after 25 years!) I no longer hack my lungs up every morning. I sleep better, I have more energy now, food tastes better etc. My first 2 to 2 1/2 weeks, I felt kind of cruddy. I was tired alot, felt fluish etc. I know it was the shock to my system of giving up the nasty stuff in cigarettes. I got past that and started feeling wonderful!!

The biggest thing for "me" is my meds that I take daily are WORKING. I have said for a very long time that my body seems to process prescriptions different on me than other people. I have had trouble with pain meds, sleep meds and a couple other prescriptions. Well, they all are working great for me now! I ended up with more than just healthy lungs, my pain meds WORK and I am pain free now!!! That aspect has totally blown me away!
