I am relatively young and have been smoking on and off for about 7 years only. I guess it is just the way I am built, but my immune system seems to suffer more then other smokers that I hang out with. This is a real pain in the butt because I terribly dislike the way I feel now. But recently something has started to happen that has made me rethink if smoking is worth it health wise or not. I have started to feel as though there is a hold being burned in one particular spot in my throat. Seeing the health signs and hating being sick are just a few of the reasons why I decided to stop smoking yesterday.
This really all started when people as a mass started to inhale the smoke instead of just puff on it. As soon as we introduced the chemicals into our bodies, our society as a whole has changed. Our immune systems have been put on overdrive and mine has not been able to catch up with a lot of what is going on in my body. I would say that I smoked only about a pack a day for about 7 years and I am feeling some long term effects already. Such as only being able to taste 3 our of 4 meals, energy loss, dry heaving, and bitter nicotine face;-)
Now as the periods between being sick are getting shorter, I am realizing something here, I am not even 30 years old yet and I am seriously having some bad luck catching everything I come into contact with because my immune system is too busy chasing around the smoke. But what can I say? There are more problems that come along with smoking then just getting sick all the time.
Don't get me wrong not everyone has as bad as a system that I have only after 7 years of smoking. I am just saying something has got to give because I just can't go around getting sick all of the time right before the actual sick season begins. That really bites. But hey, I know I am not alone out there either. There wouldn't be sayings like, "I am sick and tired of being sick and tired."
Well being sick and tired myself, I decided to stop smoking yesterday. Lets see if I can see some immediate benefits from this or if I have to go on for months with this pestering poor immune system.
Hacking up some black pieces of lung?
