You know how They say things like, “You start feeling the benefits of quitting smoking almost immediately! Your blood pressure decreases, your chance of a heart attack goes down, food tastes better, you have more energy, your eyes will be brighter, etc etc. You are going to feel & look great!”

It’s not true! There are so many terrible things that happen when you quit smoking (see: “Quit Smoking Side Effects“).

It’s been 45 days since I last smoked and there’s this creeping gross choking feeling in my throat. I think it’s just post nasal drip, not cancer [initial self-diagnosis], what a relief. But it still feels terrible & I wish I knew how to do sutra neti (where a string is shoved up your nose & pulled out your mouth).

Also, why do lung detoxes involve puking? I don’t get it. Also, turmeric + hot water does not taste good. But better than Mucinex.
