I live in New Zealand so the winter months (not that cold) are June, July, Aug. I had heard of people suffering lots of coughs/colds etc in the days and weeks following their quit. But this did not happen to me when I stopped smoking last winter in July 2005. What I have had is about 10 colds this year, seemingly with only two weeks at the most in between... I have always been pretty healthy and I eat well and excercise. There is a theory that when you smoke, because you are constantly bombarding your immune system with poison, it keeps it strong and prevents things like colds much of the time. Obviously this is not tempting me to go and smoke, because I would rather have lots of colds than tempting cancer... I am just so fed up and I just want to be healthy... Anyone got any advice or support, would be most grateful...
