[Ryan-M]

I’ve smoked since I was 15 (I’m now 28) and quit more than a year ago. To answer your first question: for me, not smoking for a period of time made me extremely irritable. I could not concentrate, because the only thing on my mind was how to get the next smoke. Once done, I knew that I had about an hour before the urges started again. Which is why, even when there is limited time to smoke, I would light up and immediately crush it out. When I didn’t get to have one for a while, the first thing I noticed was a taste in my mouth that would not go away. I still have that taste today and can only describe it as a ‘clean’ taste. When I quit, it was difficult but not impossible. The hardest thing was trying not to think about it. I would fidget and pace until the urge went away, but that taste always remained. I learned to live with it. I have not restarted, because now cigarette smoke disgusts me. I get very nauseous, and my chest closes up. It seems like I have become very sensitive to it, and have a hard time going to clubs with friends. Other ex-smokers have relayed the same thing. The most adamant anti-smokers probably smoked at one point in their life and understand.
