Update - I have now been smoke-free for 16 days and now I'm sick. That's right, I have not been sick in over two years and now that I've quit smoking, I feel like shit. I guess that's what I get for quitting.
technically, the smoking would actually have a negative effect on your immune system in general, whereas being smoke free is the ultimately most healthy choice. i hear you lol, but that's just illusionary thinking. keep doing it. don't be weak and start again like me ;(
I have total control over my need for cigarettes. It came through self discipline. Now I only smoke when I am drinking. Somehow I think that I wouldn't be able to properly enjoy having some drinks and getting pissed without cigarettes.
