Hello my name is Austin, I'm on my second week of not smoking. The reason I quit is I have enrolled for my TWIC card for a general labour and I am going to be working at a chemical plant. SinceI quit I've been coughing up tar and it has made my throat dry and my lungs have felt a bit off or that's just because they are getting used to less tar in them. I've smoked for 6 years and I'm 18 so that means I started when I was 12 years old. The other reason I quit is because I have developed a phobia in having cancer, I know I have been smoking for 6 years and randomly got a phobia of cancer. I don't really know if tar should be coming out of my lungs so fast maybe one of you people can tell me so. I do not have any intention of smoking a cigeratte and I have 2 people in my household who smoke and leave cigerattes around and it doesn't make me want one, I also quit cold turkey.
