The benefits that we feel and see can be somewhat different from the internal benefits that tend to go unnoticed. And each person is different. For me, I didn't notice any change in stamina, or in physical ability with tennis or exercise. The first thing that occurred was that the string of phlegm down my throat that I awakened with every morning ceased entirely within the first three days. Didn't notice much change in taste, but my sense of smell is now as keen as a dogs. At least it seems so to me. I can smell the faintest of subtle scents. When that happened, I can't tell you. But it is astonishingly different than when I smoked and I would say is the greatest perceptible change in my case.
Now a passing thought: if you don't happen to notice any changes, or if it takes longer than you had hoped, will that make a difference in whether you remain smoke free or not? If so, don't let it. It might just be an excuse for failure. It's important to not lose sight of why we came to a quit smoking site in the first place. None of us can pretend that smoking doesn't - or won't - impact our health. We KNOW better. We just have to choose better.
Watch that e-cig usage. It might trick you into it's being a false friend.
Welcome. Take what you like and leave the rest. We're all very opinionated here. For a good reason! (grin)
