I have been smoking at least a pod a day since a year ago. I lost a good friend to suicide and as silly as it sounds, vaping at work and at home where no one would know, was really helpful. That little rush of nicotine gave me comfort nothing else did. Now that it has been almost one year and after reading several horror stories I see about the Juul I decided to stop. I wanted to ask if anyone else who has attempted to quit this thing cold turkey has experienced chest pain or pain around the lungs? At first I felt a tightness in my throat but now that it has been about 19 hours since I took my last puff I feel I can't get a deep breath in due to tightness and pain. I am hoping this is all in my head and it's some form of my anxiety but I am also worried I have done serious damage to my lungs and need to go to the ER. Any advice would be appreciated.
HI AllieAllerson ... I am so proud of you...and sorry for your loss of your friend...it is so hard to understand the reasons of suicide by another...it doesn’t sound odd that you did Juul through it...many of us smoked through our problems, sadness, celebrations, etc., in our life...quitting is often learning to accepting Life on her terms...that will come...right now important to focus on taking care of you and your quit...we are not medical here at the site...if something doesn’t feel right, seek medical attention...that being said...when I quit smoking...some of my physical symptoms were soreness in my lungs, cough, spitting up, fogginess in my head, sorta hurt all over, etc., for me I think it was the withdrawal of all the nicotine and chemicals...
I am sorry more are not answering the posts, but it is a Holiday weekend....hopefully more input will be offered after Labor Day....Have a good day....keep busy...Colleen 273 DOF
