Why do I feel so horrible and I quit smoking

Why do I feel so horrible and I quit smoking?

I recently quit smoking....its going on about 6 or 7 weeks now. During my quitting venture I have heard alot of different things. Like I heard the first week is the hardest and that after that first week all the nicotine is out f your system, but for me it was hard the first week, 2nd week easy, 3rd started to get harder, now not so much though. The weirdest thing is though is that I thought I would feel better, be able to breathe better, just not feel so tired. I sometimes now have a harder time breathing than when I smoked!! Although I don't think I will, I think to myself I might as well have kept smoking cuz I don't really feel any better.......

Don't start smoking again. Fix the issues that are causing the problems. The biggest problem with smoking is that the smoke contains incredibly harmful chemicals that have polluted your body. Actually it contains about 4,000 and 200 of them are highly toxic to the body and create nutritional deficiencies.

First, the nicotine replaces the chemical that your body normally produces in the synapse of each nerve. When you smoke, the nicotine supplies the nerves, but when you stop, your body has to produce this again. This takes time.

Smoking masks other problems as well because you can artificially feel good when you smoke. It's the primary reason it is so hard to stop. You have cells in your lungs that act as goblet cells called Stellate cells. These cells are phagocytic and eat the smoke, as well as things like dust, etc. and store it in your lungs. And the small bronchial tubes get clogged. The more you smoke, the more clogged they get. When you stop, it does not solve the problem as a lot of people think. You will always have an issue with this. A lot of people die because they just can't get a good deep breath as they age and this lack of oxygen slowly kills them.
