Thanks for the suggestions on deodorizing the house. I do appreciate them. I had to go to cutting the lozenges in half. According to the instructions, if you smoke more than 20 cigs per day you are to use the 4mg dose. It's too strong for me even though I was going through 2 packs at least per day.
I can get the 2 mg lozenges, but have been cutting them in half until I kill these off. I can't afford to throw the ones I have out. They're cheaper than cigarettes, but still pricey.
I have an e-cig that I picked up a while ago to use in situations where real cigs were out of the question.
It's supposed to be menthol flavouring, nicotine, and generates water vapour with nicotine which you inhale. For some weird reason, it makes me cough.
I know from trying to quit before, that I'm due to start coughing up crud from my lungs any day now. Sinuses are doing better already and I didn't wake up with a hacking cough and sinus headache this AM.
So far, so good, but I discovered that too many sunflower seeds are bad to digest if you are on a low residue diet like I am.
So, in addition to quitting smoking, I have to cut back on the seeds and nuts. Paid the piper for that this AM and it was NOT pleasant.
I also noticed today that Jakey, my cat with the chronically irritated eye is experiencing less tearing and the eye is less inflamed. So, now, I feel like a rat for smoking in the house all these years and subjecting his poor eye to that.
