Passive Smoking - Day 21

I had another visit with my Smoking Doctor today and everything is going to plan. I am suffering from a sore throat and gums at the mo, but still haven't smoked so she and I are both very happy. Day 11 of being Smokefree!

However, after spending the weekend with smokers my carbon monoxide reading has actually increased to 3 from the previous reading of 1. This is due to passive smoking - which has really made me think about the effects that my smoking may have had on these around me. Sorry to everyone that has had to breathe in my smoke for the past 10+ years!

The champix is working well and most of my major side effects have subsided. I am feeling a little low at the moment and struggling to find much to be happy about - but this is a common effect of the drug alongside the withdrawal.

All in all, I am very proud of my efforts so far and really do think that I will kick the habit this time! Let me know of your successes long the way - we can do this together!
