Hi skystream,
Wow, you impress the heck out of me! You are down to about 10 cigarettes already? That is absolutely super, and you should be so proud of yourself! I love the fact that you are using your NRTs so thoughtfully, and also using deep breathing and positive self-talk, along with this forum to touch base with the rest of us. All of those things are going to help you achieve your goal of becoming a non-smoker.
I used to wheeze sometimes, too, and I had an absolutely terrible smoker's cough. I was embarrassed by my coughing when I was out in public. People used to turn around and stare at me. But now my smoker's cough is gone. I cough normally now, which is such a relief. And you will notice a difference, too. Once you quit completely, your chest will start to clear out, and it will start to feel lighter. You won't believe what a difference it makes. I am so excited for you!
Yippee skystream, you are definitely moving in the right direction!
