Of course it's hard. You are going to experience mental turmoil for quite some time. Despair, frustration, agony. Do it.
But it gets better. There will come a time when your sense of smell really gets quite keen. A little too keen sometimes, lol, if you're in a queue you can tell who hasn't used deodorant and who smokes just with your nose.
Some smokers really stink, actually.
And after a while your food will suddenly come alive.
Me mate's Dad smoked a pipe for years. Where the pipe stem stuck into the inside of his cheek, the smoke flowed regularly. Eventually a cancerous growth appeared in that spot.
Too far gone for radio or chemotherapy, so they cut a hole in his cheek and rebuilt it with plastic surgery.
He doesn't smoke that pipe anymore.
This is possibly one of the hardest things you'll ever do in your life but believe me it's worth it.
Look, I'm old, I suffered illness, but I have so much energy since I quit, it's frightening sometimes
Sense of smell is now acute.
Can't say the sense of taste is good, however, as the radiotherapy destroyed most of my taste buds.
And that's just another thing that smoking does.
There's also thrombosis, smoking causes that, leg amputation anybody?
Hehe, smoking is good for you really, no, honest.....
