Why do I keep sneezing when I quit smoking?!


Question: Why do I keep sneezing when I quit smoking!?
I've been quitting smoking for a while!. Two weeks on two weeks off etc etc ad tedium!. But that's not my question!. Each time I get a few days in I start sneezing!. Now I'm aware that quitting ironically makes you cough, cos all the gak is working it's way out of your lungs, but why the sneezing!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
First - Congratulations on attempting to quit smoking!.
But do yourself and your lungs a favor - quit completely!.
Never touch that evil stuff!.

Mechanism behind your sneezing!? Your body adjusts to absence of chemicals and smoke and it is happily breathing away!. Then, you zap it with smoke!. So it is asking: "hey, what the heck are you doin' buster!?!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. I am trying to get back to normal and you are putting some garbage in here!."

Listen to it!. The follicles inside your lungs are trying to happily wave away and receive oxygen and you are depriving it of its natural function!. So it tries to get rid of by a violent shake (sneeze)!. Makes sense!?

In our lungs are tiny hairs called cilia and when you smoke it paralyzes these hairs!. about 72 hours after a person quits smoking the cilia regain normal function pushing up and moving all the phlegm!. It is completely normal and will go away after a while!. The sneezing works the same way, it is a reaction to gaining normal function of your lungs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Like you've said, "the gak is working it's way out of your lungs"!. The windpipe is connected to the nose in someways so if there is something blocking, you should get it!. And for a little more help, getting off and on doesn't make you stop smoking!. If you want to stop smoking, you need to have the determination to do it so maybe fill your time with something else rather than smoking whenever you feel like it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your sinuses are clearing up from all the smoke & tar that is clogged up there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I do not know I've never smoked!.!.!. GO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
