Hello,
I also am trying to quit and just recently have I cut down a lot (from about a pack a day to about four a day) and i've been facing constipation as well. I'm guessing its normal. The best thing i've found to do is use a stool softener (laxitives don't work for me).

yes it's been 3 months and 5 days QUIT!
all kindsa belly troubles
I actually thought about smoking today to use the toidie.
am I 3 or so years too late?

i smoke and every morning when i get my first smoke is when i defficate so i really think there is something in these smokes that helps to do this.. there r so many chemicals in ciggs, i mean ones that make no sense other than to addict us and keep us slaves, so who knows? , other than the rj renolds scientists?ive tried to quit a few times unsuccessfully and had to use stool softeners, ive done all kinds of laxatives and find that magnessium citrate works but , i prefer the stool softeners bc they dont make my stomach cramp up. I wish you good health, wealth and luck...

yeah its true and thankyou for confirming im not mad lol.
i thought it was just me and people used to think i was nuts. I wanted so badly to stop smoking and i just could not go to the toilet.
I already use stool softeners as my morphine causes real bad constipation but still need that cigarette in the morning to help me go.

I was actually quite worried about my constipation. It has been bothering me for months now and starting last week that it got really worse. I started to link up the relation between quitting smoking and constipation until I found these confirmations from you. I have quit smoking for 5 months now and will never give in for a solution to constipation. I guess I just have to drink a lot more water and eat more fiber-rich foods. I never had constipation before and after I picked smoking unless I ate lots of chili. Therefore I strongly believe my body will be tuned back to normal one day.

hey it does take time for constipation .But it will go slowly slowly .. i havebeen smoking from last 5 years and i quit smoking . In early days I fount myself in a very serious trouble but I tried my level best.Inatke of salad without using any topping and just pour a lil bit fresh lemon juice . Drink a glass of water early in d morning . Ok it will definetly help u .. I m fine .. It will take many days but it will definelt helps in constipation.One more thing u can do u can just drink two or three glass of lukewarm water with lemon juice and honey .. it will help you.just take care

Yes, that is right, fluids and that Lemon juice, those works really nice. And try not to eat dry foods, at least there must be soup in your meal at least. You see, fluids helps soften the fecal matter.

With the introduction of smoking alternatives, for those chain smokers who are not mentally prepared to even gradually withdraw their smoking urges, This new concepts will play a major role to the beginning of the end of nicotine contamination.
