Quitting Smoking And Constipation Posted: 06-22-06 15:04pm
This is embarrassing. I've been smoking
for 9 years now. I've tried quitting on
several occasions. Everytime I try to
quit I get really bad constipation. I
actually use cigarettes sometimes to help
me use the bathroom. I was just
wondering if anyone else had problems with
constipation when they have tried to quit
smoking? I really want to quit, and have
set a date for next week. I am just
worried about the constipation again.
It's very annoying. I have heard that it
will pass in a few days but it might take
a few weeks. Any insight would be
helpful.

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).
