I quit smoking ten months ago with the help of a vaporizer gradually lowering the dose of nicotine until I got to 0. I m 41 and had been smoking for over 20 years. I have had slight asthma since I was a teenager but since I ve quit smoking my asthma has got worse and worse to the point when i m using my ventolin inhaler at least ten times a day (2 puffs) my chest and breathing seems to be worse each day. I ve had so many viruses and illnesses since I quit also, it almost makes me think that if I started smoking again i d feel healthier!! Please help
Hello, It sounds like you have developed chronic obstructive pulmonary disease from smoking. You need either an anticholinergic inhaler to take regularly or a combination steroid plus long acting bronchodilator (like adverse) to take regularly. This would ease your symptoms, and you would not need the Ventolin so often. Please don't start smoking. See your doctor as soon as possibleRegards
