I was going to try to wait until next week to go back to the dr, give it some more time to improve, but I don't know.
I only have two cigarettes left and I did not buy another pack. Going to see if quitting improves my cough. I don't have much faith in myself. I've tried to quit so many times. But now I have a real, solid reason to quit, not just the abstract "it's bad for you". So maybe I can make it this time. We will see. Generally I quit for a month or so, fall into depression, no longer care if I live or die, so I pick it back up.
I just want to sleep from now until morning and beyond, I'm so tired. Wonder if it's a side effect of the cough syrup. No codeine in it.

Quitting could cure your cough.
You may very well have "Smoker's Cough"
I know this from years of on and off smoking.
I have been smoke free for about 6 months now.
Quitting takes a series of consistent right decisions.
Once the withdrawal pains come we must decide to ride them out .
As time goes on it gets easier.
If you have a cough it is the right time to quit.
Best Wishes!
