Yes, it is true. Some people do get sick shortly after quitting smoking. Their respiratory systems begin to clear and coupling that with a slightly impared immunity – it is very easy to pick up a respitory infection or ‘chest cold’.
I’ve seen it many times. It doesn’t happen to everyone, but it does happen.

Your body is going through withdrawal when you quit smoking, just like any other drug, your immune system will weaken and you will have “cold-like” symptoms until all of the nicotine is out of your body. Depending on how much a person smokes it could take up to two weeks for all of the nicotine to leave the body.

Its not neccesarily being sick but more of a cough b/c your lungs are trying to expel all that build-up that was put there but it`s not bad at all. I quit 2 months ago but now I feel free and I only coughed for 3 days.

from what i understand your imune system is weakened so it is possible to get sick.

no totally wrong. but when they are seriously addicted, their mentality remains so for several weeks. but they too will be ok after several weeks.

Their body is used to the nicotine and when you stop smoking your body is going through a type of withdrawal. Try using the patch or some of that “gum”.
