For the recently given up smoking, a question
A question for you, I'm on day 5 of not smoking, and I'm doing fine, not even missing it, thank you champix .
However, whats become apparent over the last 24 hours, is I feel like I've pulled a shed load of muscles in my chest! It feels like feeling, basically like something is compressing the bottom of your ribs and a constant ache.
Talking to a friend who gave up a few years ago, he had the same thing and it did fade away, apparently is your body learning to natually breathe again, rather than being forced air.
Any others currently feeling like this too?

Smoking stops the normal defence mechanisms the gums have and people who smoke lose teeth 4 times faster than people who don't smoke (on average)......
See your dentist about playing catch-up as you might need additional cleaning to see you over the transitional period

By not smoking you have changed the intake to your body significantly and I imagine it is reacting to that.
Don't know how much or how heavily you used to inhale the smoke but your lungs will be reacting to all that fresh air and that may well be causing the feelings in your chest. I did not have that sort of reaction when I stopped but I did not inhale very much at all since it would have made me cough.
Whatever the cause, I doubt it is doing you any harm and it will doubtless wear off.
Good luck in continuing to stop anyway.

The cyanide in cig smoke stops the blood flow to the gums and masks the symptoms, allowing the gums to recede. This allows food to get below the gum line and you may experience bad breath, abcesses under the teeth etc etc.
I have now had to have 8 teeth removed due to this condition, seriously, get to the dentist and get it treated ASAP, as the bacteria eats away at the bone supporting the teeth, and eventually, they will have to be removed.
If you catch it early enough it is treatable, leave it too long and you will be on the road to false teeth.
