I am using filters to help prevent or lessen physical withdraw symptoms of nicotine. Step 1= holds 25%, Step 2= 50% and I am on step 3 which filters out 70% of the nicotine and tar. I have chest pains today that I woke up with, and a nasty cough. I've had headaches the last couple days as well. I need to know if chest pains and coughing and all is a part of possible physical withdraw symptoms. Help please! Share your experiences or whatever you can! Thanks!

Sounds about right. I quit smoking cold turkey 15 years ago and it was a week of hell for headaches, chest pains and coughing. Good for you though, keep up the fight. You can do it.

I quit smoking almost 6 years ago and I did it cold turkey. I was sick as hell, had the headaches, nausea, dizziness, coughing and wheezing. I have been clean and sober from drugs for 8+ years and quitting smoking was harder and the withdrawal symptoms were much harder to deal with. Good luck, though. You have come so far, don't give up now! It'll take about a week after you have that last cigarette before the withdrawal is finally over with, at least it did for me.
Keep up the good work!!!

The more you filter the smoke the deeper you inhale and hold it in to get exactly the same dose of nicotine that your body has adapted to having. Filters actually increase carbon monoxide and the smallest particulates while causing more heart damage than unfiltered (ironically). But filters make it easier for kids to start smoking, the tobacco companies don't miss a trick! Chew the gum, I used Nicotinelle, after 8 months of cutting down that the horrendous heart burn it causes will make you substitute mints, which will rot your teeth but not kill you! But I'm still sucking them suck-cessfully 11 years w/out a smoke. Roll on 64 when I'm going to go back to smoking in time to die!

Yes. I am surprised you haven't had that cough all along. I have never smoked personally,but have known several smokers. Good luck with quitting. It is something you should do for you health. Not to make things that much harder, but you are going to gain some weight as well. Never fails.

All I had was the urge to smoke, really bad for two months - dump the filters they might be causing the problem I would think you are way to young - under 30 to have heart problems Go to your Dr & get checked out soon if this goes on a couple of days.

Yes they are withdrawl symptoms. Im off them 10 years now and I went through hell giving them up. I had weird dreams and everything.. I hate them now and I hate what they were doing to me..They are more addictive than heroin.. In my Country Ireland the government banned them from all public places like pubs and restaurents and cinemas etc. it was the best thing they ever did.. Its much easier now for people who want to quit because there are less temptations around now..

The headaches, yes.
But with the chest pains, you would be better off seeing a doctor.
The cough quite likely is just plain from the smoke.

It could be or you could be developing allergies or a cold..it's hard to say at this point..the headaches, and coughing could be caused by either..
