A thought for smokers

[ebonisekim 1,713]

I'm 1 yr and months out from being smoke free I read on this forum that stop smoking makes you gain weight and honesty it's true .. So the ppl who wanna stop smoking what of you stop a yr after being sleeved and gain weight it would be a waste of your money .. I gained 25 pounds when I stop smoking at the beginning of my journey .. I just thought it was something to think about its something I think about .. I'm struggling everyday w staying smoke free because I was a stress smoker and eater and now that I really don't or smoke it's hard to deal w the stress .. Gaining weight back is more fearful

Can't say enough about how easy it was to transition to e-cigarettes...and they're (my) doctor approved! I don't miss smoking at all!

After smoking for 17 years I also quit by using an e cigarette. I smoked that for one year and now I am completely smoke free and losing weight! I highly recommend the e cigarette!

I stop cold turkey w no help I woke up one day and threw my pack away .. My Q is so u still use the e cig now ?

Yes, I still vape. My doctor is fine with that habit, so I've decided that there's no need for the nicotine withdrawal at this time.

I was using the vap, then I got a nicotine patch, quit the patch & bought some liquid with no nicotine since its the nicotine they say is bad. We'll see...

My doctor is very hesitant to sleeve smokers. They said (don't know if it's a scare tactic or true) but it can put an ulcer on your small stomach. I quit about 8 years ago, then started back up after my second child was pure colic for 5 months (6 years ago) ... quit again after I couldn't breathe, and haven't looked back. The only time I've craved it since was when I was pregnant with my 3rd child. Most crave food but I wanted a cig. I was good though and kept my cravings in my head only

I remember the days of smoking in restaurants. Seems so long ago!
