Help![/quote'] Yeah, how long does nicotine stay in your system? I haven't smoked for three days now. I pray I can quit for good. What is the sense in having this surgery to be healthier and then die from cancer or complications from smoking. Pray that I have the willpower to put them down for good. I will pray for you too kimpossible67. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimpossible67 608 Posted August 28, 2012 Nicotine stays in your system a short time, it's the cotinine I'm worried about. I just drowned the rest of my cigarettes, lol. Prayers for you too. How about we keep each other on track. 2:58 pm, last one. I'm bigger than those addictive little suckers and so are you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kisersassy 369 Posted August 29, 2012 Not too bad but if you they of how much weekly you spend on cigs they are cheap. I have a fuma brand electronic cig I bought the start up kit which included the charger and a menthol and light cartridge cost about 25 bucks plus tax. Then I bought the full flavor cartridges which has. 5 cartridges and that lasts me about 2 weeks and it cost 13 bucks. So a lot cheaper then real cigs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
