pebulz 135 Posted March 25, 2013 The way my husband started quitting is by attacking one habit at a time. First he quit smoking in his vehicle. Next he quit smoking at home' date=' so he was only smoking at work and at the bar. He is still working on those. We won't be going to the bar anytime soon so that habit will be avoided. He quit buying them which has helped, but at work there are a lot of smokers and they keep offering him cigarettes if he will go on a smoke break with him.[/quote'] I dont smoke in the car or house so that makes it easier and i stopped buying them however my hubby still does... I stay home during the day with my 2 yr old so i cant smoke much but when i need a minute to relax i go outside and have one so im trying to figure out what i can do when i need a quick 5 minute break i also was always a big smoker when i get on the phone so ive stopped that and now when i get on the phone i try to have a quick conversation with whoever it is before i get the urge to go outside for one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He used to have one right when he woke up. Then he smokes 3 before he works out, then, 3 more after that, another after lunch, one before leaving for work then he would smoke on the way to work. He smoked 2 packs per day and is now down to 2 cigarettes per day. We did not smoke in our house though because it would smell to bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TxDumplin 69 Posted March 25, 2013 I quit smoking tobacco cigs 7 months ago with a ecig. This ecig still has nicotine....will I have to stop this too before surgery. I wrote on my medical form that i do the ecig....but Dr. never said anything about it???.....I'll be so bummed if they cancel surgery because of this. How long does nicotine stay in your blood????..Anyone know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinnyjess2013 39 Posted March 25, 2013 Frick!!!!! I just got a call from the bariatric center.. they need me up there Thursday for my class! But I have to work! If I can't get off work Thursday I have to cancel and change my date for a later time!! To make it all worse I won't know if I can have Thursday off till 5am Thursday morning. If I can't take a vacation day I guess I'll take the points against me. Which means I'll get a write up the next day. Grr I hate the points system!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
