Heatgirl03 41 Posted July 27, 2016 I am just starting the process and currently a smoker. I am going to quit but in need of little help. Does anyone know if they would approved of the vapor e cigarette with no nicotine? I just like the fruity flavors. I quit smoking for over a month and my sister took my vape. Yes I started back..... It's so hard if you are smoker and everyone smokes at my job. Any input would be appreciated! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frenchie1977 262 Posted July 27, 2016 Vaping just did not work for me, I went back to cigarettes, but I'm now taking chantix and should be completely off cigarettes in four days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heatgirl03 41 Posted July 27, 2016 Congrats!!!! Vaping did work but I don't know if I can do that if I'm having surgery. I have time, I still have tons of things to do before approval but I really don't want to stop last minute. I'm going to my Dr next week so I may ask for chantix.

amyflores 23 Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) My dr approves it. Said I can use the gum, the Patches, or vapors I don't like the liquid vapors and found mark10 at speedway and it has been my life saver. It's not the same but it really helps Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Edited July 27, 2016 by amyflores Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amyflores 23 Posted July 27, 2016 I had to have a urine test (for anabasine) that is found in tobacco. And the lab didn't even test me for it (they didn't know what it was) now I have to retake it, and I'm very upset it's hard to stay away from smoke even when I havnt smokes since May Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gordita81 98 Posted July 27, 2016 I also quit using a vape pen. It is not for everyone. My surgeon said 2 months nicotine free. He does a urine test as well. He didn't specify how I should quit, just that I do.so far I am doing well. No nicotine for at least 2 weeks now.

Heatgirl03 41 Posted July 27, 2016 That's amazing!!!! I think the vape will work for me since it worked in the past! Keep up the good work and congrats on 2 weeks!!!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anrobe 34 Posted July 27, 2016 Chantix really helped me when I quit (it was about 8 years ago). It just helped make the cigarette taste like a cigarette. Within a few days, I'd quit for good. I'm not sure the vaping would have worked for me as a big part of it was letting go of my little habits around smoking. But, in the end, whatever works, right?!

Jadane_dm 34 Posted July 27, 2016 Thankfully they scheduled for me to take my nicotine test at the end of month 2 out of my 6 months. I smoked month 3-5 but I stopped because I'm scared of being retested by my surgeon right before surgery. I don't have an addiction though so I could stop cold turkey if need be Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
