Smoking

[zizi_tops 60]

That's great! I was told I had to quit six weeks before my pre-surgery testing. I used to smoke a pack a day for the past 20 years but I quit while pregnant (twice) so on my birthday I had a morning cig with coffee and said good bye to both smoking and caffeine. Best decision I ever made. I feel so much better and happier and my skin looks great.

I'm really into the power of the mind and I followed a program that is called the easy way to quit smoking by Allen Carr I listened to it everyday and sometimes played it when I was going to sleep through the night. I feel that helped me long term because it changed my mind on the way I viewed my habit. New insight is an incredible tool. I was a pack and a half a day smoker for 7 years and have been quit since August 1st. I have no desire to go back. I hope your so proud of yourself it's not an easy decision to make and to stick to.

Al long as it is the nicotine free vape, that should be good, but might want to check with the doc to be sure. A friend of mine did sleeve and when tested for nicotine, failed and had to wait another 30 days before they would retest and finally clear him.

He had vaped and didn't realize there is still nicotine in it. Ended up quitting altogether and is now over a year smoke free and 100 pounds lighter and healthier!

Quitting smoking is easy. I know I must have done it 10 times.

I smoke 20 years and quit two years ago by vaping. I don't vape anymore either after reaching 0 mg of nicotine. I quit after my mother was diagnosed with PAD - a smoking related disease which causes painful, insufficient blood flow to the legs.

The surgery is a reason to quit but don't make it the only reason.
