I weaned myself from smoking in 8/1993. It was not easy and I believe that quitting was my downfall that led to my weight gain. I had found a book by American cancer org that had many helpful activities to quitting smoking. One was making pro a con list then choosing the most relevant as reason to quit and make it into a mantra. The biggest reason for me to quit was my children testing the waters As teens. Another suggestion was limiting the places you could smoke. Eliminating a Place at a time such as not smoking in the car then not smoking in the bathroom then not smoking while watching tv and so on. Another suggestion was drink water instead of taking a drag. Two reason it flushes your system and helps remove toxins. 21 days after you stop is when your body starts to repair the damage. It doesn’t stop the desire, I dreamed for a full year after that I was still smoking. smoking is a crutch and getting to the place of not smoking is just like overeating. I got down to 1 cigarette at a time and that is when I knew I could stop. wishing you a safe journey.

They gave me a urine test three weeks ago.

I don't remember how they tested but they can for sure tell. I quit cold turkey a long time ago. There is no magic way to quit and its HARD. Every damn day is hard for a long time. But its literally the best thing you can do for your health. Good luck

DO YOU KNOW IF THEY DO ANY BLOOD TESTS FOR SMOKING? I STARTED VAPING VAPING WITH NO NICOTINE VAPE. DO YOU THINK THAT IS OK OR WISE????

 

[Miss Kim]

You're welcome. Would you mind NOT writing in ALL CAPS? It really feels like you're shouting. Thank you. As to vaping, ask your doctor. Do you put something in your vape liquid like a flavoring or marijuana? This is something you should tell your doctor, for sure. For sure, your physical condition is tested extensively, including many, many blood composition tests.

I am so sorry about the caps. thank you for letting me know> I do put non nicotine flavor in?

 

[Miss Kim]

Thank you ! I have only one class left and to take another test for nicotine, then I can schedule my surgery! Whoo Hoo!!

When I finally quit smoking for the last time it was because of pain. Even though I never blew smoke through my nose it hurt in my sinuses to smoke. I respond to pain! Ha, ha, ha. I figure that if I still smoked and had to quit for surgery it would be pain that motivated me again. Cigarettes effect on wound healing is terrible so I think that's what I would focus on if I had to do it now.
