  • Whenever you want.....enjoy the lung cancer and ulcers in your stomach you get from doing it. Seriously.....why would you put yourself through surgery just to do something stupid like that.

  • If you can do without them this long you may as well keep on keepin' on.

Yes they are vey bad for you and your doing this great thing... The sleeve for ur health.... Then u will die too young from emphysema or COPD which is basically drowning in ur own lung secretions on dry land ! Trust me saw it happen to my mom!

You're only 16?? You should just stay quit. TRUST me. I started smoking at 13... and I quit a month ago in prep for my sleeve. I'm never going back. If I feel the need to smoke socially at a party or something I'll get an E-cig and use a non nicotene liquid in it. You don't need that monkey on your back!

no need to be rude.

Not being rude, but as an educator, you don't need to smoke at your age, and definitely not after bariatric surgery. You are mature now, because you made a great decision about health. Smoking is not healthy for you

Why would you subejct your body to that? Cancer, emphysema, blood clots, stroke - all an increased risk after having a surgery. You're young - 16 years old. About the age I was when I started smoking. I quit 5 years ago and I'll NEVER subject myself to that death sentence again. Its not an "if" you end up with more medical issues, its a guaranteed WHEN. I thought you were trying to be healthy! There is nothing at all cool about it. You smell NASTY when you smoke.

You have made a very grown up decision as a man to improve your health - why would you go back to making the childish decision to smoke?
