For a lot of people, the act of smoking itself is more addictive than the nicotine. If you find yourself to be one of those people, they do sell e-cigs with no nicotine in them. A lot of folks have successfully quit that way :)

Any of you smoke? Im curious what the doctor told you regarding smoking ?

I was given a paper to sign at my initial meeting saying I am aware of the side effects and I would quit. As I am going for my

Last appointment with my

Doctor they sent me for a nicotine test !!! I hear the results this week. I haven't smoked in a while. I just need to hear that I am negative ! My friend got her surgery canceled twice!

How do they know if you smoke Marijuana ?!!

They drug test you. Some places.. Like my drs office drug test you no matter what. I was surprised though. The urine sample I had to give wasn't as strict as other drug tests I've had to take for employment. I figured it would be just as strict (accompanied by a nurse, water shut off, and no personal belongings with you.... ) heck I took my son, stroller and giant diaper bag with me. I could have smuggled all sorts of stuff in with me. Lol

This is my problem! I just need something to do with my hands when I'm driving or being impatient! I need to look into one of these. I threw my actual cigarettes away and bought an ecig then I gave that up.. I don't need or crave the nicotine but my hands get fidgety! Thanks for the info

I quit smoking cigs in November. I use an e-cig now. I call it my binky. Lol. I have all kinds of flavors, cherry, chocolate, black tea, etc...nicotine isn't what I miss, it's the "me time" I get, just sitting outside smoking... So

The e-cig is awesome!!

I quit smoking 48 days ago because my doctor will not do the surgery if you smoke.... The bad part.. I used chantix to help me quit which caused me to gain about 10 pounds. I feel like I am going completely backwards from where I'm supposed to be. I'm still in my six month supervised visits phase though, so hopefully I dont gain anymore. I dont get to have my surgery until October sometime, but I feel soooo much better now that I quit smoking. I quit well before my surgery because who needs two battles at once? One day at a time

My doctor said we had to quit smoking 2 months before surgery..I quit in January, but I still use the e-cig...

  • 3 weeks later...

My surgeon told me I had to be off cigs for 6 weeks and they test you before surgery and will not do surgery if you are positive. I have been wanting to quit and don't smoke much anyway so this is a great incentive to get me to quit, I'm actually glad they require this.
