Smoking Questions



Recommended Posts

I "officially" quit the day of surgery 1/28/13 and had maybe 3 since then before I found out that I was pregnant. Since then I've had a few bad cravings for one but I realize that it's not worth it. Fight them cravings girl! And find something else to do when it hits. I used to and still do nibble on a baby carrot when I get a cigarette craving.

My will power took the best of me & I bought the E cigs. I puffs a few & I feel good. It's not nicotine free but I'm searching for nicotine free.

Hang in there Mami. We all have cravings for something, wether it is food, cigarets or sex ;) lol. We still eat food and have sex.... we just have to learn moderation and timing. You know what is best for you. You'll make the right decision. Don't beat yourself up to much, it will only make the need stronger (or so I think). You got this girl!

Thanks hubby told me today that I'm crazy & I look stupid out side smoking a fake cigarette. He said just buy the real thing or just take the stupid thought of smoking out if my mind cuz I look stupid.

Do you think an E-cig smokers looks stupid puffing air? I saw someone e-smoking & I thought it was fantastic. I didn't think she was crazy once.

Off topic, but having followed you for a while now, your husband sounds like a jerk....sorry, been wanting to say it for a while. He really needs to figure out how to support someone instead of beat them down.

Yes he sure is a jerk. He doesn't support anything I do. I'm sure he will bitch next year after I have plastic surgery. I simply want to smoke with out getting cancer so if smoking air makes me look stupid & feel good so be it. I just order nicotine free screw on thing. This will wear out I know it's just something I'm going threw. But let me enjoy my self. I'm not harming others & it's not making me want the real thing. I'm satisfy with my puffing air.

Just wanted to say I smoked for thirty years... Oh god 30 is so long... Well I quit to have the surgery and I really didn't think it was going to work . I had quit several time and nothing stuck. This time I had acupuncture. It was amazing. I quit after the first treatment and had three total. It was like magic!!! Anyway I just wanted to comment that I miss them too but I'm so happy not smoking now. With the money I'm saving my husband and I will be going to Ireland and Scotland for the honeymoon we never had!!

Who cares if you look stupid?!? I mean I personally don't even think twice about it. I say screw judgmental people! I've had enough of them! Live your life for you and make decision in your life that you are ok with because your the person the has to live with them.

Like I said I used e-cigs to break a pack a day habit last June. Best thing I ever did. Have I gotten some weird looks? Yeah. But I also had a lot of friends/coworkers ask about them, try them, and it got them off tobacco too.

Oh my Gosh I am do glad you guys are talking about this I have wanted to post something but have been to chicken. I have been around smokers at a few gatherings lately I have always been a social smoker and then became a 1/2 a pack a day person and quit to have rny it is so hard to be around everyone smoking I have been craving really bad. It does not help that it is summer and relaxing outside with a smoke is my fave. so i Gave in and have been having a few puffs. I think I may get an e cig to have in those social situations. I don't want to get cought off gard I need something :)

Who cares how it looks? If it keeps you from smoking, it's worth it!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
