Smoking Questions

Before we throw stones at each other remember we are all human here,and no one is perfect.

I had WLS in May 30, 2012 and I reach under goal weight. Before I had WLS I had quit smoking way before. Actually I quit smoking when my son was about 1 1/2 years old when I found out he has autism. My son is now 3 years old. So I had quit for a long time now.

I been doing so great excellent awesome,but my 15 years wedding anniversary came up yesterday,and for some stupid reason there was 3 skinny cigars left from my hubby pack mind you he isn't a smoker,but occasionally he smokes cigars. Every 1-3-6 months. I decided hey it's my anniversary let me have a smoke! Oh no knowing about the risk,ulcers,and everything wrong that can happen. I smoke the cigar,and enjoy every bit. Today I once again took 1 cigar,and smoke half of it,and threw it away,and starting thinking OMG!!! what the hell I'm doing???

Well I don't want to continue smoking knowing I may die especially after having WLS,but I was thinking if I buy the E-Cig with no nicotine will it be safe for my body just to get this stupid I want to smoke again out of my head.

Trust me I don't wanna die,and I quit for my son.

Thanks and plz be nice to me. I know I had WLS for the best,and I sure don't want to cause harm or die cause I'm stupid.

  • Don't feel bad TinyMammi - I quit smoking the night before surgery, and my surgery was 4/9/12, I feel so much better not smoking but I miss it every day. Some friends and family still smoke and when

  • Chantix gave me weirdest and scariest dreams ever... I quit cold turkey twice, hopefully last time was for good, I am non smoker for 6 months

    OMG if you smoked that little, don't even do the ecig. Just go for a walk or drink a glass of Water or run the vacuum or something when the urge strikes. I was 1-2 packs a day.

Hi all

Im a pre opper and was told I need to quit for life cos of the risks so I said yeah no probe cos like Tinymammi I only smoked 1-3 a day. Wow it IS crazy hard! I'm in the UK so I have the inhalator things no vapour just nicotine and its not working! I haven't had a CIG in just over a week but I'm dying for one :{ e-cigs are not regulated here yet so u don't know what's in them. Aaarrrgggghhhhhh!

Rant over thanks for listening :-)

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!!

That's awesome. Yes cigarette are expensive but this is only a stage thing. I'm sure once next year kicks in my ass will be like hello sexy woman.

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 :)

My favorite were the blu ecigs classic flavor....I've been quit for only a couple months now...hoping I can stay that way. Mami don't feel bad!
