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.

    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.

Marijuana works well for nausea ...I had a friend who aerated it for nausea during chemo. I wouldn't smoke it though. If you have long term, unrelenting nausea, I would contact your Dr. to make sure everything 's ok.

So I confessed to the doc that I was smoking and she gave me chantix not sure if any I you guys have tried it yet but any hints ? Or things I should know?

My clients quit smoking on it. One rather smoke cuz to her it was cheaper then getting the refill.

I've started sneaking cigs also. Bad choice. I tried chantix, but it gave me very bizarre dreams...had to quit on my own...it's an incredibly powerful addiction.

Yes it is am I so mad that I stared again but I love to just hang out and have a smoke. I fallow all the other rules and feel so much better with out the weight. Some stressful live events happened and I am right back at square one with smoking I should just quit cold turkey.

Cool maybe e-cig will be best for me <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

I started using Ecigs as something flavorful to keep my hands busy watching tv instead of munching on junk food. I have a waffles flavor that is full of buttery maple goodness. Highly recommended!

Cigarettes are powerfully addictive. I'm a non-smoker but my hubby was a smoker for six years in his late teens into early twenties. He quit cold turkey in 1981, but it was hard and he was not an easy person to be around for a while. That's 32 yrs ago - he says to this very day cigarette smoke smells so good to him! That is the power it has...

Congrats to all who have stopped and wishing success to those who are still trying...

terry1118 tell your husband he did the right thing which I'm sure he knows but a high five anyway. We all know smoking can lead to lung cancer, stomach cancer, but in men, who are long time smokers, they have a better chance of developing bladder cancer. My hubby quit after about 48 years but way too late. Developed bladder cancer and died within two years from the diagnosis and he was about three months shy of a five year cancer survivor from prostrate cancer when diagnosed with bladder cancer. Long term survival for bladder cancer is five years. So good job for the long term success being smoke free.
