Ok, so I know having the surgery done is to get healthy, and I am trying to do that, but I am still having a hard time with my smoking. I quit and I go back I quit and go back, I used every possible help thing to help me quit, and I still mentally go back, I don't know if it's the stress, and I don't want to pig out, or what, but does anyone else still smoke, or feel the same way if you are a smoker????

I used a nicotine free e cig and it helped tremendously.

You know I didn't even think of that???? I should try that!!!

The one I got was flavored like coffee. They come in all different flavors. Some people call them hookah sticks because they come in hookah flavors. I got mine at a local head shop. I paid $10 for one and it lasted me a week and a half and I was done.

Really?? It bleeped out the word

H00kah

Do you have a vape shop near you? My friends run one. They offer all their flavors in different levels of nicotine so you can step down your nicotine levels gradually.

There is a head/vape shop down the street from me and I will have to go there and see what they have I didn't know the liquid came in nicotine free, which is what I would want, I don't crave the nicotine, as much as the hand movement and the mental part of being a smoker?

The hand to mouth motion was the biggest thing for me. I went from smoking menthol lights to no nicotine and I was fine. I have a friend who bought liquids with different nicotine levels to wean herself off.

see i don't have an issue with the nicotine, it's just the hand to mouth thing, specially when I am bored or stressed!!

I know how u feel I sometimes crave a cig just a pull to be satisfied or a glass of my moscato not combo ugh

I don't crave the alcohol, just the smoking, I actually slipped back into smoking with everything I been going through, and I need to stop again, just haven't had a chance to get to the head shop in my area??? I need to get there though!!!

Did u have the surgery? How does it feel?

I did have my surgery, I feel great, I had some problems at first, cause I don't heal well, I had the same issue when I had my c-section with my son, and my incision opened up after they took the stitches/staples out. I have had to let my incision close up from the inside out, and it's been rough, but it's almost closed now, and so I am in hopes that at my next appt. with my doctor it will be closed or 99% closed as it's almost there now, and he will tell me I can start working out and doing some weight training. How about you? Have you had your surgery?

Yea I did on the 7 I was just wondering cuz u had smoked and I know smoking effects with healing so idk when will it be ok to do it . In reality I know it will never be ok but I would like to have atleast one with a drink lol

LOL, I know what you mean, I don't drink really, maybe on occasion but very rare!!! I smoke cause it's the only real thing that has ever really calmed me down when I get stressed or mad? I guess that's not a good excuse, but I have smoked since I was 17 and I am now 36, and I just enjoy it? I know its not good for me, and I wish there was some way of replacing it, but those electronic cigarettes just don't have the same effect as smoking a real cigarette? I quit after I had my surgery for maybe a week and a half, and now I just smoke occasionally not like I used to but it's still smoking? I used to smoke a pack a day but now I smoke maybe 5 - 1/2 a pack a day? I don't smoke while I am at work most days which is funny cause that is the place where I stress the most with all the crap I deal with at work, but I am just so busy most days that I don't even think about it?

Oh ok when I did smoke it would be no more than 4 cig sometimes only 2 a day I'm just afraid to go there again sucks my bf smokes and he forbids me to smoke
