Vaping??

[longlashes23 1]

Anyone quit smoking and start vaping PRE OP? I quit 2 weeks ago and started vaping 0mg surgery date is not set yet

I Vaped 0mg in order to pass my nicotine screen and then stayed at 0mg for 6 weeks after surgery then went back up to my original 3mg. I had been vaping for years before surgery though.

Yes I switched to 0mg and haven't had a cig since and I actually enjoy it! I worry if I'll pass my nicotine test though... how long did yours take to come back? I took it Monday

[Ella's Mommy 9]

It should be back by now. Depends on how long the lab takes. Nicotine from cigarettes takes longer to get out of your system hope 2 weeks was long enough. I know with just 3mg of nicotine from my e-cig it took a week to get out of my system. Good luck on your surgery.

I went cold turkey with cigars two weeks prior because my surgery came about two weeks after my approval so I did a total month cold turkey because my test was right before my package was submitted and I passed. I also vap but I like to puff cigars still

My doctor wants me to quit smoking but i don't think I will make it. I hope it's not a deal breaker if I don't.

Sorry to tell you but it is a deal breaker. You have to have 0 nicotine in your system. I failed my test and the stopped everything. Finally when I was ready to quit they proceeded but we're extra strict with me and tested me right before I was headed into the operating room again.

I have quit smoking cigs for 2 1/2 weeks now but I vape 0mg nicotine.... it hasn't been awful I don't vape a lot but just when I'm really needing a little something. And it's 0mg nicotine just butterscotch flavor. I'm still waiting on my nicotine test to come back.. I took it 3/15... I've been checking online for results non stop lol once they receive results then the surgeon will send off my paperwork.. I was never a heavy smoker though to begin with

Congrats!

I passed my initial paperwork, I quit, and did 0 mg juice. My test wasn't nicotine though, it was the blood carbon dioxide test. I'm not sure what they are going to test for in the pre-op clearance test though.

How long did u vape at 0mg before taking the nicotine screen and how long had it been since u smoked a cigarette?

[Ella's Mommy 9]

I hadn't smoked a cigarette in 2 years so it only took a week for the nicotine to get out of my system for the nicotine test.
