As an orthopedic surgeon, I see articles almost monthly documenting the ill effects of smoking on surgical results. Clots, healing problems, etc. And I tell my diabetic smokers that they are not allowed to smoke AND have diabetes. Too much of a negative load on the body...

Smokers seem puzzled and amazed when I tell them it doubles the chance of infection and leg clots after hip/knee replacement surgery. Bad for the heart and lungs, yes, but also bad teeth and even...skin wrinkles!

Best of luck to you! You've made a good decision!!

I used the patch for about 6 months; had to break the habit and all of the "triggers". there are still days when the thought comes to mind. But, I resist the momentary temptation. was probably ONE of the hardest things I ever had to do (quitting) but also one of the best things I have ever done.


Just keep trying and don't give. I refused to allow myself ANY excuse.

good luck; takes time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

3 days, but only because we're too broke to buy smokes after the vet bills hit.

20 yrs from now,the tabac will still trigger a chemical stimulus.
Conditioning yourself to associate that switch with "I hate that shit"is the way.


I dipped most of the way through high school. I finally quit after packing a cheek full of Beech-Nut at a Mississippi gas station, looking down at my spit cup, and going "what the hell was I thinking?!?!"

The first few months was tough, but totally worth it. I dipped once since and almost immediately threw up into a kitchen sink.

Congratulations! You can do it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Update,

Congratulations on your 2nd year. Now that you've got that handled what's the hold up with the car. Do you have a build thread? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
