My odd excuse for quitting

I'm having all of my wisdom teeth out next month and, in trying to avoid any complications afterwards, have quit smoking. Has made me feel a bit sad that I couldn't do it sooner for heath or financil reasons, but am glad I've finally taken the plunge :)

I had that done under general aesthetic when I was 19. It wasn't anywhere near as bad as I'd expected, didn't swell up much and it wasn't that painful.

The worst bit was a sore jaw after the operation due to the mouth being clamped open and eating wasn't much fun at 1st, avoid peanuts they get stuck in the holes.:eek:

At that age I didn't smoke regularly, and I didn't smoke while it healed.

Just don't do what I did and start again afterwards!

All the best with it.
