Pre Op check today and I can say I don't smoke !!! :)

[yellowsnowdrop]

So, today i go for my pre op check and I woke up this morning and thought that for the first time in years I can say I don't smoke anymore.Still have good days and horrible days when I would cheerfully sell the house for just one cig but I'm still hanging on in there 9 weeks in.Have to say I'm quietly proud of myself. Still on my ecig (again good days and bad) but 6mg of Nicotine and no chemicals like Formaldehyde and Uric acid have to be an improvement. Have a good day all and pat yourselves on the back because we no longer need the cigarettes.

Morning Yellowsnodrop, Hope all goes well with your Pre- Opp checkup.

I to am 9 weeks in, and feel exactly the same as you, and e-cig works better some days than others :-\

Fingers crossed for you today,

Hi ya H

You can get the inhalator with the cartridges from any chemist and most big supermarkets as well. You dont have to go to your GP
