If you want it done then you need to stop.. Simple.

If you go to your doctors they can help you, I think there are specific pills that are for quitting. Is alot of stop smoking support out there so use it

Hiya, I tried everything to give up patches tablets everything. In the end i was recommended a book to read by Alan Carr – the only was to stop smoking permanantly & since reading that i havent touched one or had any cravings that was 6 years ago & i had smoked for about 15years on at least 20 a day!!!!! Its mad but worked for me so deffo worth a try!! Good luck xx

hey gymchick, what surgeon are u having? i saw dr grob and she asked me if i smoked and i said yes (about 5 a day) and she said, oh thats fine, u dont have to give up as u dont smoke that much. i was expecting her to say u have to give up but she didnt i’m having mr c and he hasnt mentioned smoking either but i have cut down, on about 3/4 a day now, hoping to cut down to 2/3 a day then eventually none a day lol. xx

Hiya Nade1 im having Mr Falladah i smoke about 10-15 a day. He said i must give up no patches or nicotine products for 2 weeks before im trying really hard but not having a lot of luck just worried what else to do i have spoken to the stop smoking clinic just think its because i have so much stress in my life at the moment thats not helping

Paulat what is the book called please xxx

Hi Gymchick don’t use any pills to stop smoking I’ve tried before with a pill called champix my gp gave it to me but I went completely mental on the 2nd week I’ve smashed my bedroom wall with a hammer and I was very angry and nervous don’t do it those pill are evil just think of your beautiful boobs after the BA and you will stop don’t worry that’s what I am planning to do with mine

Hi Gymchick

I disagree with the above post. I used Champix to stop smoking before my BA, while it may not be suited to everybody as the above post shows I found it to be great. It completly stopped me smoking with no ‘strange’ side effects at all. I do know people who have taken it that have had weird dreams as a result but nothing like that for me. I felt exactly the same as usual, only I had no desire at all to have a cig.

I thought i was told that the stop smoking pills were used as anti-depressants in america? I wouldnt use them if thats the case! Why put a mixture of things in your body? Just stick to patches or the book or plain simple will-power!! Although easier said than done i appreciate!
