E-Cigs

So as I'm sure I've mentioned my mother is joining me on the great MGB Adventure. She wasn't sure if she'd be a candidate, since she's a smoker and all. Dr. H said that he would prefer she stop smoking, but that he would still do the procedure on her anyway.

Well, mom decided to quit smoking. At first she cut out all the cigarettes she didn't really need (the ones she'd smoke when bored of when she needed something to do with her hands) then she slowly cut back from there. She's gone from a full pack to a little under half a pack in a matter of a few weeks, where as all her previous attempts had failed.

Mom has been floating around half a pack a day when she hit her plateau, the doctor prescribed her the Chantax (she's had it before and it failed), but what has really helped her out is the new E-Cigarette. It has a little bit of nicotine without any of the other chemicals and helps dull the edge of her craving. The one she purchased comes with 4 strengths of nicotine and as she progresses she's supposed to lessen the strength.

So far it's worked well for her. The best part, however, is the fact that it comes in flavoured filters. She can get chocolate, cherry, mint, or tobaccoo. I joked around that after the surgery that will be how mom gets her chocolate fix, she'll smoke it.
