Alright.
Now here, I am not looking for the, "OH, YOU SHOULD JUST QUIT NOW" sort of stuff.

I enjoy smoking my cigarettes.

Is it dangerous to smoke prior to an adult Tonsillectomy?
What are the chances of having clotting issues?

If it is extremely dangerous, how many days or weeks in advance should I take a break from smoking?

I would recommend giving up cigarettes for 10 days before the surgery. Having tonsils out at as an adult is very much more of a blow to the system than if you were seven years old. There are ways to give up, such as the nicotine patches. My father gave up after having a wad of cigarette paper
lit in front of him, having the flame beaten out and smelling the smoking paper. Disgusting.

He still died of lung cancer eleven years later aged 67.
Having a couple of drinks a day is healthy. Having a few cigarettes a day is not. Most people smoke at least twenty to thirty.

When ever I play basketball Im out of breath really quick. If Im not smoking cigarettes and only smoking an e-cig will my ability to run for long periods of time increase???

I have a friend with asthma and COPD, who bought the Ecig. There are several kinds and she got the one without nicotine, but has had to wear the nicotine patches too. She says she’s already feelng better and thinks she’s really going to love it. They have them in our area now, but the dadgum starter kit is $69 plus tax…I would hate to pay that much and it not work dontcha know? She said they make them in nicotine free, regular, menthol, and low. You get a battery and 5 cartridges to start with. She said she was told it’s the tar and other chemicals in cigs that do the harm, not the nicotine?

She said she loves it because you can smoke it in places where smoking has been banned, there isn’t any smoke and no smell. She said there’s an atomizer that comes with it if you want the visual effects of smoke.

I am trying to find an effective way to quit. I have looked into electronic cigarettes and wondering if it works to quit? If so, which ones are the best brand to go with?

Hi and Happy New Year!

Some say that using electronic cigarettes can help you quit smoking. Currently there is no scientific evidence for or against it. One option is to gradually lower the level of nicotine in your cartridges to become nicotine and tobacco free.

The other option is to smoke electronic cigarettes with zero nicotine cartridges while applying nicotine patches. That way you separate addiction and habit.

I would recommend one of the five brands listed here.

All these ecigs are popular and have received good user ratings.
