I know smoking orob the cause of my tongue cancer and I'm 3 days post op and now home. I used patches before op and in hospital, but now Im home my cravings are so bad. Did anyone resume smoking after surgery, and how long after.
I know im a fool, but I cannot cope with just patches and cravings and stresses.
TMany thanks x
I smoked for 50 years
As soon as I had had my first visit at the hospital for the camera I gave up
No second thinking
No help
No vape etc
All my tobacco filters papers I binned 3 pouches 《ouch》went in the bin
Been 9 weeks now and yes I miss it and yes its difficult but continuous smoking will lessen the chances .
Find something to occupy your hands
Walk ,read anything to take your mind off
Please persevere
I wish u well
