Senior Member HarryHonolulu Posted June 21, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted June 21, 2018 Hey guys I have a procedure in two months. I don’t consider myself to be a smoker- I have had a couple cigarettes with friends on nights out and that’s about it. Unfortunately these last few days I was staying with friends who smoke and inevitably I had a couple cigarettes. I immediately regretted it. I won’t touch them again and certainly not before or after my surgery. But should I be concerned about the impact these few cigarettes might have on my outcome?

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted June 21, 2018 Administrators Share Posted June 21, 2018 That should have no effect on the results. I’m not a smoker, but when I go out with friends and have a few drinks, I will inevitably smoke a few cigarettes as well. I never had any issues with growth.

Senior Member voxman Posted June 22, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted June 22, 2018 'Very Light Social Smoking'. I like the concept (and I am an ex-smoker - but quit 41 years ago). But I realized that there is no such thing as Light Emphysema or Light Lung Cancer. Or in my sister's case, Light Jaw Cancer. I know, I'm such a Buzz Kill. I'm serious. Just look at my face.

Senior Member gillenator Posted June 22, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted June 22, 2018 Casual smoking is nothing to experiment or engage in...it will inevitably lead to more smoking. Nicotine is one of the most if not the most addictive substances on this planet. And it's no wonder why many cannot quit. My advice?...quit it altogether as I know firsthand what it's like to have lung cancer and living with one lung. 1 Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.

I am going to take this to heart. although I don’t necessarily agree that casual smoking “inevitably leads to more smoking”. I myself, and several of my friends, smoke maybe 2-3 cigarettes per month and have never felt the need to smoke more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
