I was at my ex husbands house the other day picking up my son who was there taking care of his dad because he has a kidney stone and isn't feeling well. While I was there, I noticed a spot on his forehead that looked disturbing so I asked him about it. He said he was having it biopsied next week. Then he told me he wasn't going to be able to pick our son up on time Friday (today) because he was having gum surgery. I looked at my son and said, "another reason to never start smoking. Gum disease is caused by smoking." At that time, my ex looked at our son and said, "it can be. it complicates it." So, I said, "No, it probably caused it." My ex is in such denial!
The good news is, he asked his doc about Chantix and got a script. He doesn't know when he's going to fill it, but at least he got it.
Those of us here who have already quit, no matter how far along, are SO lucky. Getting started really is the hardest part.
