Question?

I always smile really big and say "I quit!" :) I'm so proud of it and I can't wait to tell doctors and nurses who ask that I have quit! Crave the Quit!

Based on the medical profession, when is the common question, "Do you smoke" no longer lead to "how long were you a smoker and how much did you smoke"? Will it always be an issue? When is it safe to simply answer "no", when asked if I smoke?

Stormy, I'd have to agree with MissyFit. Giving your physician, surgeon or other healthcare professional all the facts allows them to make informed decisions regarding your plan of care and what's best for you and the current situation. Be proud and tell them you've quit. Nobody is happier to hear that from a patient then a doctor or a nurse! Danielle ______________________ The SSC Support Team

If that someone asking is someone that cares for your health, then it's imperative they know you used to smoke. It makes a difference in diagnoses of certain conditions/diseases and in some cases, how you're anesthestized. Anybody else asks, enjoy saying "no" :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/2/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 622 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 12,455 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2220.54 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 65 [B]Hrs:[/B] 22 [B]Mins:[/B] 33 [B]Seconds:[/B] 42
