Smoking

[Qwerty]

My DS smokes and I wish he didn't, but it's preferable to drug taking.

My Dad smoked all his life, not just cigarettes but a pipe as well. Cut down as he got older, but never gave up completely.

Well done Mr Q !

WG my dad smoked all his life and a pipe too he was 94 when he died so there is no telling is there 😬

Oh excellent Qwerty!!

I never thought my ex would give up, being life long smoker, but he did. He has a vape, but at least he has kicked the tobacco habit - some years ago. It can be done

[Qwerty]

2 full weeks as a non smoker , just saying 😬

I agree as well. The therapy will make so much difference to everything in his life, and perhaps even get him to the stage where he can give up smoking anyway without anti-smoking medication.

I agree also, the therapy and your OH's state of mind would win over giving up smoking in my book Qwerty. Perhaps the fact that the therapy is working may have given him the impetus to want to stop smoking. Hopefully this is something he can try to tackle in time without this drug.

I agree Oma, J is doing so well with the therapy.

[Oma]

It's more important to have his Therapy working Qwerty although I can understand your frustration, maybe he will put his mind to it and just stop himself but in the grand scheme of things it's the Therapy that must come out on top isn't it

[Qwerty]

The doctor rang this afternoon er they did say morning 😟 it seems the smoking med messes with the serotonin in your brain so one med may fight against the other. one making you think you don’t want to smoke a cigar and the other med conflicting so he’s going to try it for a week , she has told him if he feels down to stop and go back to the clinic for an alternative ., thing is he’s in the mood to stop doesn’t often happen ☹️

I agree Qwerty the therapy is very important, perhaps deal with the smoking later.
