Pre quit questions

for 18 år siden 0 +0 / -0 481

Just a few questions before I quit. First, if you don't use any nic. replacement, how long does it take your body to actually clease you of nicotine? How about the carbon monoxide? Second, I have been on blood pressure medicine for 14 years and I have worked out for this whole year and have gotten to a great resting pulse rate for a smoker (65) what is going to happen when I don't have any nicotine in my body? What are the symptoms of low blood pressure or pulse rate and how can you tell the difference between that and the normal dizzyness that comes from withdrawl? (I talked to my doctor and she just said "don't worry about it" but I am, I think she doesn't really believe I'm going to quit because we have talked about this almost everytime I see her) Third, when is my quit meter going to start, will it be at midnight? What time zone is the site on? I am hoping to be able to get up and see at least one or two minuites of life on my meter.

You know those nicotine testing kits that you use for teenagers (not mine, I know all of them smoke) when do you suppose that I would test negitive on those? How many hours is your time from central time here in texas. Am I going to activate the meter somehow? Can I do it when I go to bed on wen?

I think you will find a lot of useful information in the http://www.stopsmokingcenter.net/program/glovecompartment.aspx Road to Success download book found on this site. I believe page 13 has answers to some of your concerns.

I thought nicotine left your body in approx. 3 days ... at least that is what I have read.

Mama, Your should test negative when you're body is free of nicotine. Will probably take a few weeks, longer if you're using NRT's. We're about an hour ahead of Texas. The meter is activated according to your quit date. It will start on your quit date. Hope this helps, Danielle __________________________ The SSC Support Team

Congradulations Mama!!! I am not sure that I can answer your questions, but I can tell you what I've been through since my new start/quit. I didn't use any nic. replacements (my wife, who still smokes, thinks that I should have) Drink plenty of water, this will help to clean out the toxins, don't forget to breath, deep, relax, and be proud of your decision. Congradulate yourself WHEN you get over an urge to smoke. I have bought myself an endless supply of suckers, something to put in my mouth and fiddle with. As for the blood pressure, keep tabs on that, you may need some type of nic.replacement to help with that. You can do this!! stay here, and write often.

Mira, you may find them at a drug store/pharmacy. Or google "nicotine test kit" and take your pick.

Mama, Check the time stamped on the posts. It is just after 10pm in Ontario (EDT), I believe it's around 8pm in Texas? Your meter should flip over in just under two hours.
