Hi Farrah,
While I was waiting to undergo the biopsy, I was scared to death. Even then I couldn't quit cold turkey and limited myself to 5 a day.Then I read a book entitled 'The Easy Way To Stop Smoking' by Allen Carr. I used this book as an aid to cut down to one or two a day. Then when I was diagnosed and went into the hospital for radical left neck dissection, I refrained while in the hospital and never lit up again since discharge. I, too smoked since I was a young teenager and I'm 46 now. It's been seven months for me now and the minimal cravings are not worth the risk. Did you have any radiation and/or chemo? Barbara
