To me, it does not sound like a scare tactic. You have an area that requires a biopsy. If it isn't cancer yet, could very well become just that in the future. Quitting GREATLY improves your chances of survival and decreases your chance of recurrence if it is the worst. I will pray that you recieve good news from the results of your biopsy and best of luck quitting. I quit cigarettes using Zyban and chewing TONS of hot cinnamon gum. I wish you the best!!!
