It’s good to know there are people in the same boat as me! I have chewed NRT gum for 11 years (only smoked for 10) and probably chewed up to 40 bits of 2mg gum a day!
After been given a slightly high blood pressure at a medical I started looking to see what possible side effects there is to long tem nicotine use – high blood pressure was one. I had always thought the gum was safe, no obvious bad side effects listed.

Im recently into day 7 of ct from vicodin for 2 years!! Thats going good. I also smoke almost 2 packs a day for almost 10 years now. My question is , do you think its safe to ct the cigs also since im having wd's from the vicodin!? I mean i really cant be any sicker or have any worse craving as i already do. Should i just stop while im already sick and just do the physical part of nicotine wd at the same time? Or maybe wait until i feel up to the challenge.
I quit smoking in February of 2000 due to chronic sinusitis. I used the gum for about 3 months to aid me in quitting and it worked well. In September of 2006 I had a stressful event happen and was on the brink of picking up a cigarette. I decided to start the gum chewing instead of smoking. I have been on it ever since. I guess I am coming to the realization that this nicotine gum can be very bad for your health if chewed past the recommended timeframe.
Hello,
My wife has small fiber neuropathy and had been in pain like most. This past weekend she had extreme pain and after 10 years of not smoking she started again. She told me that it takes her pain away better than any medication she is on. I research this a little and found that nicotine will actually cause the SFN to get worse and stop any of here meds that the doctors gave here to work correctly.
I need help.
help!!!! i have had episcleritis on and off for 10 years. In the past 3 years it has gotten so bad. My eyes constantly stay red. I am seeing a rhematologist, but he just seems to shove medicine down my throat. I have had all blood work done, I don't have any rhematology diseases like lupus or RA. The only thing that works to clear it up is high doeses of prednsone. Once I am weined off, it flares right back up.
In 2006, I had an infection in my tonsils so bad that I had a temperature of 104 for one week straight, and then 101 for 3 weeks. I was in the hospital twice for elevated heart rate, the first time I was stuck at 140, the second my BPM was 185 while resting, even while observed for hours at the hospital. The ER doctors were stumped, but noticed when my temperature when down via meds, my heart rate would lower to 100-115.
You are not going to do permanent damage to your brain from a couple nights of drinking and smoking pot. I don't mean to encourage doing things that have some risk of creating dependency, but the actions of cannabis are temporary-- as are most of the effects of alcohol-- provided you aren't drinking to the point of alcohol toxicity (for example, drinking so much that you pass out, repeatedly).
if you have diabetes and you smoke... add the gym into the equation. And if you can reduce tobacco in your spliffs and abstain from alcohol consumption...
Congratulations :) I was a smoker too, and I smoked for 6-7 years, I tried and tried to stop smoking but I just couldn't do it! I tried everything but nothing seemed to work, then 5 weeks ago I found out I was pregnant! After nearly two years of trying for a baby I was overwhelmed! I still continued to smoke for a couple of days, but only a couple of puffs from my husbands cigarette 2-3 times a day, then I looked online about the effects off smoking whilst pregnant and quit straight away!
The severity of the difference would also be dependant on the length of your Herceptin treatment. Oncologists monitor these side effects very closely and I'm sure your Onc. will take this into consideration and discuss the risks of continuing your treatment. The longer the treatment the less the incidence of heart damage but each case is different. Regards ....
at my max) and with a light build and these seem to be contributing factors (statistically) to Atrial Fibrillation problems which were first diagnosed in my at about age 55. I had quit smoking about 10 years before that. I was treated and able to be in normal sinus rhythm much of the time up to age 67, from that point on I am in permanent AFib.
Did smoking contribute to my heart rhythm problems?
There is not much standardized research done on this due to the illegal nature of marijuana. You can find MANY websites on the effects of cannibis and blood sugar, though and I am surprised you are on this one asking questions. Do you really think someone is gonna get on this site and admit to breaking the law????? Please!
