I guess I've had vaper's tongue for several weeks now. Started vaping 4 months ago but haven't been able to give up the analogs entirely. Went from 3 packs a day to 10 cigs in the first 24 hours. Then got down to 5-7 cigs a day. Stayed at that level for a couple of months or so. Lately, I've been craving the nicotine and smoking 10-15 cigs a day in addition to vaping. I'm not beating myself up as I have many juices to choose from and I keep rotating 2 or 3 per day. I don't seem to find the ones that gave me satisfaction in the beginning to be satisfying now. I vape 24mg.
The problem is that I'm having an anterior cervical disectomy and fusion a week from today. Neck surgery, and will be going through the front of my neck and moving my larynx which will affect swallowing and speaking for awhile. The surgeon has warned me about smoking, as that can affect my healing. I'll be off work 6 weeks minimum. I've been told that some surgeons won't operate on smokers because of the healing and fusing problems.
Quite frankly, I think stress has been a major part of the problem with the analogs. I've known for a month about the pending surgery date, I've been stressed at work trying to train the person covering for me, making sure I get as much done in advance as possible. Stress is my major trigger point and I know it. The stress is compounding because I know the clock is ticking down to next Monday.
Has anyone had a similar problem with the smokes? What worked for you? Thanks for reading
