I been smokin hella weed scince they got taken out 4days ago...seems to help with my sleep and pain. I don't suggest joints tho..u want to try not to cough so much. I favor taking ice bong hits. It feels better than hot smoke in a pipe.

I quit smoking when I started having all my throat issues 6 months ago. I don't even miss is.

Im a 24 year old woman and I do not smoke cigarettes, but I do love my MaryJane 

The first 5-6 days is very rough! Pretty miserable in fact, but IT DOES GET BETTER. I had more medicinal complications with the pain killers, nausea, vomiting and an extreme allergic reaction. The anti-nausea drug Prolochopazine gave me painful and uncontrollable muscle spasms in my face and jaw, with swelling of the cheeks and tongue. Very painful, very scary... I take Benedryl every 4 hours. A good anti-nasuea medication to ask for is the dissolving tablet Zofran.

But I have been smooth sailing since day 7, and managing the pain with merely Tylenol since day 5 actually. The ear pain and complications have been the worst part of this surgery for me personally. I have an extremely high tolerance for pain with my throat and had had worse sore throats from sever cases of strep in the past, which is why I got them out finally. 

Hope this helps answer some questions. XD

WHAT EVER YOU DO, DO NOT CUT THE PATCHES IN HALF! THE NICOTINE WILL LEAK FROM THE PATCH GIVING YOU AN OVER DOSE OF IT.

It is ignorant and simply FALSE to claim that weed is worse for you than cigarettes. Cigarettes kill, weed never will. You lose all credibility by being a puppet. Learn to think for yourself and look into things unbiasedly before blindly believing them.

Please don't smoke cigarettes for as long as you can. I have just had major issues and I'm an ex smoker. My husband smoked fairly soon after and his throat swelled and had massive infection

Hi, I'm 17 and on day 7 of the recovery process, I smoke, not just cigarettes, daily but since the op I haven't touched either tobacco or any herbal smoke ;) I have no pain and my throat is clearing up nicely. This said I did have a bleed on day 2 but since then I have gargled with salt water at least 3 times a day and it has made a HUGE difference and I highly advise it. I made an appointment with my GP(doctor) today and after checking my throat she said I would be okay to go back to smoking in a few days, ALL THANKS TO BOILING SOME WATER LETTING COOL AND ADDING A TEA SPOON OF SALT AND GARGLING.
