About a year later, I was planning on having Lasik eye surgery. They recommended no nicotine/caffeine for 24 hours prior and 7 days after. I gave caffeine up for the next year, and never picked up nicotine again.
There is probably a few reasons why you smoke. Just remember, you probably like all of them. Start to figure out how to remove and replace them. And keep trying to quit. At some point it will work.
I probably tried to quit 200 times cold turkey, 2 or 3 times with medication, and maybe a dozen times with patches.
You can probably justify first class tickets to and from Singapore with the money you'll save to ensure you won't have access.
I took it for a year or so (though not for smoking cessation), if you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them! Email in profile.
It must have been one, or a combination of the many drugs against nausea, vertigo etc. I strongly suspect that the mild euphoria caused by the Corticosteroids played an important role.
