I smoke. I wish I didn't.  It's never OK to smoke but...even though we know better. Certainly it can't be good for you in any way.

Sorry I don't know the answer to your question but just wanted to wish you luck.  The patch works pretty great and I would have thought in the hospital they would have put it on while he was there.  NO luck?  It's so hard. It's so very very hard.

I wish you the best luck with him quitting.....and me too and everybody else addicted to those rotten things!

There is a mold found on tobacco and pot plants called aspergillosis that causes a frequently fatal infection. All smoking is out of the question to post transplant patients.
