Any Diabetics [w/or Without High Bp] Taking Smoking Patch Or Other Remedies?
I desperately need immediate help. I'm Diabetic with high blood pressure for at LEAST 5 years [but I know much longer undiagnosed, and have been on ONLY diet to get it down, no meds yet] and went down to only 1 or 1 & 1/2 packs a day [on my BEST days, when NOT getting upset or having a crisis]......
I'm in between doctors and can't get to my new one yet, but MUST stop smoking or will lose my 55 year old family co-op [already given a date to vacate.... if you've seen my other post] , and I'm too sick and exhausted to move AND with no place else to go and only saying I've STOPPED smoking will give me at least a CHANCE of reconsideration and even THAT is only a ''maybe'' I cannot LIE to them.....
I've cut down to half and that didn't help. Neighbors are still complaining although none of them who are directly 'around' my apartment, others are although this IS NOT a smoke-free building.....
The building's lawyers who sent me this notice a 2nd and FINAL time nevertheless seem confident because it is classified as objectionable ""ODORS"".... I've TRIED to stop and CAN'T, not even after having read Allen Carr's book, and scared to death of taking patch, or any other smoking remedies because of my Diabetes and Hypertension.....
[If anyone is also familar with our RIGHTS in NON smoke-free buildings, co-ops etc., that would help as well, my family HAS smoked here for 55 YEARS and not a single word was said till only a YEAR ago, and with NOBODY ever saying they smelled smoke even up to a YEAR ago!! long story]......
I need to hear if Diabetics and/or those with also Hypertension [I have BOTH] are taking any of those remedies and if it's SAFE. Please HELP, I must do something IMMEDIATELY to change this situation or I'll be in the street .....or worse. Thanks so much.
