Beli everyone, I have been quiet. Back February 14 th I ended up in the hospital. Respiratory distress. I haven't smoked since then but have been using nicorette lozenges. I want to come off of those to but need something to help me. Hard candy is not working. Would appreciate any suggestions. Am facing a total shoulder replacement July 23rd. I'm scared as i never have had major surgery n the pain I'm in is awful. It's been hard not smoking but I know I need to keep up the good work to Live. Anyway ty all in advance, Dot
