Russel Svec of Garner needed a Hip Replacement

I needed a hip replacement. I felt caught between a rock and a hard place. Nicotine was my comfort and joy for 49 years. Now, it was helping mask the excruciating pain in my hip. My MD said he would not operate and replace my hip until I was nicotine free for 6 weeks! Surgeries on people who smoke take longer to heal and do not heal as well.

My neighbor, Kelly, had just completed The STOP Clinic program to stop smoking. She told me the program made it easy to stop and she was smoke-free after the first treatment! I had to try it!

I can’t believe how easy it was for me to quit after smoking for 49 years! Not only did the treatment help me stop smoking, it also helped reduce my pain level, temporarily. In 30 days, I have already saved $620. I never in all these years thought that I would ever stop smoking!
