Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a 3 year old daughter. I am incredibly embarrassed that I started smoking cigarettes after she stopped nursing almost a year ago. I am getting my health back in order now and I have a plan in action to quit smoking. I'm going to see a primary doctor tomorrow for the first time in over ten years. I don't want to admit that I still smoke but I know it's important to be honest about my health. I also don't want to be judged, nor feel as if he's condescending, when I tell him "I am in the process of quitting.". I think I want to base it on the level of comfort he provides when I meet him. What are your professional views on this? Thank you, in advance.
