What can help me stop smoking? -
I-m 21 and i have smoked since i was 14 about 15 - 20 a day. I now want to stop. I know there is patches etc out there that could help but is there anything else as well? I feel i need a lot of help. Is there any really good non boring books out there? What helped you? I work in an office i-m new there and i can-t really be at work in a mood. Anything that might help please, even alternative stuff.I-m gonna put an amethyst crystal on my desk would that help relax me a tiny bit?
And what can i do in an emergency? Like when i-m 100% stressed out and on the brink of lighting up again?
Please please helpMy husband would cut straws to cigarette length and chew on them when he was desperate. Lots of sugar free gum and hard candy, too.
I quit a 2 pack-a-day 27 year long habit cold turkey 5 years ago, and I can tell you the 1st 3 days are bad, but each day after that becomes easier. After 3 to 4 days, the physical addiction is gone, but the mental - emotional ones are still there. Keep your hands busy- take up knitting or get some of those wire puzzles to fiddle with. And when a craving hits, tell yourself just 30 more minutes...then repeat after 30 minutes.
Be strong- if I can do it, anyone can!The electronic cigarette, or e-cig, in most cases looks just like a traditional cigarette and is made of a mouthpiece that holds a nicotine cartridge, a heating element or atomizer, a battery and an LED at the tip of the device. The way e-cigs work is that they contain an airflow meter that is triggered when the user inhales on the device. This activates the circuitry and delivers the nicotine to user by a short burst of vapor that is inhaled. The LED at the tip lights up showing that the battery is working and also making the device appear similar to a lit cigarette. The vapor that is exhaled may look like smoke but it is actually just a water, propylene glycol based vapor that is odorless and harmless. I took this information from http://www.buycheapecigarettesonline.comI started smoking when I was 13 and by 14 was puffing away over a pack a day. I quit when I was 23 and haven-t looked back. How did I do it?
I started working for a cancer hospital -number one in the world- and that was a major wake-up call. I figured I was too young to get cancer from smoking until a 15-year old was getting an CT of his brain. The doctor beside me pointed out all of the tumors in his brain, seven I think. The cancer spread to his brain after it originated in his lungs from smoking. I-m certain he hasn-t made it. The statistics are grim.
One out of every eight people diagnosed with lung cancer didn-t smoke. Think about it every time you light up. You are putting your life in jeopardy each time you smoke.
You probably already know this though right? My cousin used to tell me that if God wanted her to die of cancer from smoking there was no way around it, she would accept His plan. Let me tell you this, when you-re getting chemotherapy treatments that make you throw up every hour, lose all your hair, make you weak; when you get radiation that does the same; or when you get a piece of your lung removed, you aren-t going to be saying that this is God-s Plan. You-re going to be asking yourself why you were so stupid to smoke a cigarette.
Cancer can happen to you. It can kill you. It can affect your friends and family for the rest of their life. If that-s not enough to quit then I don-t know what else will help you.
