What is the best way to stop smoking cigarettes? (ex-smokers only, please)? -

start by telling your immediate family you want to quit smoking so they are aware of your withdrawal from the nicotine.
start by going to the doctor, get patches , nicabate or something similar..sit down and start a diary, write down everything that is in your head.. when and if you feel like a cigarette, walk outside pull weeds out of the garden for 15 minutes or go have a shower or go for a drive, clean the car..anything to keep busy. the first 3 weeks is the toughest in that you have to break old routines.. lighting a -fag- before you get the evening dinner ready,,etc etc.
throw the left over cigarettes in the bin. This is a true committment..be prepared to feel sick like flue symptoms and expect to feel head achey, tired etc..dont give in every 15 minutes you will crave but dont give in ..chew chewys..etc..make a call to the quit line as well they are good for support. good luck..i was a chain smoker but when i decided to stop, t stop on december 1998 and up to now i had not been a rescidivist. just plain determination knowing that my body is the temple of God-s spirit and i don-t want to put unclean things in this bodywell let me tell you something my mom was a smoker and she quite for 2 or more years but,she did it.

What would taking Yaz birth control and smoking combined do to me? -

What would taking Yaz birth control and smoking combined do to me? -

When I started taking birth control a few years ago I had stopped smoking. However, recently I started smoking again. Only a couple of cigarettes a day/ every other day. Well, I know the effects of smoking, but it just popped into my brain that Im on birth control now?! Also, Im a very healthy young person if that counts.My friends couzin died from using the Yaz birth control. She got a blood clot in the brain she was only 17 years old :(
Dont mean to scare you;;You-re not entirely healthy if you-ve started smoking again, sorry to break it to you. Anyway, you can get blood clots that can travel up to your heart and/or lungs. This can cause a heart attack! It-s nothing to take casually...you really should quit.Smoking on birth control increases your risk of blood clots and stroke.

Stop buying cigarettes in pack. Never keep any stock
When have an urge buy only one cut it into 2 . Throw one out and smoke the rest.
Increase the gap between smokes. Suppose you were smoking 1 an hour, make it to 1 in every approx every 3 Hrs.
Avoid the company of smokers. Be moving around non-smokers and respect their views on smoking.
Take plenty of water whenever you have an urge to smoke.
After a couple of days stop buying/smoking.
Next 3 days will be very difficult due to withdrawal syndrome.
Whenever have an urge again dring plenty of water.
Be determined. Keep a bold display: NO SMOKING
Stop giving up to temptation.
If possible avoid carrying plenty of cash. Just enough to meet your commuting needs. Carry lunch and eat it in the work place only where smoking is not allowed.You can try this product :

good luck!yup, that
stop smoking.
but i think your answer is where to start right ?
look, brain controls body no body to the brain so that said
if you put in your brain/mind not to smoke you-ll do it, do not promess it to any body do it to yourself because at the end you-ll be the one paying the consecuences wheter you do it or not.
dont let things control you, YOU control them.
good luckU need a lot of determination.. but half ur work is done the time u took the decision.. Involve urself in some new hobby, anything, may be reading, or puzzles, or listening to music, or just answering others questions or talking to ur friends on phone.. i know it wont be possible in one stoke.. reduce it intitally and then slowly stop it.. it will work.....In Indonesia, my country, we have a website that helps smoker to stay away and avoid smoker. If u want, here-s the site:

But it-s in Indonesia. LOL.determination. Just don-t smokeChantix -it-s great.stop

Why does my foot hurt when I smoke? -

Why does my foot hurt when I smoke? -

Okay, first of all I know that it is essential that I stop smoking, I know it is a horrible, obnoxious habit and will kill me. I have been making every effort to stop, but every two or three months (getting less! Getting less!) if I am really stressed out I will smoke a pack and regret it deeply. But I what I want to know is, why does is make my foot swell and hurt? I have fibromyalgia and recently developed diabetes. I excercise regularly and take wonderful care of myself except when doing this one distructive thing.Hello =)

Well...

Nicotine is the most effective vasoconstrictor known to man. That is the reason it causes heart disease (constricts blood vessels supplying blood to the heart)....

SInce you do have diabetes now, I would think that the blood flow to your foot is already compromised to some degree. Smoking just makes it worse.

It also causes a number of other problems due to its consriction of blood vessels.

My suggestion is, to soak foot in warm bath (warm, not hot) for half an hour or so, to increase circulation. That should nullify the effects of the nicotine. Repeat as often as necessary.

I know from whence you come. I-m a severe diabetic for 10 years, and still smoke......

BTW smoking does not cause low blood O2
Saturation....smokers almost always have higher O2 sat levels than non-smokers, due to the lungs- overcompensating. (Unless they have emphysema) The problem is, is that the blood cannot get to the tissues, due to reduced circulation.

Namaste, and Happy New Year,

--TomYour foot is hurting because the smoking is decreasing the amount of oxygen being carried in your blood. This decrease in O2 levels is causing your extremities to go into -survival mode,- i.e. they are hurting to let you know something is wrong and immediate action is needed.

Also, diabetes causes a decrease in blood circulation. With the combination of smoking and diabetes, plan on having your leg amputated sooner than later.it could be poor blood circulation and when you smoke you heart actually pumps faster and with the poor circulation that can cause it to swell and hurt you may want to ask a doctor about checking you circulation and also check for clotsare you smoking your toe accidently

I don-t mean to scare you, but read that. I use to smoke myself for about 6 years and developed high blood pressure. My blood flow is messed up from smoking.

hey there, i just wanna share something about your problem, so yo want to quit smoking right? i think you better start focusing more on other activities to divert your attention from the urge to smoke a cigar, you might want to try other sports and that way, you-re not just saving yourself from the disease you can get in smoking but you can make your body mor fit and healthy by starting to improve your health instead of ruining it, after all our body is a holy place for Jesus lives within us right?=) Sorry if im not that good in explaining my point im just new in here and i just thought i could try to help you with your case, that-s all and i just hope i had answer your question. =) have a nice day!Get a little will power.
You could it if you really wanted to.I was a smoker for 10 years and then in 1988, I quit cold turkey. It was hard, but with will power, lifesavers candy and chewing gum, I was able to stop. I think that nowadays, there are many ways to help smokers to stop smoking. There are gums, patches as well as cessation groups to help you kick the habit. You can also visit your doctor for his help. Here are some helpful sites for you. Good luck!

How to stop smoking marijuana? -

I smoke every day and spend like 40 dollars a week . and ive been smoking heavy for like 6 monthsStay away from it and people who do smoke it..
The best chance in quitting is to find a job that drug tests you so your not temped to smoke anymore.Get caught with it on you. Jail cures all drug habits.I just stopped. I-d only smoked heavy for probably 6 months also. But it was ruining my short term memory and just made me anti-social.

Umm, You just have to quit cold turkey. Try and stay away from people who smoke it. Don-t give into buying it


good luck and congrats on wanting to quit

i often find i want to smoke because i-m bored, After I quit, the people I used to hang out still smoked and they got sooo boring to me! Do something fun make your life exciting!!Quit and deal with the withdrawls.If you are only spending $40/week on marijuana you are definitely not a heavy smoker, unless you are only paying for 10% of your weed. Just relax and enjoy the buzz. The amount you are spending is normal for anyone who buys pot. Its not addictive so just stop if you want to.First of all, you have to REALLY want to stop.

*Check out online meetings for marijuana anonymous (like alcoholics anonymous.)

*find a self improvement or addiction recovery group on meetup.com

*enroll in outpatient or inpatient chemical dependency treatment program

*educate yourself about the consequences of marijuana use, and natural approaches to detoxing (exercise, cranberry juice, etc.)

*ask your friends/family members for support, turnover all of your cash to someone who you trust, having them go with you when you need to buy food and other necessities.

*move to an oxford house for structure, support and to live in a marijuana-free environment that includes accountability

*stay away from people, places and things that are connected to your marijuana use - especially people who you smoke with

*Find a certified addictions counselor (CAC)-

*Ask your doctor for help

*Start cutting down, i.e. only smoke between 5pm and 10pm, or only smoke on Fri-Sun, or decrease by 10% each week until you have eliminated use

*DON-T TRY TO DO IT ON YOUR OWN - IT-S A SET-UP FOR FAILURE. GET OUTSIDE HELP, AND DO WHAT YOU ARE TOLD TO DO.

Good Luck!!!ok i know all about this just trust me. you can stop its you telling your self you need it and it really wont cause no withdrwal symptoms and you just have to be dedicated.Its nothing like other drugs you wont draw up in the floor and go crazy over not havin the green but for the other you might just do it.... u might bite your nailsslow down, start only smoking once a day, and then cut down to every other day...and so on, eventually you will just stop smoking it...also keep active as much as possibleYou CAN quit smoking!

Marijuana (grass, pot, weed) is the common name for a crude drug made from the plant Cannabis sativa. The main mind-altering (psychoactive) ingredient in marijuana is THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol), but more than 400 other chemicals also are in the plant. A marijuana -joint- (cigarette) is made from the dried particles of the plant. The amount of THC in the marijuana determines how strong its effects will be. The type of plant, the weather, the soil, the time of harvest, and other factors determine the strength of marijuana. The strength of today-s marijuana is as much as ten times greater than the marijuana used in the early 1970s. This more potent marijuana increases physical and mental effects and the possibility of health problems for the user. Hashish, or hash, is made by taking the resin from the leaves and flowers of the marijuana plant and pressing it into cakes or slabs. Hash is usually stronger than crude marijuana and may contain five to ten times as much THC. Pure THC is almost never available, except for research. Substances sold as THC on the street often turn out to be something else, such as PCP.Quit smoking it and don-t buy more. It-s not like your on heroin. Just stop and do something else to kill time.and they say it-s not addictive....just stop buying the crap! take that $40 and put it in the bank!STOP BEING ROUND PEOPLE WHO SMOKE 2. DON-T BUY IT AND 3. HA HA GET CAUGHTAND iTS DONE!uhm quitwell dude considering ur condition u need to go to rehab fastStop hanging with the people you smoke with.

Find something else to do with that time you normally spend high

It-s a mental addiction, not physical. NO withdraw symptoms other than not knowing what to do when you-re not high.

GOOD LUCK - A GOOD CHOICE
