Re all your stop smoking questions? -

I gave up smoking over five years ago now but it still has not stopped me from getting emphysema i can-t prove it is smoking related but it has taken 5 years to surface,
I also get recuring plurisy which each time seems to get worse infact i have just come out of hospital today after the antibiotics and steriods that my doctor prescribed did not seem to work this time, The hospital has put me on 2 types of stronger antibiotics as well as steroids this time.
I am getting some strange feelings in my body but relize that i must carry on with this course of treatment.

So to your that say you cant stop smoking STOP now before it is to late seek help if you have to it is avalibale to you all.
This disability will affect me for the rest of my life,
and it aint fun i can assure you.You know,I don-t understand all the negativity of the answers to this question.This person is trying to help people understand some of the terrible effects of smoking.Yes,there are people who get cancer and other illnesses that don-t smoke (and that is tragic),but there are a great many people who get illnesses from smoking.This advice may or may not help you quit,but I believe that if this helps even one person decide to quit,it is well worth it.Thanks for sharing your experience,and good luck!I only smoke pot..Alot of people who don-t smoke and the people who quite smoking .needs to stop telling those who smoke to quite. the more people who tell me to. the more i smoke. its up the the person themselves if they want to quit. we all now the risk of smoking. but my way of thinking is you only live once so you might as well enjoy it. my dad died of cancer and didn-t smoke a day in his life. so i feel you can get cancer from anything.Whats the question?Let-s all blame smoking for everything forever and ever a-men. In the USA we have 300,000, 000 people and 300,000 die from every classification of heart disease and cancer in a year. Most of these are OLD. It is such a small figure comparatively, that all this hype on smoking is just that HYPE. Let-s pick something or someone to blame for everything we as individuals do not want blamed on us. Well Whoop Dee Do. Blaming smoking does not cut it if you think for just one minute. That is not to say that it did not have some effect on your problem as one causitive, but one of many, One factory in your town puts more smoke in you than every smoker in the US as they are spread farther and combined may just make the equivilent of one factories- smoke. I am really sorry for your problems and would help you if I could as no one should suffer what you go through. But I can-t accept that smoking is the cause; when common sense says - no it isn-t. It is a very very very small part as one of multiple causes. Busses anyone. Private jets anyone. Limo-s anyone. And the new figures show libs will give nothing to help you - Nothing.

Is it ok to stop smoking instantly? -

hi just wondering if its ok to stop smoking instantly without doing any damage ect.. i used to smoke 20+ cigs a day and i havnt had a single one today as im planning to stop totally!!
as a substitute i got a niccorette inhalator so will this be ok? i havnt seen my doctor to ask him or anything lolIt should be... smoking hurts you, and if you stop smoking suddenly, then I would think that it would help you!!! lolfor some people it works. It worked for my dad. Some people are just breaking down through it, and start smoking again. It-s only you who know what-s the best way for you :)Yes it is try gum or pads my dad use to smoke but now hes dead it will reduce your chances of having lung cancerI disagree. Cold turkey as a method will make you miserable and you will always have a craving. Nicotine replacement is similarly bad as you are merely changing the form of the drug you are trying to get out of the habit of.

I tried pills, hypnosis, patches, inhaltors, gum, cold turkey - you name it. I managed between days and months but always failed. Then I read the book -The Easyway to stop Smoking-. That was seven years ago (eight this coming May) and it was the best thing I ever did. Check out the reviews on Amazon. You can smoke whilst you read it and it has no scare stories or shock tactics. But I swear you will give up effortlessly. What have you got to lose?cold turkey is the best wayall you need is will power nun of this patch cr@p*No inhaler imo...I would just do it like the first guy said -cold turkey-There is nothing wrong with stopping instantly, it just rarely happens that way! Some people find the -cutting down- method the best way. Say for example you smoke 20 cigs a day. A few days later you drop to 19, a few more days later 18, etc. until you-re down to nothing. But if you feel happier doing it the way you-re doing it, then why not!Mind has lots of power. Sit at a lonely place and go on telling that you hate cigarettes and want to stop smoking and then within a short time you could stop the habit if you really try.Yeah it is the best way to stop instantly. Unlike food you can quit smoking, you can-t quit eating so smoking should be an easier bad habit to quit!
Also increase your Vitamin C intake as this helps with detox from the nicotine.
Go for it and keep us all posted.
Another tip, keep writing down I have healthy lungs I love fresh air as this can help your mind to believe you don-t smoke!you had me saying -cold turkey- until the inhalator.
if your gonna stop, stop. dont drag it out with the inahaltor.
