How do i stop smoking? -

How do i stop smoking? -

Im only in year 10 and i have made one of the most stupid decisions of my life so far and That is to SMOKE!!! I am not rough and was bought up knowing what is Right or wrong but my mates at school tempted me and i said i would quit but its not easy, if anything i smoke more.

what should i do i mean i dont want to phone up or like talk to people???I started smoking when I was 12 and am now 18. I smoke a pack and a half a day. I have tried to quit in the past and the longest I made it was until 4:30 the same day. It IS very hard to quit but not impossible. I-m not trying to be a hypocrite (my doctor has advised me NOT to quit smoking due to some mental health issues that would worsen if i quit). The first rule is cold turkey. Throw out any smokes you have. Don-t say you-ll just smoke 4 a day instead of 16 or whatever. You don-t eliminate the craving that way. I also DONT recommend nicorette and the like b/c of the same reason. Next step is to avoid people that smoke and situations where you smoke more (for example I chain smoke when I-m drinking alcohol or driving). Make sure to stay busy. People smoke more when they-re bored or inactive. Try sucking a lollipop when you get a craving b/c it mimics the hand motion of putting a smoke to your mouth. As well, TELL ppl you are quitting smoking so you will have extra support and understanding.

What gums help to stop smoking? -

My auntie smokes and I want her to stop. What chewing gums help?I really don-t think the gums out there helps to stop smoking. Never heard of or know of anyone that had success with the gum.
You can tell your aunt if she really wants to stop smoking to ask her doctor for a prescription for Chantix. I know of people that has smoked 2-3 packs a day for over 30-40 years - these pills worked for them.
I wish your aunt all the best of luck.Good luck to your aunt. Thanks - have a great day.

no gums work.you just have to have a strong desire to want to quit.i did it took me about three weeks to finally not want to smoke anymore.you have to have control over your mind it;s called will power.Try to get more information regarding some ways to stop smoking at my profile.Any of the major brands with nicotene in them or some people find that ordinary gum helps just as much and tastes a lot better. An element of willpower is going to be needed though, she will have to want to give up.try spearmintThe ones with the teeth in,sweetheart. You are indeed a caring young lady,well done.nicorette , u can buy it from chemists :)she has to want to stop,not because you want her too,all these stop smoking aids don-t stop you thinking about fags,it takes a good 3 months to get it out of your system,its not easy its hard determination,iv been stopped over a year,i smoked 20 a day for over 30 years.nicorette gum? i fink u can get it anywhereDetermination.my husband gave up smoking 5 years ago now and all he used was packets of mints called -smint-. they are just normal mints like your average polo!! just a bit stronger

Im going to stop smoking cold turkey today? -

anyone have any advice? how horrible will it be? i-ve smoked 4 years about a pack and a half a day. sometimes 2. thanks eveyoneI-m lucky .. I can have a cigarette and be able to not have another for 12 months....

Ok .. my advice is you ... NOT to beat yourself up if you end up having a smoke .. DON-T use it as an excuse for *failing* and then not trying again... If you have a smoke... keep the butt and stick it in a glass jar with a screw top lid... place a small amount of water in the jar and sit it on a sunny window sill.. each time you have a naughty smoke .. place the butt in the jar..

eventually when the jar is half full of butts .. .the NEXT time you want a smoke .. take the lid of the jar and take a deep sniff... It should be enough to put you off....

also .. when ever you get the urge to have a smoke... have a glass of water instead .. and drink it slowly....considering that it was only 4 years it may not be all that bad but the fact that you smoked nearly two packs a day it may become difficult specially when it comes to times like after lunch and if you see a lot of people smoking around you. I have tried but was not really willing to give up and therefore I am still smoking... I hope you do well! Good luckI was in the same situation. I gave up cold turkey by joining a gym.. after a sweaty workout I felt so clean and fresh and I didn-t even think about having a cigarette.. I knew it-d ruin my happiness so that-s how I quit!gum relly helps - nicotine and ordinary
dont drink till u complety kick the habit.becoz then u tend to forget your resolution and start smoking
