Help me please stop smoking? -

Help me please stop smoking? -

I-m 15 an underage smoker and theres absolutely no help when ur underage smoker to help quit. Its illegal to chew the gum and the patches or any of the medical treatment that helps to stop smoking cuz all that has nicotine in it so i cant get a hold of it. Anyways i need a natural way to stop smoking,its taking over my life and im sick of it. And i get drug tests monthly from my probation officer so i just gotta quit smokin for its to late, so someone whos reading this give me the best answer you got for me, and ur prolly wonderin how i get ciggarettes i get them from my friends but there also underaged and have no way of gettin the gum or the patches or any of that. So im desperate and help me.1stly go to your GP- they can help you. there is a nicotine free treatment avaliable. another way is to go cold turkey- hard i know!! replace smoking with something else (please not drugs/eating/booze), like chewing a piece of gum

Nicoblock (bought form drugstores) is nicotine free

as far as i know i dont actually think nicotine replacement products are illegal- talk to your GP- i know that in the US and AUS they are not illegal

The best way is through nicotine replacement treatments- patches and if you need it gums.

you cna buy these from pharamcies etc.
where the patch from the moment you wake up tiul you go tro bed and if you ahve any extra cravings, use a piece of gum or lozenges

if you smoke more than 10 a day go for the strongest patches first. you can quite often get a refund on these from private health insurance companies

if you cant get off the patches its not a huge problem- nicotine only causes cancer/problems in pregnant women and babies...

if you dont know what to do with your hands invest in some play doh etc.- it really works

also talk to your GP if need be
good luckI gave up smoking 5 packs a day after 55+ years

I did it by giving up a few every day over a week at a time

#1 thing a good reason to quit in your head

Dad will kick my butt
Don-t want to pay $40 a cartoon for taxes
Don-t want to live the rest of my life with an oxygen tank on my side.
Want to be able to breath good enough to have a normal sex life
Don-t want to pay the $700 per leg for oxygen on an airlines flight ( in China it $1500)
Don-t want to waste every Fri waiting for Oxygen delivery


Just a few of the PITA things from smoking too muchTry to always chewing gum.stop asking your friends for cigarettes, that-s one way to stop smoking and if you cant stop asking your friends for cigarettes then stop hanging with your friends until you can kick that habit.

then you learn to Say -No- or walk away.

other then that you-re on your own because we cant offer anyone underage any kind of gum or patches.

Not sure if you know that Smoking is Bad For Your Health!

-This is a tough one. . You realize that this is a problem and it seems as though you truly want to quit, so that is the first step. Realizing that you have a problem and admitting that it-s not gonna go away by its self. All the answers look good. Maybe go to a library and check out a book on quitting Or read some things on the Internet about cancer survivors/victims, to scare you into quitting. Well that-s what i did. I was an alcoholic at 18. I dropped out of high school because of it and could not find any help. Pretty soon i had lost all of my friends and was out of money. I didn-t have a job because i was always drunk in the morning or had a hang over. I was watching television and saw a story about a woman who had gotten in a terrible car accident that killed her 3 small children. I broke down and cried. That was 5 years ago and i never drank again. Now i am in college and have a good life.
You situation is not the same, but i hope this helps you, best of luck, and don-t give up!You have no resources.
My best Idea is to stop, but eat a lot of food, so that you will be preocupied with that instead of smoking. If you smoke one more ciggarette, then i will be mad. You can do this man.
Good Job taking the initiative!find a new habbit chew gum instted not nicotine gum..... just gum..... ok or get sour stuff like altoids.... and stuff get addicted to them.... have some energy drinks ........GET NEW FRIENDS, because if your friends pressured you to smoke then i suggest new ones and if you get busted i would not tell on them cause they might jump you ...... also dude try like just like eating healthier play with your dad or mom and go outside and play catch to get your mind of it man.....please stop smoking.... and try your best i really dont want you to get in trouble........... i am praying for you man good luck
