I need to stop smoking....help? -

I need to stop smoking....help? -

ok i am 14 and a freshman.......i-ve been smoking since i was 7yrs old .......no joke......i need to stop smoking.........please give me some ideas........this is not a lie or anything.....i-ve tried to quite but i haven-t had any luck........please give me some ideasYou have to WANT to stop. Get little lollipops, so that your mouth and hands are busy. It will most likely take some time if you-ve been smoking for 7 years. The most important thing to do while quitting is to keep your hands busy.....try some cross stitching or those little sewing kits. A lot of people tend to gain weight too, so make sure you eat baby carrots or celery sticks so that you don-t have the weight gain. Good luck to you.You are addicted to the nicotine in cigarettes. I was too and had been smoking for many years. I couldn-t understand why I couldn-t just stop until I understood that I was an addict. What I did was cut my day down into one hour at a time. I would tell myself that I was not going to smoke a cigarette for one hour. When the hour was up, I would tell myself that since I had gone for one hour without a smoke, surely I could go for two hours without one. And on it went until I finally was able to get over the addiction. It wasn-t easy and didn-t work the first several times I tried it but I kept on trying. When I quit there was not as much information and support for people as there is now. You can do it. Go to WebMD. They have a -smoking cessation- section that might be helpful. Good luck and don-t give up. You can do it.you need help , and i hope that all the suggestions given will benifit you , i smoked for over forty years and i have just found the thing that has stopped me in my traps , now i don;t know if you can get these or not but give it a try , .... go to your dr and ask for the tablets called CHAMPIX . they helped me to stop , they are cheaper than two packets of cigs and they are just one of many things that may be able to help you , i do wish you the very best of luck .Try to get more information regarding some ways to stop smoking at my profile.If your parents doesn-t know about this situation you should tell them because my grandfather died from lung cancer and he was smoking a lot when he was younger and he stopped completely as he got older and when he was up in age he found out he had cancer and died a couple of months later. So right now you don-t know what kind of damage you have already done to yourself.try a gum or patch. after 3 weeks of not having them, you should be cure, but it is an addiction. there are websites that will help and give ideas-search for them on google or something. also whenever you feel the urge to smoke, chew on something-gum,toothpick, etc. at 1st though i-d just try to lower the amount you smoke little by little. if none of this works ask an adult you trust because it will affect your health. good luckNo one can help you, but only you can help yourself. Make ur mind strong. Drink a glass full of water when you feel the urge for smoking.
