Stop smoking advice? -

OK, so my wallet and my health aren-t exactly up to par with my 15 cig-a-day habit at the moment. I-ve tried the patch, gum, inhaler, Zyban and nothing has helped so far. (And I-ve tried quitting at least 10 times, by the way.) It-s become a ritual of sorts as to where I don-t even bother thinking about when I go for another-I just do. I barely get a buzz from them at this point, and all they-re doing is wasting my $$. ANY advice appreciated!!I, like you, found it MOST difficult to quit smoking after 35 years and a pack a day habit..... well, I-m 56 and 6 months ago, I was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure and the biggie---Pulmonary Hypertension (the killer).... Ok so now I have less then 5 years to live....... At first, the doctor told me as little as 2 MONTHS.... when I made it out of the hospital after a week, you bet your LIFE I quit smoking.... COLD TURKEY... found out the key to quitting is having something to do with your hands.... it-s the HANDS that make you go crazy when they don-t have a cigarette to hold. So, rather then make sandwiches or eating candy with my hands, I took to eating ORANGE SLICES.... peeled the oranges, pulled them apart and ate the pieces.... whenever I wanted a cigarette I ate an orange..... no weight gain , very few calories in oranges and within 5 days, the cravings for cigarettes Totally stopped. I wish I had done this 30 years ago... maybe I could live past 60 if I had.Well, I-ll tell you how I did it. I told my husband that I really wanted to stop smoking. So we made a deal, every time that I wanted a cigarette I would give him a BJ instead, after two weeks he asked me to take smoking back up. Bless his heart, he tried:-) I wouldn-t recommend it for you though, it-s a little rough on the throat:)i quit smoking about 6 months ago and im very happy i did, i can tell you right now man its just not going to be easy no matter how you go about it. i quit by just quitting flat out, it was horrable miserable hellish ect.... there is nothing good about the process of kickin the smoking habit, even for a few months after i would be hit by intence cravings that i had to distract myself from. you just have to be strong and go through it, if you are able to quit you can always have pride in the fact that you went through such a battle and overcame it. im sorry i have no magic advise. tough it out brother.Go to your doctor and get a prescription for Wellbutrin. You won-t feel any different, but it will curb the desire. I have been off of the cigs since September of 2005 by doing this after 25+ years of smoking. Wellbutrin is the same as Zyban.when i was a student i dissected a chest of one dead body and found black material inside the lungs ! On my asking i was told that it is all carbon particles accumulated while smoking a cigarette !That person died because of emphysema and axphysia asthma ! See this smoking gives a deposition of carbon particles inside the lungs and damages beautiful working there!you know how much your kidney works ?/It circulates 1700 liter of blood daily and your heart circulates 5 liter of blood within a minute ! This smoking is considered as a risk factor for heart attack and stroke ! It hardens the blood vessel and give promote atherosclerosis !There is no doubt that it also gives rise to cancer !I as a physician have noticed that no one is feared for death !But when it comes to suffering than it is a miserable condition ! If you want to die happily in terminal stage of life than please give up this very injurious habit ! Your parent specifically mother will be so happy knowing this that you have given up this smoking !There is 100% loss of every thing !Economic ,social , mental and physical as you will be slave of this habit !if satisfied give best answer mark !!Always YouRsmE
