Do yourself a favour and buy -The EasyWay- by Allen Carr! Switched me off like a light bulb!I GAVE UP 15 MON TS AGO , I USED ZYBAN ; ASK YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT THEM . LET ME KNOW IF THAY WORK FOR YOUthere is an herb called lobelia which is sold in many herb shops with a combination of other herbs which helps...you will also want to do a detox as the body starts to detox it sends a single to the brain that it wants more...so detoxing is a great start...herb shops also sell great herbs and vitamins that support the body in that way as well.Several people i know who stopped had tried all sorts of things, but at the end of the day, the only thing that made them stop is: they woke up one day and decided that-s it. That was the only permanent solution.
The other thing is, it could be that if you are asking, then inside you don-t really want to. People, in general, are good at pretending they are helpless when in fact, they can do everything they want.I have tried many.... patches, gum, inhaler, therepy, then I found something that changed my life hypnosis.Most Hospitals have a Chemical Dependency center that has Smoking Cessation classes. It worked very well for me, - the price was reasonable!you can try the patch, the gum, hyptnotizing... or even go to counsellingask ur doctor to put u on to smoking sensations they give good help.and free patches if ur unemployed.There are various products -- Nicorette for example -- that you can get from the drug store that will help you quit, but there isn-t any magic pill. If you want to quit, YOU are the one who is going to do it.
There are several popular techniques. One suggests cutting back gradually. I tried that, and it didn-t work. Limiting the number of cigarettes per day just seemed to increase cravings. So then I tried cold turkey. It wasn-t easy, but it worked. I took up knitting and crochet, just to keep my hands busy (that-s a big part of the problem. Your hands are used to holding on to that little cylindar) and know some guys who carry a pencil with them, just to hold in their hand and twiddle between their fingers. Sounds silly, but it really helps. I also rewarded myself with jelly beans. Instead of a cigarette, I had a jelly bean. And to work off the jelly beans, I made sure to go for a serious walk every day. That was a good move, because I never smoked when I was walking or hiking, so there was no association between cigarettes and that particular activity. I also took up swimming, for the same reason. And these two activities also helped prevent me from getting a jelly-bean buildup!
If you fall off and have a cigarette, don-t give up and think you can-t do it. You can. Just start your program all over again,and try to build in as many supports as you can and diminish temptations.
Good luck to you!

Since being with my boyfriend i have started smoking cannabis because he does, it started off being a casual thing and didnt realy bother me was just a bit off fun, but now even when im not with him i have to have one before i go to sleep and find it realy hard to sleep if i dont. My family know he smokes it but not me and i dont realy want to tell anyone, but i desperatly need to stop smoking before i get more addicted. But i dont want to leave my boyfriend! How can i go about it, it seems i have no self control when it comes to this!?If you dont get some will power you-ll never quit successfullyAbout 15% of the population finds pot addictive, and you-re apparently one of them. I would seriously seek help if you can-t stop on your own, before, as you say, the problem gets worse. You-re going to have to live with the withdrawal symptoms, as you would if you stopped smoking. It-s tough, I know because addicted friends have done it, but it-s doable. You may have to stay away from pot smokers, though, like your boyfriend. I have a friend who stops periodically with great struggle and fanfare and then goes back to it because her husband does.any smoking is very addictive, I have smoked for over forty years but had to stop for my health which will never get better now that it went bad. It can only be done by will power, which will only get stronger if you use it. Cut down first and cut out the favourite one first, if you cannot stop then do something like this to make your will power stronger. get SUPPORT from a friend if you don-t get it from family. Good luck, don-t quit trying to stop.Your brain and body have become chemically imbalanced. You will have to break your addiction and allow your body to fix it-s self. Start by not buying or having it around so you can-t light up when you want. Then move on to going without for an extra hour.You must first think of what is best for you and admit that you have a serious problem and that you-re in need of professional help immediaitely
while you still can. My prayers are with you.pure will power unless you are to addicted you need medical help be stronghi there! just to let you know i am in the same positin we can talk privatly if you want as i really dont want everyone knowing my personal lifeGET RID OF YOUR BOYFRIEND!!
OR THE WEED ALL TOGETHER!CUT DOWN OR MAYBE JUST GO TO OUR GP AND ASK FOR HELP!!

-cause my mom smokes and i want to know how much time she has left.
She smokes about 3, 4 a day, maybe more. She also coughs heavily everyone in a while.
Also, how do you think i can get her to stop smoking?My grandparents are 87 and 83, and have been smoking for over 60 years, and showing no signs of quitting. If it-s only 3-4 a day, she-s doing ok. You have nothing to worry about. You have more to worry about from stressing over it, than her smoking 3-4 a day.Some people are more genetically predisposed than others to suffer from different diseases, so that really depends on your mother-s genetics. There are people who smoke all their lives and never get lung cancer, but that-s not a reason to smoke!
Also, the different illnesses associtated with smoking vary in how long they take to run their course. You will die from pancreatic cancer much quicker than you would from emphysema, for example.
Smoking is a very hard habit to break. Your mom needs to see how it-s affecting you - especially your health. I would also remind her that you don-t want to lose your mother sooner than you have to.
You don-t die from cigarettes. You die from diseases that are caused by smoking, such as heart disease, emphysema, and various cancers.
Does your mother smoke 3 or 4 cigarettes or 3 or 4 packs? If it-s just 3 or 4 cigarettes, don-t worry.
I-ve never smoked, and I don-t think cigarettes should be legal because there is no doubt they cause disease. But not everyone who smokes dies from it. Your mother knows it-s not healthy; don-t bug her. And don-t worry. She-s fine.sounds like she has emphizema (sp). her doctor will have to tell her to stop. Or just approach her.
Mom, I love you, and I want you to be around for a long time. But your cough is not healty, and i believe it is caused by the cigarettes. Please mom, for me, and for the rest of the family. Please try to stop smoking. I will help you get through it. But I want you here for a long time.They say if you continue to smoke as tyou are yet young.. continue to smoke wont kill you just like that but make u ill at tiems and sickness... so for example... if you smoke from when u where 18yo and continue to smoke all th way till your 25yo your survive to live will be much shorter...
for example if you never smoke you will survive till your 80 or longer.
If you smoke regular and too much daily or a couble a week you will only survive till about less then 60ish yo.
So if you want to see life more longer then just 60ish yo stop smoking because each day smokeing takes a point off your life to tell u a day when u will not last long.
Please dont smoke its no fun its stupid smells bad and it cuts your life down pretty fast.
FACT too is that smokeing can make your face and body look much much older in time.
FACT smokeing can make you very ill over time
FACT smokeing can lead you to black blood and die sooner.
FACT smokeing can lead you to ashma for the rest of your life.
FACT smokeing can lead you to heart chest pains at times.
All that may get into you all or some or one of them and each one is not a nice thing.
Please dont smoke...
Just try herbal smokes.. herbal smokes are fun.... its not real nicotine and you survive more and healthy too smoke herbals but without the nicotine and such.This is hard.My doctor told me when i wanted to quit it was harder than giving up drugs or alcohol.You should sit her down and let her know the 2nd hand smoke is killing you and you would like her to see you walk down the aisle.Also print off some really scary pamplets from the web about disease and lung cancer from smoking and leave them a day or so apart in different rooms.hi darling

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg176/hemalatha123/smoking.jpgIf she smokes 3 or 4 cigarettes a day, then she probably only has about 60-65 years left. She can count on it killing her when she is about 105 years old.
Three or four cigarettes a day is not really smoking. Don-t worry about her.My grandmother was around 94 when she passed and she was a heavy smoker, so I have no idea.How long does it take to die from cigarettes? -
Do people really stop smoking after college? ? -
Do people really stop smoking after college? ? -
Is smoking a college thing. cigs and everyhitng else? Do people really stick to the saying -Il stop after college-. What u think?That-s a really closed-minded way of looking at it. There-s no way to make a blanket statement about the outcomes of people who intend to quit after college.
The simple and truthful answer is: it depends on the person.Well I-ve been to college, made friends who smoke, who still smoke nearly 3yrs on, so I suppose some do and most don-t.
Nicotine is the most addictive drug and when people still consider themselves young (below 30) they can have an attitude where they believe they will just quit when the cigarettes start affecting their health.
Which was actually affecting their health when they started smoking.I did. i graduated in june and quick in october. took me a bit to get everything in order. my sister did the same thing. apart from that, i know people who are 93 who still smoke as well as people who are 15 and smoke and all ages in between. so, no, not a college thing.Yes I have seen some doing like this..... They will be a drunked living in Hostel.... But aftr completing the course they wil live a normal Life without ne bad habits... Pretending they r very good :P
But Y do U take it now ???
Juz keep away from it....
I neither smoke nor drink.....Some do, but most don-t. I-m unfortunately part of the majority in this case. About 1 out of 10 will do as they said and quit.psh. hell no.
if you have the mind-set of -oh, i-ll quit after college- then you never will. you need the will power to quit NOW.smoking is highly addictive, so it depends on the person themselves whether they stop.No. Cigarettes are more addictive than herion.No. It-s addictive. They may think they-re going to, but they won-t be able to.Why even start :L
nahh i doubt they stop.some people do some dont stoponly the smart ones,lol!!!stop now, why keep harming your lungs?Do people really stop smoking after college? ? -
