How can i stop smoking???? -
ok does anyone no how i can stop smoking,with out buying anything for it????~i can-t buy anything for it cause i don-t have no money :( ~so someone please help me!!!!!I smoked from the age of 13 til 26 the whole time thinking I-d be able to stop when I WANTED to. Then that time came and no matter how much I told myself not to smoke I kept going back.
One day at work, my boss asked me if I wanted to quit smoking and my response was -who doesn-t?- That day was to change my life... forever.
I am now nearly 33 and haven-t had a cigarette since 2 weeks after my boss asked me that question. How? I read a book! It was that simple and you can continue to smoke while you-re reading the book... it-s by Allen Carr and if you WANT to quit check out his website below.
Quitting smoking was the easiest (yes easiest) and most empowering thing I-ve ever done. I couldn-t have done it without the book.Tie your hands behind your backjust say no...cold turkeyBut you have money to buy cigarettes? Try making a spread sheet where you calculate how much money you spend on smokes during a year. Multiply that amount by 10% to show how much money you would have if you invested the money instead. Then do the same for another year and compound the interest from the first year and add it to the total for the second year and repeat the process for a 20 year time period. You will be shocked at the amount of money you will have given to the tobacco company. Depending on the cost of a carton of smokes, if you invested your money, you would have close to a million dollars... This doesn-t take into account the annual increase in cigarette prices which would only multiply the end result tremendously. Now ask yourself. Who can make better use of this money, you or the tobacco company? Wouldn-t you rather have a new car, boat, even a house, etc. rather than give the money to the tobacco company? I decided ten years ago, that I could use the money more then paying to be a slave to tobacco.YOU CAN TAKE THAT PACK OF CIG-s AND THROW THEM AWAY. IT-S HARD BUT WELL WORTH IT. MY SWEETY HAD TO QUIT, AND NOT BY CHOICE. HE HAD A HEART ATTACK. SO WHEN HE WAS IN I.C.U. PEOPLE KEPT ASKING ME IF HE SMOKED. I TOLD THEM NOT ANY MORE......THEY WANTED TO KNOW WHEN HE QUIT, I TOLD THEM TODAY.........AND HE HASN-T SMOKED SINCE.IT-S BEEN OVER FOUR MONTHS.if you just like the feeling of something in your mouth. then use a tooth pick put it in your mouth when you feel the need to smoke. I haven-t smoked EVER! but i see some people doing it. they said it helps them quit real fast.wellll its gonna be hard to quit cold turkey youll have a better chance of quitting if you cut back a little at a time...what i did that REALLY helped me is i would -punish- myself to smoke...for example my thing was i had to do 100 situps BEFORE i went to smoke (you have to do it before or else you wont do them) that way even if you do end up smoking, at least your body is benefiting in some way...plus after a few days the thought of doing situps will make you wanna cry and then you cant smoke because you dont wanna to them!! haha just remember that the average craving lasts 3-5 minutes...they will be a hard few minutes, but you can do ANYTHING for 3-5 minutes right?!Good luck with that. If you have insurance try chantix. It-s greatIf you have no money, that should help alot. You won-t be able to buy any. Those things are expensive...
Oh. You mean no money to buy anything to HELP you stop smoking. Okay. That-s different.
Go out into your garden or a non-chemical lawn and pick some Red Clover. Make a tea out of it. Drink as often as you can. It-ll help get rid of the toxins in your system, and fight the cravings by purging your nicotine. If you smoke while you are taking it, it just can-t help you.
Find some fresh corn husks in the garbage. Dry the silk. Roll it up in a paper or burn it as an incense. That should take the edge off of your smoke inhaling needs, while it also heals lung tissue.
Now. Think hard. Do you want to be an addict for the rest of your life? If a meth head still has just one hit of meth every once and while, does that mean they are off it? Or are they still a freakin- addict?
You are an addict. Your addiction of choice is cigarettes, but you are a slave to it, letting it suck your money and your health and killing you in painful, disgusting ways. Would you let someone else torture you to death that way? Or steal your money every day?
With motivation, and some help with the biochemical issues, I am convinced you can easily beat this. I have a friend who smoked since he was 12. At 25, he decided he no longer wanted to be an addict and stopped. Just stopped. After three days, he never had another craving. It-s your body and mind. It-s all up to you.Substitute a new habit.
My dad started eating mini-carrots when he quit smoking. He also joined a group of smokers who were trying to quit as well. For him, this worked.
Best of luck!!self confidence in yourself. you have to tell yourself i wont smoke and rip all of them up.A Yahoo search for -how to quit smoking- will give you a wealth of useful information and advice.well seeing as my dad is dying of cancer in the hospital as we speak from cigs i think i can help...he has realized after 35 years of smoking he has to do something...or it is that he has been in the hospital and cannot smoke either or...every week smoke one less cigarette...eventually your body will be lazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzyyyyy the last week because you don-t have the nicotine in you but you will be jittery (don-t have company over, it-s for the best)....very jittery...if you have to, buy nicotine gum or patches, it-s not as expensive as cigarettes.the next two weeks after (depending on how addicted you are) you will be out of your mind the three weeks after you-ve officially quit...do hobbies such as chewing gum, card games, painting, anything to keep your mind off cigarettes...you might want to plan when to do this because like i said you will be jittery. also if it helps...have family support it will mean ALOT to you when you do think to have just ONE cigarette.make it impossible to get them, im under eighteen and i lost my connection and couldnt get any and i quite real quicckHow can i stop smoking???? -
Whats the fastest way possible to eliminate THC out of my body? -
Whats the fastest way possible to eliminate THC out of my body? -
I-m just wondering because I have an opportunity to get a $9.83/hr job right now and I desperately want it. I haven-t had a job in so long because of the drug testing policy. In a 7 day weekly period, I smoke about 8-10 blunts. It-s too hard to just completely stop smoking weed, I-m sorry. Please help me, any suggestions and tips would be very beneficial for me.If you-re smoking that much, you will never get it out of your system or even hide it. If you want a better job, you have one choice, give it up. That-s the harsh reality of things.Well, cranberry juice helps, lots of fluids. There are also products they sell that flush your bloodstream and clean it out.
My main advice would be to stop smoking marijuana until you get the job.
just do it cold turkey and don-t put yourself around it, or let people know that you have a job interview.
they won-t let you because they know you will get a lot of money and you can buy more weed for and from them.
lol trust me on that one ;)cranberry juice and lots of water ...... and clean pee if you can find it at a head shopWhats the fastest way possible to eliminate THC out of my body? -

nobody can stop this person for this bad vicesI quit smoking by praying about it ~ the gambling I just about lost my butt over~ in fact I lost 2 cars gambling ~i had to make my self stay away from the casino-s ~so now i play slot on line they are free~there is no money exchanged - many days I-d love to get up early - run to the boat for the day but now I have only a monthly income - can-t work the overtime or off days to make the extra to make up my losings~so i guess i-ve realized I came to the point of existing~or gambling for only a short time~maybe more prayer will work ~it certainly helps~good luck to you ?If they want to change, they could check out a Christian 12-step addiction recovery group. Ask a Baptist church where there is a group like this nearby.Bet some really bad dude $40,000 that you can quit smoking. Believe me...you are gonna quit one of those bad habits real quick.What is the best way to stop smoking and gambling ? -

Do you smoke?
Do you feel pressure from your friends - family to stop smoking?
Does it effect your relationship with your family?
Are you the black sheep of the family?
I smoke - get allot of stick from my girlfriend - family to stop.
But im stubborn - if people left my alone maybe i would stop, maybe.
I know about all the implications of smoking - dont smoke around non smokers. I do allot of sports - keep fit, but i know i would be better off not smoking...
But i do like a ciggarette..It is unfair for people to nag about smokers. I understand your families concerns for your health BUT... it is your decision whether you choose to smoke your not, as long as you do so respectfully by going outside - not smoking around others... which you state you do.
Why doesn-t anyone nag drinkers? or fast food eaters? or naggers who are always stressing? People will eat pork and salt til their 300lbs with sky high cholesterol - blood pressure, and die as a result!! These are all very unhealthy habits as well, so no one has any right to gang up on one bad habit!! People die AND kill others from talking on cell phones while driving!! Sure, it doesn-t happen to EVERYONE, but neither does getting cancer from smoking!
So to each his own!! I quit smoking 1 1/2 years ago, but it was MY choice. I would never push it upon anyone else, because it-s just not fair!
Best of Luck to you!I smoke too, but let me say this,sunday I was taken to hospital with chest pains, and found out I had a heart attack. They placed a stent in one of my arteries. I am still in hospital recovering, and haven-t smoked in the last 70 hours .I was stubborn too, but when directly faced with the fact that you may not see your loved ones,wife, son, daughter, and grand kids your eyes are opened.
only 54, not old at allk i dnt smoke but i helped my father stop and he smoked like about 40 a day!!
all u gotta do is:-
smoke half a fag, and wen u want another 1 simply just go back to the fag that u didnt finish, its ok to have a ciggarette but not all the time if u realise that ur not only damaging urself ur also damaging ur family and if u smoke around ur girl friend and ur parents then their at risk of getting lung cancer just as much as u might b at risk. i dnt want to scare u i just want u to know the truth,
its not going to b easy but just tell ur family to support you because u feel as though u cnt do it on ur own..
u cnt stop smoking in one day it goes in stages
u need will power aswell
my father went from smoking 40 a day to smoking 3 a week
with my help
ask your girlfriend to support u aswell
u cant do this alone
u have your family to help u and also u will have to help urself
good luck and i really hope i helped eventhough i-m not gd at explaining things very good
xxxxxxxlook man..I like to smoke and drink my beer too...life is difficult enough to not have a few pleasures...we are going to die...period...i work out all the time and eat healthy...that enough..i dont need someone telling me not to smoke...unless they want me to follow them around and point out every little detail in thier stinking life where I think they are doin wrong...THEN SHUT UP!!!
Live and let die.
And the heck with non smokers....half my buddies dont smoke and I smoke right next to them...if they dont like...get up and move...duh....i quit smoking this year- i smoked for more than half my life. i was a bad kid. anyhow i smoked newports which are very bad for you since they have fiberglass in them. i was coughing up blood and always sick. no more of that for me. i quit in april- so im going on 5 months smoke free. i am suprised i did it cold turkey and havent touched one since. but i feel better and can run better now. it takes time to heal your lungs and i dont want to die of cancer. i want to see my kids grow up and all. plus i was wasting so much money on them. a pack or two a day adds up. i would quit if i were you.... its hard, but pays off in the end
last year
i dated a guy- like for a few days.. just casual and he was like -did you quit smoking yet?- it made me so mad. i was thinking .. who are you? were not together and thats my choice. so i never talked to him again.
this year
i started seeing my current boyfriend and he mentioned that if i wanted to smoke it was ok, my choice. but he wanted me around and the kids needed me. basically that it was bad for me. but that he was there with me either way. so that gave me the drive to quit. and i didnt even tell anyone i was doing it. one dat i was like. i dont need these and never had one ever again.
i hate being told what to do, but being asked with true love and compassion made me want to quit because no one ever cared like that beforeStop smoking now!!!? -
