Why cant i stop smoking? -

my mom thinks ive been sober now for about a year,but truth be told,i was only sober for about 4 months.i was smoking cigarettes and weed,i do both regularly now,and i feel horrible lying about it when shed gotten me all this treatment,i was doing other things before to like shrooms and ecstasy
but i havent started doing those,but im frightented i might pick up on that again as well.im only 16.if u have been through this before id love to hear our advice or opinions.Are you still hanging out with the same friends you did four months ago?

Smoking is a social activity. Quit the smoker friends and you won-t be as tempted. Branch out. Surely you have at least one pal who is sober, and doesn-t smoke anything. Call them up, make friends in their circle.

It-s the only thing that worked for me.Because the NICOTINE in the cigarettes ,cigars ETC is very,highly addictive. Girl friend you had better get off of all of that dope you have been using,or you will die a pre mature death. It is called DOPE for a reason. If you die from using it how will your loved ones feel.Tell her you need an in patient program and go from there. Admitting to her you have a problem and want and need help, she will be forgiving of you because then she will truly know you are seriously sorry for lying to her.-cus you-re addicted?She-s addicted to what the pack of smokes didif you want to change your life, you need to stop hanging out with the people that do that including the other drugs...you also have to WANT to stop -- i used to smoke weed ALL the time for 5 years or so and i also smoked cigarettes (3 packs a day -- for 6 years) and i never thought i was gonna stop, its honestly a mental thing -- i stopped smoking both cold turkey - one day i stopped smoking weed and within a month i smoked one last cigarette and i was done...and i havent done either in about a year and a half. yes cigarettes have a physical addiction but that is only for 3 days and once your past that - it is all mental. but if you do need help you could use a patch, the gum, etc.

my fiance also smokes cigarettes and weed and has tried several other drugs...nothing like crack, heroine, or meth though...but he was court ordered when he was younger to go to rehab and it did nothing for him...he said to tell you - you have to change the friends, the scene, and have to want to stop.

you are also a teenager so yes, you will rebel - its natural but if you want to stop you will =] and the sooner you stop the better off you are.

good luck!

I know I have to give it a while and it will take a few months but will the cravings even slightly reduce anytime soon??? Im 19 been smoking for 6 years, 20 a day for last 3 years. also how long will it take me to be completely weaned off cigarettes???You actually, physically are off the nicotine need.
Now you have a whole bunch of other issues, like the hands thing, or the usual signals, like picking up the phone, or taking a break thing, or beginning a task or ending a dinner.
All your previous signals for lighting up.
You can sip water, file your nails, use a strength ball, whatever you need to do with your hands so they aren-t just laying there.
One thing I did that helped a bit with the early cravings was to pucker up and breathe in slowly. This reduces your oxygen a little and its a little like taking a drag.
The other thing I did was remind myself I wasn-t going to be smelling like an ashtray. It helps to sniff an old ashtray and remind yourself that-s what you smell like.
And best of all take that money and buy something sinfully sinful,
Like splurge at Victoria-s Secret, or a god-awfully expensive soap or perfume. Something really fun.I just quit 3 weeks ago so I totally get it. I still have some cravings but they do diminish more and more every week. Are you on the patch, it-s personally the best solution. Also you should think about what your smoking triggers are, for example if you smoke when your board then instead of lighting up call someone.
Most ppl get over the bodily cravings for nicotine before they get over the physical cravings, such as hold a cigarette or blowing smoke.
Trust me it will only get easier. A general craving will pass in two minutes so when it happens do something to take your mind off of it and it will pass. Remember that people sometimes don-t quit on their first shot and that-s ok you can always try again and learn from what made start and avoid it next time.

best of luck!!!
