15 years of age. Addicted to smoking? -
hey everyone. Im 15 and i started smoking a few weeks ago. Its been on 5 weeks and im addicted to smoking. I have this feeling that i want to smoke really badly. and if i dont. i get this strange feeling.How can i stop smoking?
Its too addictive. and i cant just go in a shop and buy some anti smoking patches...
help?First thing to try is setting a quit date and throwing away all your cigarettes. You-ll have a terrible urge to smoke which hits its peak at 3 to 5 days, when all the nicotine has left your system. Don-t give in, because if you slip up, you-ll lose all the work you-ve put into it. Expect to have cravings, be grouchy, have a hard time focusing, etc.
If that doesn-t work, you-re going to have to get some nicotine replacement products. You can confess to your parents, or if you won-t do that, go to see your doctor -- he can write you a prescription in confidence. Even without a prescription, you can probably get them at a drugstore or supermarket -- strictly speaking, they aren-t supposed to be sold to kids without a prescription, but chances are they won-t know or care, if you ask, just say you-re getting them for your mom. Or you can order them online. You don-t say how much you smoke, but folow the manufacturer-s guidelines. The Commit lozenges are better than the gum is better than the patches, particularly for a teen who doesn-t smoke all day -- you don-t want to make your habit *worse,* which could happen if a patch is feeding nicotine into you at a time when you don-t usually smoke. If the lozenges don-t work, you will need to talk to your doctor about Chantix, which is the most effective med but requires a prescription and medical supervision.talk to somebody about it , i dont think that you are addicted though yet i mean as you say its only been 5 weeks , there should be nhs support groups around where you live locally they are drop in centres that give tou support on how to quit . also you wont get into trouble or they wont judge you on your age .good luck.You-re legally allowed to buy those patches or chewing gum, who cares what the people in the store think of you - better that than lung cancer bro.
If you-re still too embarrassed to do that - cold turkey.No, you don-t really want to stop smoking otherwise you wouldn-t have started or continued, you just know that it is bad to do and you THINK that you should quit, JUST STOP LIGHTING THE DAMN CIGARETTE!
