hey there:

Congratulations on trying to quit smoking. It-s hard but so worth it in the end.

I-ve been smoking for 6 or 7 years and I just decided to quit. At first I tried to go cold turkey, but my withdrawal symptoms were really bad. Then I tried just taking pain killers to relieve my headaches. That just made me woozy all day. Finally, I bought some nicotine patches. Those worked great.

The patches can be a little pricey, but if you go to Target, they are about half the price and just as worth it. There are three stages. The first stage is for if you are a pack a day smoker. The second stage is less than 10 cigarettes a day. And so on. I put one on right when I wake up and it keeps my cravings down to a minimum.

Also, having someone to really support you quiting helps too. My friends and family were all there for me when I was having cravings or just wanting to talk about it. Trust me, quitting alone is alot harder than quitting when you have a support group.

There are alot of great support groups online if you are looking to get more advice or help with quitting. The one I use most frequently is:

At this site, you can talk to people who are quitting, thinking about quitting, or have successfully stopped smoking. Everyone is really compassionate and can identify with your same issues.

Good luck! I know you can do it!

Warmest Regards-
ChantyNicotine patches work but only if you are commited to stop smoking. Chantix from the doc is the best thing that works though.try Chantix , i smoked heavily for over 20 yrs and doctor prescribed this , after 1 month it really wotked and i stopped and its been 4 months and good thing about this is I have no craving to smokeNo. None. If you want to stop you are going to have to do it yourself.How well the patches and gum works depends on how committed you are to actually quitting.

i care about my dad so much. i love him. he smokes like 5 cigarettes a day(or more). he can-t stop! me, my mom, and my sister don-t want anything bad to happen to him, but whenever we tell him to stop, he just says -I can-t!-. is there any special medicine we can get for him that help him stop? what good brands are there? i learned in D.A.R.E. class that smoking is addictive and it-s hard to stop. our whole basement smells like smoke! i can-t breathe under there! HE HAS TO STOP! how can daddy stop smoking?! i need help-fast!!!!!!I-d suggest reading that to him (out loud may be best).

Unless your dad has a will of iron, he won-t be able to help but get choked up. People who smoke or are addicted to anything typically need a pretty big kick in the pants to realize how badly they need to stop their habit.

If it helps, print this out for him:
The best ways to get off of any drug (and yes, Nicotine is a drug) are slowly lowering your dose (takes a long time sometimes), or going cold turkey (which is faster, but harder). Either way, the last thing is making the decision to quit, so you-ll eventually have to deal with the withdrawal.

For the most part, when you deal with withdrawal, you-ll just have to tough it out, but there are some things that can help cleanse out the toxins and may help to minimize some of the effects of withdrawal...
Drinking water will help to detox, and taking some supplements that work as cleansers may help as well. Specifically, Apple Cider Vinegar, Green Tea (decaffeinated), Chlorophyll (fantastic cleanser), and even good amounts of fiber and water helps some people (although it-s not very comfortable for the lower level of detoxification you get).

All that being said, it-s likely that the symptoms should stop relatively shortly after your last pill (it-s never as long as it feels like it is). Your neurotransmitters don-t take too terribly long to scream for something they are addicted to after you stop.
Another important thing to note is that no matter how bad it gets, taking more of the drug will only make the withdrawal last longer and will be harder on you in the long run.reading what you wrote to him might help motivate him.
If he only smokes 5 cigarettes a day, his risk of smoke related illness is a lot less than someone who smokes a pack a day or more. If you meant 5 packs a day, that-s a lot more serious.
Smoking is very addictive, and has withdrawal effects,
Have him breath through a straw for as long as he can because that is what breathing at all will become for him if he doesn-t quit.
There are some aides to quiting around, like nicotine patches,gum, or spray that people use in decreasing amounts to wean off nicotine rather than going cold turkey. There is a medication called Welbutrin that has helped some people quit, and there is a new medication out called Chantix that really helps some people, but the problem with it is that it-s frightfully expensive (maybe not in Britain), and most insurances won-t cover it. Hypnosis and acupuncture help some people. In other words, there is help out there, but it sometimes takes trying more than one thing to stop.
One other thing- they say the more often a person trys to quit, the greater their chances are of succeeding.
Don-t push to hard- it may make him stubborn.
Good luck, I hope it works out. I remember how awful it was when my father used to smoke 3 packs a day (he finally quit when he was about 75 or so, he used Welbutrin.)I bet you never told him what you just wrote...You need to confront him than just saying you need to stop smoking. You must show him how much you care because he will stop for you. Go to giant and get patches.
Nicoderm CQ patches are what I have heard better reviews about. Just be persistent about making him wear them...Any more questions just ask.

Ps best answer appreciatedHi!
Your dad can take Chantixsit next to him and tell him your worries. try giving him a booklet which yo udownloaded or got froma health centre that speaks about all th ehazrds of somking. tell him that it is really worrying you and that you love him. then check out the government rehab rogrammes or ask him to see wheter it is available on health insurance. if not therapy as well as speaking to a doctor will help. ask him also to do a check up at the doctor ..the doctor migh help in scaring him.

apart from that you cannot kill yourself with worry hunny. i know it hurts to see your dad like that...but you already did your share in helping him by worrying and now you are going to do more by telling him.When I was 26 and my son was 4 yrs old..........he said to me, -mama, don-t you love me?-.............I was shocked! I couldn-t believe he would ask me that! -Of course, I do, Honey, I will always love you!-.............-Well, then, why don-t you want to see me grow up?-................he meant because I was smoking sometimes. I quit on the spot.
Doctors CAN give your father things to help him to quit. Also, there are classes that are free with support groups than can help, as well. Good Luck, Honey...................And, he does love you!It-s very hard to quit. Please remind him every so often that you want him to be around to see you graduate college and dance with you at your wedding. Tell him about all the wonderful times you want him to be there for. Like your first child. Maybe he doesn-t realize that you and all the rest of your family are smoking all those cigarettes too through second hand smoke. Contact your local cancer and lunge associations they have great tips and real help so you can help your dad quit. It-s the most wonderful gift you can give a smoker. Good for you and good luck.

ASAPShort of amputating both arms there is absolutely no way to MAKE someone stop smoking. If the person doesn-t want to quit then all you-ll do is wind them up (I have a habit of lighting my pipe using tapers that I make from National No-Smoking day pamphlets).I am an ex-smoker and I can tell you first hand that bugging someone to quit smoking will not help. That person has to want to stop. Otherwise, you can just mention that they don-t smell as great and their breath stinks.sign them upto smoking clinics and if in uk nhs quit smoking sessions
