How to stop Smoking? -

my old friend has issues with smoking, she won-t stop. She has smoked since I-ve known her in the mid 9oS. I am WORRIED about the side effects of smoking and what it can do to her. She-s my son-t mother also. I DON-T want her to DIE from smoking and leave me and our son by our selves. II have tried to talk to her to quit but it-s NO use, what can I do.Keep putting a picture of your son in the plastic of her pack... I had a friends that did that with me, she kept putting pics of my kids in my packs and that got me to stop cold turkey.

maybe she-ll realize like I did, that my kids and your son, need us around to watch and help them grow up to become good kids and even better adults.tell her to eat mints everytime she needs a smoke, my dad quit by dipping, or take her to a place that has them people with a hole in their throat and i know how u feel kinda my uncle died a couple of months ago form lung cancer it was to late to cureAlan Carr-s -The Easy Way to Stop Smoking- is great for anyone who desires to quit.

For someone who doesn-t, only death will end it.

All I can suggest is to lovingly keep her aware that it is not good for her or your son (second-hand smoke is very bad), and it would be best for everyone if she were to quit. There is a fine line between reminding and nagging. Don-t nag.just buy her this book. (best $15 you-ll ever spend)

pass this link to your smoking friendsYou probably cannot convince her to stop. A smoker has to want to quit smoking to quit. All the patches, gums, etc will not work until you get the mindset that you are going to stop. I am fighting the same battle with my husband. It is not easy. My worrying and crying is not helping either. The best I can say to you is have a sit down with you, your son and his mom. Tell her how much you love her, tell her much you need her, tell her how hard it would be to live without her. Try to get her to make an appointment with her doctor as their are new drugs now that help you stop with going into nicotine withdrawal as bad.

If she smokes around you and your son too remind her that she may be killing the two of you and well as herself. Second hand smoke kills-make her believe it.

I hopes this helps, I really do....

Why does my foot hurt when I smoke? -

Why does my foot hurt when I smoke? -

Okay, first of all I know that it is essential that I stop smoking, I know it is a horrible, obnoxious habit and will kill me. I have been making every effort to stop, but every two or three months (getting less! Getting less!) if I am really stressed out I will smoke a pack and regret it deeply. But I what I want to know is, why does is make my foot swell and hurt? I have fibromyalgia and recently developed diabetes. I excercise regularly and take wonderful care of myself except when doing this one distructive thing.Hello =)

Well...

Nicotine is the most effective vasoconstrictor known to man. That is the reason it causes heart disease (constricts blood vessels supplying blood to the heart)....

SInce you do have diabetes now, I would think that the blood flow to your foot is already compromised to some degree. Smoking just makes it worse.

It also causes a number of other problems due to its consriction of blood vessels.

My suggestion is, to soak foot in warm bath (warm, not hot) for half an hour or so, to increase circulation. That should nullify the effects of the nicotine. Repeat as often as necessary.

I know from whence you come. I-m a severe diabetic for 10 years, and still smoke......

BTW smoking does not cause low blood O2
Saturation....smokers almost always have higher O2 sat levels than non-smokers, due to the lungs- overcompensating. (Unless they have emphysema) The problem is, is that the blood cannot get to the tissues, due to reduced circulation.

Namaste, and Happy New Year,

--TomYour foot is hurting because the smoking is decreasing the amount of oxygen being carried in your blood. This decrease in O2 levels is causing your extremities to go into -survival mode,- i.e. they are hurting to let you know something is wrong and immediate action is needed.

Also, diabetes causes a decrease in blood circulation. With the combination of smoking and diabetes, plan on having your leg amputated sooner than later.it could be poor blood circulation and when you smoke you heart actually pumps faster and with the poor circulation that can cause it to swell and hurt you may want to ask a doctor about checking you circulation and also check for clotsare you smoking your toe accidently

Read that, it may help you quit.

I don-t mean to scare you, but read that. I use to smoke myself for about 6 years and developed high blood pressure. My blood flow is messed up from smoking.

Any cheap ideas on how to stop, w/o pillsHere is MY advice ,,,,,Idea; You must decide to quit, NO B.S.!...When you decide, you need to be SERIOUS;;,,Start by cutting down right away, at 1st, just something, ANYTHING!!.. Do this by putting time between cigs, at least 10 minutes at 1st,,,,or go with 15, or 20, see I don-t know your habit as well as you so??? After 2 weeks, add another 10 minutes between cigs....WEAR A WATCH!!!... DONT CHEAT!!!...see what i-m saying??..get it?...2 weeks later, time to quit all together!! Try that.... AND Once you quit... Use ANYTHING as a sub.. Chew tobbaco, gum, eat , Anything!! to get you by for awhile...I Quit my LAST time by putting time between ciggarettes, it gets your system used to the fact that you-re gonna not be able to smoke all you used to...so when you quit, its easier.......REMEMBER!!! if smoking is so great, why do you want to quit???There are lots of ways you can stop smoking without using pills - some people find hypnosis works for them, others find accupuncture works.

There are also forms of laser therapy which can inhibit the nicotine receptors, stopping you from getting cravings.

If you don-t want anything like that, then it is possible to stop cold turkey - the cravings can be hard to resist, but they don-t last long, and many people find it-s the habit that is hardest to break - they reach for a cigarrette because they-re used to doing so, even though they don-t actually WANT one at the time. If you can find something to replace the smoking habit, then you will be in a much better position.Good for you for wanting to stop!
It won-t be easy, but you-ll definitely live better
without the devil sticks,
if only by saving a fortune in cigarettes
(a mere $3 pack-per-day habit
comes to over $1,000 per year!!!)
or whatever you were smoking,
not to mention the inevitable hospital bills.

Use your favorite search engine to look for home remedies; also check with the American Cancer Society and other legitimate medical-based websites, and/or consult your parents and/or physician, if only to avoid taking bogus cure-alls. Many communities have smoking cessation groups, quite a few of which are free; check your community or town hall bulletin boards, local newspapers, hospitals, etc.

Good luck!Try this: Each day or if you want each week a cigarett less.Throw it in the garbage and don-t care about the money you-ve spent because your health and habbits are more expensive than a pack or two of cegarettes.Put each number of thrown cigarett on your calendar as a reminder and you will start making your new habbit...much better one.
All the best
SezaI love the patch. It-s really great! It-s cheaper...they have generic brands that are quite a bit less money and they work the same.

It takes care of physical cravings...seriously. Plus, if you smoke while on the patch, you get really nauseous...

The generic line costs me 20$ a week...quite a bit less than 7 packs of cigarettes!

Cold turkey also works. You have to leave your debit card/credit card at home and only carry less money than a pack of cigarettes costs. Cigarettes here are 11$, so I would only carry 10$ cash. It worked.If you really want to stop smoking than get family members to help, tell them if they see you with a cig than take it from you if your really committed because famliy usualy don-t let one another down.just say nodon-t you ever buy or get it from someone else
