I dont smoke. I was just wondering what would it take a person who smokes right now to stop smoking? I really hate it when people smoke and smoking is really bad for you and I was wondering... what would it take for a smoker to stop smoking?After smoking for 25 years. I came down with a bad cold. And as I was lighting up a smoke, a four year old child said to me -You can-t really be enjoying that.-

It struck me hard that this child had more sense than I did. I quit.

That was 30 some odd years ago.My dad caught a cold and it was pretty bad. He had to quit smoking. He got over his cold and he still hasn-t smoked. I think I-ll bake him something as a celebration (three weeks!).I smoked 2 + packs per day for over 30 years. I had a -scare- hit me. One day I couldn-t catch my breath and just felt that I had a heart attack. I didn-t, but I quit -Cold Turkey- the next day. Its been 5 years now and feel great. Believe me, it-s a very hard -addiction- to break. I enjoyed smoking very much. I am thankful that this -Scare- happened to me or I probably would still be smoking.I was a smoker for about 3 yrs - when I was 16 to 19.... basically for me it was the realization that I stunk....all of my clothes - even my hair - nasty. And the fact that cigs are so expensive was a biggie too.

I nkow its a lot harder for people who smoked for longer though. My Mom smoked for over 30 years and she quit about 5 yrs or so ago after she was hospitalized for severe bronchitis and had to be on oxygen. Oxygen tank and a lighter don-t mix well :), so my Dad quit as well. Afterwards they realized how bad our house stunk my whole life and they-ve never gone back.I don-t smoke, and I hate secondhand smoke!

Frankly, it seems like nothing can stop them! I think they will stop until their body really damaged by smoking...

Just for your information, my uncle stopped smoking until his leg swollen almost double the size... doctor said his veins was clotted.. and might related to smoking.... he stopped finally....

Personally, when I saw the ugly teeth, -tar lungs-... etc, I want to vomit....Very good for you...you do not smoke. That-s a plus for anyone. However, every single person in this country has RIGHTS by the Constitution and until they have an Amendment which outlaws smoking, (and I don-t believe they every will unless they want a multi-billion dollar industry to collapse) they get to smoke whether people who do not, like ir or not.

What it would take is -free government patches and gum-...

Hey, look at it this way. They give new people coming into this country tax free living for 7 years; a line of credit through Bank of America; people get to come over the border and work and not pay taxes, but collect social security...SO THEY CAN AFFORD to help people quit smoking if the surgeon general thinks it-s so bad.

There a many things that people do that I hate as well because they are against my beliefs; however, I have to accept it because government says it okay. So, we all have to just -live with it- as it is for now until changes are made.

Besides...smokers don-t kill as many people as drunk drivers or people UTI of drugs operating cars. I think alcohol should be banned because I don-t drink and I HATE it when people do. They don-t know how badly THEY smell, how they talk, barely walk or drive. So, which is worse? I-m in my own home smoking, it-s been banned in public places like bars and restraunts..on planes and airports...and I guess that does it for now.for them to care that they are ruining thier lungs and the rest of the body with every stinky puffi quit smoking when i had a sharp pain in my lungs. put them down and never picked them up again, that was 20 years ago. my lungs are in very good shape now.Perhaps you should emphasize the high maintenance cost of being a smoker.I don-t smoke either..
But I do know this, it-s easier to give up alcohol for an alcoholic than a smoker to stop smoking.

There was money involved, and the drinker is a non-drinker now for 4 years, and the smoker friend is still puffing away, all alone behind my garage, out of my sight and nose rador!!

it makes me throw up.
I live in California......and it-s almost a non-smoking state!!

They will only stop if and when they truly want to, or even when their health depends upon it........it-s a hard habit to kick!!

Glad it-s not my addiction.

I did smoke socially as a teen.

Why does nicotine slow the healing of broken bones? -

Why does nicotine slow the healing of broken bones? -

I broke my ankle and the doctor said if I didn-t stop smoking it would take longer to heal. Why? Please no anti smoking nazis telling me how bad smoking is.Nicotine constricts blood vessels that supply your extremities like your hands and feet. Without adequate blood supply, things take longer to heal.

This is why people with diabetes can get ulcers or gangrene on their feet, because the high glucose damages the blood vessels and decreases the blood supply. Fortunately the effects of nicotine should go away if you stop smoking.it can lower or highten blood pressure and keep nutrients from being absorbed from the blood, and may put hazerdous materials in the cells, or they might keep the bonemakers (blastocytes) in your bones from making bone at the same rate. It could be any number of things that came from the cigarettes as they may contain toxic metals. And I am not preaching anti-smoking. There are plenty of people that already do that.Nicotine is a toxin that puts strain on your body. Ingesting nicotine is conceptually the same as drinking bleach or eating rat droppings in small quantities. Nicotine damages your body every time you consume it and the body expends resources to repair that damage, which in your case the resources are needed elsewhere to mend a bone.Well, Because smoking makes the bone healing process really really slow so you should stop smoking !

Can someone PLEASE answer my question?

Smoking causes bones to heal slower because it decreases circulation. Bones and tissues--especially ones that are healing--need an adequate blood supply to do so.

Is this because smoking or am i lacking something in my diet?
and i please dont tell me to stop smoking. i know its bad for you its my choiceSmoking ANYTHING is VERY bad for your oral health. Smoking will/can lead to gum loss which means tooth loss, as well as oral cancer. While it is your choice, you need to be prepared for what may happen in the future. If you continue to smoke you-ll face a lifetime of problems and dental bills.yes you are right, smoking anything, tobacco weed or anything else will cause inflammation to the oral tissues, so while it is your choice, it is also your fate to deal with the consequences.Smoking (of anything) causes serious gum issues and future problems to deal with. Very expensive dentist trips or lack of teeth.Yes, it definitely does.
