Could u plz advise me something on how to stop smoking? -

coz I-d been smoke for 5 yrs.... help....... thanksI asked my doctor for a prescription for chantix yesterday. I havent started it yet but hope it works. It doesnt contain nicotine like the other methods and has a support program. You can smoke the first 7 days. First you have to make up your mind to stop and what day to stop. As well as the reasons you want to stop.just look at some picture of people with cancer.
if that doesnt do it then there is no hope you are lost to the tabacco corporations!

Whats the best way to stop smoking without meds? Help!? -

Whats the best way to stop smoking without meds? Help!? -

I went to a hynotherapist. It-s not for everyone...but it worked for me. I was pretty calm and didn-t have the craving as I did when I quit cold turkey or with the patch.I used Commit lozenges which you can buy at a drug store. They did it for me. Going cold turkey is pretty painful. The lozenges meet the craving and you slowly lower the dose. Then one day you realize you don-t even need them. I highly recommend you trying it.HypnosisThere are courses you can follow this is very good .Because the group is supporting each other .A lot of people stop smoking .
There are badges too , you can get them in pharmacy
But the most important is you must be really convinced to stop .

Good luck

I am a female 41 yrs of age as of feb 20th this yer. i have COPD and I have known for a while that I need to if not STOP, slow down on my cig. use. Please cite your source when e mailing me and thanks for your input.You didn-t state the type or severity of the COPD that you have and if you could provide that information if would help. Once you stop smoking the clilia start working again andatart to regrow the -burnt off bits- within a 6 week period. In the first week alone food starts to taste better and that is why we so strongly encourage a walking with a die hard friend foe who-ll kick your butt out the door even when your carrying a chain saw and a tire iron. I know that I can be done. I was a three pak a day chain smoke-n fool until I went into respiratory therapy school. My Staff precept was also the department dirictor and part owner in the hospital, therefore he took me up to the specials unit to show me a lady on a respirator. They had takrn out her entire Left lung due to cancer. When I was escorted into her room and handed a flash light and instructed to look all I could see was her beating heart and her partially shrunked lung on the good because the doctors were afraid to do more barotruma.
My souces include but are not limited to #1 personal experience, #2 CDC, #3 American Heart Association, #4 American Lung Association, #5 NIH, #6 The tobacco quit line, #7 phillip-morris foundation. These are just a few to get you started. All can be found on the internet. One final note .....Did you know that in about 3 month you can regain up to approximatly 30% of your lung function, depending on how bad the damage was to begin with. And at 10 years of abstenence from smoking you change of have ing lung canger is equal to that of a person who never smoked. Pretty cool, I-d say. If you have specific questions e-mail me. Lights almost always on. Prayers on a sussessful quit date.
You too can be a quiter. Hooray!!!!!!I don-t remember the book we used but back in high school I took and AP bio class and in it I know it stated that when you stop after 1 week you start to feel healthier, 1 year you can breath easier and after 5 years your lungs are no longer black. This is about the time they start to repair themselves.Your lungs will regenerate to perfect pink in 7 years.

I-m having a hard time finding the link to that, but I-ve known it for years from medical classes in the Marines.

You could try acupuncture. Although not a smoker, I have heard quite a few success stories. I think the main thing is that you really want to give up, you will have more success. Also there are many C.D-S that self help.

Good LuckI went to fagends the Roy Castle place and they gave me loads of support. I stopped smoking after 35 years and havent had one for 3 yrs now and dont even crave oneWell...there is nicorette gum and the patch and then there is prescription zyban pill (aka wellbutrin) those are the easier softer ways. There is counseling available from American Cancer society which is by phone and free. When I quit 4 months ago I just quit cold turkey. I prayed everyday for God to help me to stay away from cigarettes. I drank massive quantities of orange juice because it is supposed to help with cravings. I chewed regular sugarless gum everytime I wanted a cigarette. I kept a loose rubberband around my wrist so my hands would have something to fidget with when I felt like smoking. I kept plenty of fresh crunchy veggies like carrots and celery on hand to munch on for about 3-4 weeks so I wouldn-t gain too much weight when my appetite returned and I realized how good food tastes without a mouth full of smoke. I made a list of all the reasons I wanted to quit and taped it to the door that I used to go out to smoke. I thought of all the good things that would happen because I quit and made a list of those. I quit smoking in the middle of the pack...just threw the rest away instead of, -waiting until I finished that pack.- The first three days were the hardest but after that it was smooth sailing. I still pray for God to keep me nicotine free. I can breathe easier and I don-t stink anymore. I am healthier and I feel great!Chantix. I have had six out of seven freinsd quit that way. I have it sitting on my desk right now - just waiting to quit a course of another med.......I should clarify, of the seven who tried it, six put down the smokes. (the last one really doesn-t want to quit, his wife wants him to - really, the wrong motivation)

Good LuckI haven-t had a cigarette for almost 2 years. I used Niquitine 4mg lozenges.
They provide the nicotine in a safer way. I-m still addicted but don-t get all the harmful, carcinogenic, -extras- with my tablets.
In the UK you can get a script from your Dr for these.I have been using This alternative therapy call Emotional Freedom Technique which has helped me a lot. It-s very good at getting rid of all kinds of negative emotions and dealing with all kinds of issues quickly. It does sound crazy but does work. It might be something that can help you. If you type smoking in to the search engine of emofree.com you should find some articles about EFT helping people who smoke.Patches and gum from your G.P because they are cheaper that way I did and i have not smoked for just over 3 months and i was on 20 a day. Good luck.I used a 21mg patch combined with inhalor eening off both gradually. I cut the patches in half to cut down as opposed to buying the lesser strength which is a lot more cost effective!!

Without being annoying???People smoke for two reasons according to a Harvard Study that has now become very famous. 1) A death wish and 2) to show other people that they are in control of their lives and no body is going to tell them what to do. Both of these are very negative reasons and hard to overcome unless you can get to the -root- of the problem. The physical addiction of smoking leaves the body in a few days, but it is the emotional aspect that is the difficult one. Most people don-t realize what the -root- cause is because they have lived with it for a long time.

To tell someone that smoking is bad for you and to stop is not the answer. Because it-s bad for them, this simply supports the person-s ultimate goal. When you look at what smoking really is, it-s not hard to logically come to the conclusion that it-s very bad for you and you should not do it. The cigarette smokes, not the person, all the person does is suck. Burnt clothing, wrinkling skin, hoarse throat, lung cancer, and all the bad things you can say about it just feeds the addiction, not deter it.

If you care about this guy, you need to let him know that if he doesn-t stop, you cannot put yourself in this position because it will affect your health as well. If you choose to stay if he doesn-t quit, you need to look at your own issues as well. His life will be cut short and yours as well if you continue with this relationship.

There are many techniques that can be used to get to the -root- cause of his problem, but you need to confront this problem directly and sorry if it makes him irritated, you should be more irritated than him.

Look into EFT techniques to get to the root cause and then he needs to deal with that or he will never quit.

good luck to you

There is no doubt that smoking is probably the hardest thing to stop on this planet. But there are lots of numbers and groups and programs that you can use to stop smoking. I have a blog on my website that has lots of info on this topic and what many countries are doing to try to cut down on the amount of people smoking. And to not be annoying, you just gotta be real with him and tell him that you arn-t digging it and its really bothering you. If he cares, he will listen.

Those patches are pretty good,what he needs is your support,keep any mate-s that smoke away from him for awhile/if he asks for one make sure his mate-s don-t do it
My biggest down fall is having a few beer-s then my will power goes down the S bend and i start up again.
I think that-s about itYou can-t. He has to make the decision. However, you can decide that you don-t want to date someone who smokes. That could be the wake up call he needs.

How can i help my bf stop smoking? -

Did u eventually stop smoking as you got older? im only 18? -

Did u eventually stop smoking as you got older? im only 18? -

i really want to stop
i started about a year ago
any advice would be swellI-ve been smoking since I was your age. I am now 48. I have quit once by using the patch (Nicorette) and it worked. I was smoke free for 9 months. At that time, I was moving to another state, had no job lined up, and was under a lot of stress to start getting a paycheck again, so I started smoking again. I know that I need to quit for good (again) because eventually, I will have health problems....and so will you.

Do yourself a favor - use the gum, use the patch, quit cold-turkey - anything. When it comes to smoking, be a quitter.

Good luck.you won-t eventually stop smoking. Most likely you will only become more addicted as the years pass. I started smoking at 19 and now I-m 25 and haven-t had a cigarette in 11 months. It-s really hard to stop. This is my boyfriend-s 4th attempt and he-s really struggling with it. So, I would recommend that you stop now before you let it become too much of a habit. Your lungs will thank you :)The longer you smoke the harder it will be to quit. Quitting on your own is more difficult. Talk with a doctor to see if he/she has any suggestions. There are medications that can help. I-ve heard Nicoderm has a high success rate. You should also check to see if your state has any smoking cessation programs. In Nevada, we have the Tobacco Users Helpline. I think their number is 800-QUITNOW. I don-t see why you couldn-t call them even if you aren-t in Nevada. Wont- hurt to try. They can offer you tips and support for quitting. Good luck.NO, you only smoke more the older you get. The nicotine is a very strong agent. It won-t let you quit without a lot of pain the longer you have it in your system.

ice water and deep breathing and lots of exercise. When you want to light up, get busy doing something that prevents you from doing it.

Quit NOW!!!! I am your grandma!! I started smoking when I was 18!! and to scare you:

YOU ARE A CANDIDATE FOR COPD!!!! this stupid disease connects you to oxygen machine for remainder of life, nasty bella donna type meds to control your breathing, and therapy for being able to breathe better!!!No but I did eventually begin to cut down without really trying.
I-m 32 and I smoked at least a pach a day throughout my twenties but now only smoke 8 per day. I partied a lot in my 20-s which is why I was more addicted to nicotine, I needed it more to get through the day due to my lack of sleep.it all depends on the individual

some ppl wont ever quit and then die of lung cancer LOL
some ppl quit, maybe in their 50-s after recovering from lung cancer LOL
some ppl dont smoke
some ppl are able to quit as soon a they want

so depends on your own motivationNo, as I got older, the amount of cigarettes increased. It-s like your body can handle more, so why not smoke more.Stop now unless you like stinking to 3/4 of the people you meet.
