My boyfriend has been a smoker for almost 3 years now, and i’m trying to find a easy helpful way to help him stop. I don’t want to give up on him. He really wants to quit, and he’s been trying too, but he gets frustrated and goes back to his normal habits. I know it’s hard for him to do this by his self, but does anyone have any helpful hints to help me?

- Thanks!

My dad is a really heavy smoker, he almost always has been. He goes out for a smoke almost every other hour. My mom got him to stop once, but then we drove cross-country 3 years ago, and he went out for a smoke he said it was "just one, its no big deal" but he has been since, and he is already showing signs of lung cancer. Please help!

My boyfriend has been smoking for almost 3 years now. He probably smokes 2 packs a week.

How can I help him to quit? I want to be supportive and encourage him to do so. I know he gets frustrated and wants to quit but he never seems to do it or take any steps in the right direction. I don’t think he knows where to start.

I’ve been smoking for almost 3 years, and whenever I go without a cigarette I go crazy from withdrawals. This is why I don’t think I could do it without an aid. What is the best one I can buy without a prescription?

me and my boyfriend made a deal, that we were going to quit smoking.
his part is working, and he’s cut back to one cig a day.
and i want to quit so bad, but it’s hard.
please help me, because nothing i do seems to help.
i need one like every 10 minutes, and it’s not good.
i’ve been smoking for only 2-3 years,
but it’s sooo hard. :/
Also, my mom is the one who keeps buying me cartins of them, even when i tell her DONT GET ME ANY THIS WEEK. she still gets them and says " they will be here if you need them" and i don’t need them, i just want them.. i’ve tried to use the gum, and it didn’t work with me.. i’ve tried to quit so many times, but nothing is working for me.

i have c o p d, chronic bronchitis, fibrious growths in both lungs and a nondescript growth in right bronchial tract

am currently quiting smoking i’ve smoked for about 3 years and am now quiting for a healthier lifestyle i know that smoking can cause gum disease them gums sometimes bleed when i brush them but am using this mouthwash that helps gum problem with quting smoking will my gums get better in time?

She will be 3 years old in March.

She goes to asthma clinic once a month and is on 2 different inhalers.

I wondered if anyone has any suggestions on what would be best for her?

Anti allergy pillows?
Laminate floor in her bedroom?

Is there anything special that needs to be done to make life easier for her?

I’ve had asthma my whole life for as long as I can remember, It cleared up for the most part 3 yrs ago when I went from 22stone to 15 stone. I’ve always wanted to join the army but is there any way I can get into any part of the armed forces with asthma? It’s not bad asthma, I’ve never had an attack and it’s only noticeable if I exert myself without taking any Salbutamol or when I wake up in the morning.

Can’t I join the logistics corps or army intelligence?
Ok thanks so far, but is it 3 years without asthma or 3 years without an attack? (I’ve never had an attack and I’m 20) A few months ago I got pretty fit (for me anyway) and I was running 9 minute miles (not sure if thats any good). Shouldn’t they take me if my level of fitness is still very good?

My mother has been a heavy smoker for over 30 years and has emphysema and stopped smoking 3 years ago. A couple days ago she got very ill and lethargic and was turning blue so we rushed her to the hospital and it turns out she has advanced COPD and they have her on a ventilator to breathe. My question is how long can someone live after being diagnosed with COPD? She is 58 years old and i’m so afraid she won’t come home from the hospital.
