I am trying to quit smoking (cigarettes and weed) and it’s so hard cause my boyfriend does it and we live together he doesn’t pressure me i just smell it and im done so i need a sure fire way to quit cold turkey im trying to get a job and it’s not good for my health (asthma) and what are some good ways o get it out of your system faster then a month im starting this job program on the 21st and they will have a job waiting for me plz help im trying to get my life together

I’m planning on quitting starting Aug 21st. My reason is so i can live longer for my child, plus he has asthma and i don’ t want the cigarette smoke in my clothes anymore when he breathes it in. Another reason is gas prices are so high now and between gas prices and buying cigarettes i spend at least -0 a month. This will be my first time ever doing this, i don’t even know how to quit or avoid the cravings. I really can’t afford the smoking cessation classes (don’t know if i spelled the word right lol) i just want to do it on my own. I already know that the nicotine gum won’t work because i already chew gum when i’m smoking a cigarette. Need advice please and thank you to all!
I have people that will support me, like my boyfriend (he wants me to quit also), co-workers, my mom said she’ll support me but she smokes too and i live with her, i know other family members will be willing to help me.

Thanks.
Thanks sawyl. Thats a good website but it doesnt have anything about asthma.

Way back when i was little i spent a few days in hospital as i had a really bad asthma attack..

Can Asthma come back if you had it before? September 08 i was very ill with bronchitis, which left me a bit wheezy, then over christmas i had two different colds. Now 2months later i have a really bad Wheezy chesty cough, it’s not Flem just chesty and extremely painful when i breath in and out. It almost feels like it’s bruised.

just wondering whether it could be asthma or not?

Just a quick question before i go to bed.
Has anyone who suffers from asthma had worse symptoms: earlier today, or after the quake?
Ive been using my inhalour more than usual tonight, and i just wondered if this is a coincidence.

My cousin just had an asthma attack but it wasn’t a real big one but because he is quite young his parents are worried that it’s going to happen again and they don’t know alot about asthma so what simple things could trigger his asthma again and what should he avoid doing?

I am 34 yrs old and have been diagnosed with COPD with asthma on top of that. Iguess it has just started to set in on me that I,m slowly dying. They told me that it’s moderate. I am just wanting to know approx. I know that everyone is different so I just wanted to see if anyone could tell me!
I have had pneumonia (double) several times. I catch colds, flu, whatever is going around. I havepartly blocked airways and I have damage to the air sacs, my airways stay swollen most of the time and I have alot of mucus most of the time also, sometimes so thick it feels like I can’t breathe or it feels like there is a very tiny hole to breathe through. Maybe these details help.

I keep on feeling light headed, and as if my heart is racing and because of that i feel short of breath. My school nurse said i may have asthma because my brother and mum have but im 16 and have never had asthma symptoms before. I’ve had the symptoms for the last two years but there were huge gaps in between them but now i cant go 2 or 3 weeks without getting them. Any advice?

My 11 yr old son has asthma just wondering if anyone knows any home remedies? And i have taken him to the doctor he is on Ventolin..

My husbands foot and ankle swells up, and turns pink. The nurse said it is from vascular pulmonary disease. He has asthma, is this the same? She said it will continue to swell from now on.

Why is it that nurofen and aspirin aggravate asthma?

I am 34 I was diagnosed a couple of years ago,I am a lifetime Non smoker,I don’t allow it in my house.I dont allow street drugs in my house either.I also have fibromyalgia,asthma,&arthritis.

Somebody has told me that people with Asthma will not have to pay prescription charges in 2009, i have had a look online but i can not find anything to find out if its true. Does anybody know anything about it?

I would love to go to university to study veterinary science but have always been held back with my alergies to animals, doctors just say that i have to deal with it even though it interfears with my asthma and stay away from the animals. I aways promised myself that when my daughter started school I would forfil a dream and go to university and this is stopping me. Doea anyone have any suggestion ??

My husband has asthma and uses a preventative inhaler as well as a reliever. He has currently invested in a Powerbreathe as well.

He does sports (Tae Kwondo) and his fitness is ok. The asthma nurse on his check up was 550. He hasnt suffered an asthma attack in several years.

He wants to join the police which won’t happen until he is offer his medication. Is there any way he can do this?

I am being taken through the sickness policy due to my abscences due to Asthma (usually in hospital).

Does anyone know what "Reasonable adjustments" I can ask my employer for under the DDA?

I’m thinking of training to be a fireman but I have mild asthma. Will they refuse me because of this?

I love dogs and cats but have suffered from severe allergies and asthma my whole life. I am looking for a dog which won’t provoke asthma and will have a calm temperment, we live in a community which won’t tolerate an anxious or aggressive pet.

I am a vegan and would like to use one just for today (as i don’t normally get asthma) but i am not sure if it contains any animal products ? Thanks
F.A.O. the assumptive one called Sonya : I AM asthmatic, I just get it very occasionally from the odd allergy. I used to have it all the time as a child and regularly used the inhaler BEFORE I became vegan. But I don’t want to come across as rude, Sonya.

I Can’t Breathe Well, What’s Wrong? When I exercise, even just running on the treadmill, it hurts to breathe. I have to breathe very deeply and long. I feel like I have to spit every other second because I can’t breathe well. My legs nor body gets tired, just my breathing doesn’t seam right. Could I have asthma or could something else be wrong?

I am taking beclametasone (preventer), Salbutamol (reliever) and montekulast singulair (add on) for my asthma. I have started to wake up at night coughing and having to use my reliever at least once a day. I don’t have a chest infection so I’m not sure whether to go to the doctors or not? Can he do anything else to help me?

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?

After a recent trip to the doctor it was diagnosed that my 18 month old son could possibly has asthma. He was prescribed two inhalers which should be administered through a nebuliser. He is supposed to take 5-10 breaths from the nebuliser for each one, however he gets really upset when he sees it or when we try and give it to him. This means we are lucky if he can get one or two breaths from it. We have tried to put him more at ease with it, by pretending to take it ourselves or pretending to give it to his teddies but it doesn’t seem to make any difference, he will still get really upset.
Can anyone give me any advice on how to help him be more comfortable with taking it? If any one has had any similar situations with their children and any solutions they found that worked.
Any advice anyone could give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
