He’s my stepdad but i call him dad because he’s more of a father to me than my biological dad was. Every morning i hear him cough like crazy and my mom always teasingly says "another cigarette dear"? He’s been smoking since before they got married and they’ve been married for almost 7 years now. I don’t want him to die prematurely because of this please help! I’ve talked to my mom about it and she says that he’ll quit when he’s ready but when will that be? Hopefully soon! I’m really worried about him please help! Thanks!

I have been trying to quit smoking for the last three months. But whenever I’m not very busy doing something I have the erge to smoke. Also, when I at work, some of my co worker know that I am trying to quit and they make things worse because that start asking whether I have had a cigarrette. The fact that they even mentioned it makes me want a cigarette, so I end of lapsing. I don’t want to use the patch or any drugs that help to stop smoking. And I really don’t crave the nicotine. It’s really a habit. For instance, when I get in the car, I am use to lighting a cigarrette. So, I do. I’ve tried chewing gum and that works only a short while. To add on, I am trying to loose weight as well. One day, I did ok, but I craved chocolate and sugar all day long. I ate all day long, too. What else can I do? Not to mention, I have asthma, as well.

I’m only 16 years old and i am really badly addicted to smoking. I have to have one as soon as i wake up and last thing before I go to sleep. I smoke regularly through out the day and I run out and have no money i steal cigarettes from my mum. I really want to quit because i know the harm it can do to my body but also for my boyfriend so he won’t avoid me just after i have had a cigarette. any help?

How to cover up the smell of cigarettes

In general, cigarettes smell. It means, when being smoked, of course. It smell so hard that if you do nothing against it, it just stays on your cloths, furniture, walls, wardrobe etc. the smell stays around you as a cloud and when you speak or get closer to someone else. Even he doesn’t get it consciously, his nose will always get what you’ve just done. As an effect, many people will desire to be distant from you, here the smell is tolerable. If you like this situation than everything is fine. But, if you don’t, here are some tips as for how to cover up the smell of cigarettes.

There are some solutions, all are just a solution to the smell, it will never return your health to the place where it could have been without it. So, just take care of this issue too. I don’t tell you not to smoke, but… there are consequences.

Then, we can discuss this issue of how to cover up the smell of cigarettes from one’s mouth.

First, you can chew. Chewing gum without sugar is also good for your dental and mouth health, but will also eliminate bad smells. Try to choose one that has a strong smell, such as mint, it would do the job. The second things you can get into your mouth are candies. Here also mint is preferred.

Now, to remove the smell you can also drink or eat something that has strong smell. Drinking will usually suit better because smoking is usually done after eating, so the hunger is usually gone, weather by the cigarette or by the food consumed. You can drink sweet beverage such as cola, fanta, orange juice if you prefer.

For me, the easiest thing to use, the most beneficial and handy is mint spray. A small spray you can hold everywhere, in your house, your room, car, or in a bag if you carry one. Just psssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Hope you found it useful. Have a good breath smell!

I found out I have some small problems with my heart and my Doc wants me to slow down or quit smoking. I figure there is no point in slowing down, I should just quit. So I need some good methods to stop and not be needing something in my hands or the cravings for the cigarette.
Any Tried and True ideas?

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?

She recently turned 18 and she has been smoking for two years now. She told me that she used to smoke a cigarette or two a month, but then she began to smoke more often. She is not a heavy smoker, but she smokes 1 or 2 cigarettes a day. I keep telling her to quit smoking before it becomes too late. She told me that she wants to stop smoking, but she is becoming addicted to it. Now I’m worried that she will smoke more cigarettes a day and then she will not be able to quit. What can I do to help her stop smoking?

I know each person is different, but about how long does it take for the cravings to go away. I can restraint from a cigarette for 8 hours each day at work, and have gone as long as 12 hours when I was on a trip with students. However, the minute the opportunity arises I’m having a cigarette. I crave the act of smoking much more than the nicotine I recieve from it (nicotine gum makes me crave a cigarette). I’ve tried to quit unsuccessfully and find if I don’t have access to them, the nicotine cravings occur about every 4-6 hours while the craving for a cigarette occurs ever 15-30 minutes. How long would it take for these cravings to disappear?

If you don’t understand the difference between craving a cigarette and craving the nicotine I don’t really know how to explain it to a non-smoker. Sorry.

Don’t try to talk me out of the cigarette, I already smoked it, well half of it anyways. Preferably only answers from those who have quit smoking or gone through what I am. I quit cold turkey by the way.

I have been smoking cigarettes in social situations or when I’ve been stressed since I was 15 years old, now 21. On average I probably smoke two or three packs of cigarettes every six months. I love to smoke, and it helps me de-stress so much listening to music and having a cigarette in the car on the way home from school. Everybody knows they are terrible for you, and they cause an array of cancers. How do I stop doing this? How did you quit smoking?

I know it is hard to quit smoking. But I am determined to help my friend quit smoking. Just wondering what is the most effective way to quit smoking? Patch?
I have heard of electric cigarette. What is that? Thank you

It has had only 1 cigarette smoked in it.

Most of the questions involving canabis smoking on here seem to have support from the answers. However, if someone mentions cigarette smoking its a completely different story!

Please note that I am not against either, I just wondered why people can be more accepting to something that is illegal to the equivalent that IS legal.

She has decided she wants to stop smoking, but she doesn’t seem to be getting anywhere.
However, i know that if i keep telling her to stop smoking, it will put pressure on her, then she will need another cigarette.

Any tips on how to support her, but in the less obvious way?

My friend told me her dad just got a laser treatment to stop smoking, and he hasn’t picked up a cigarette since the day he got it. My mom is very adamant about quitting and I think this is a really good option if it works. Shes tried all the gums, pills and patches and nothing has worked. Can anyone help me out and tell me more about it, and how effictive it is?

My fiance has been smoking on and off for probably 15 years. He’s successfully quit a few times, only to eventually end up smoking again. He smokes about half a pack a day right now. He knows how much I can’t stand it because I don’t want to lose him to cancer or heart disease in 20 years, but this doesn’t seem to deter him enough. He wants to stop, or at least he says so, and he has tried the gum and the lozenges with a little success, but he doesn’t seem completely motivated (sometimes he’ll choose the cigarette over the lozenge, for example). What can I do to help him stop for good? Do you have any ideas, or ways that you’ve helped someone stop smoking?
He hates fixing stuff up around the house, unless it’s a comuputer heh… but I could keep his hands busy with a video game.. thanks for the idea.

I think he also likes the social aspect of smoking, which is an even harder thing to break imo…

My dad has been "trying" to stop for about 2 years. He buys the patches, but always puts off the actual quitting.
All it does is waste money. My mum isn’t as bad as my father, who smokes cigarette after cigarette.

When I go to school, people say I stink of smoke, and I do! It’s really embarassing.

I’ve tried speaking to them about it but they just ignore me.

What can I do?

I have just recently started smoking the occasional cigarette once or twice a week and after I’ve had one I get a crazy nicotine rush. I feel really dizzy. When the rush ends I have a headache for like 3 hours.

I was wondering if somebody could tell me why this is

BTW I am smoking Marlboro Lights

I live in a room with a smoke allarm, and i wanted to know if by smoking a cigarette there i will trigger the smoke alarm. Thank you
