cigarette smoke

What is the best way to encourage my mom to stop smoking?

help me to stop smoking! stop smoking medications, stop smoking help, stop smoking plans and more

I’ve used an awful lot of scare tactics. This biggest one yet…

My grandmother (her mother died) of Alzheimer’s and had really bad cataracts. These have both been linked (somehow, it’s just the tactic I use) to smoking.

I’ve blamed my mother for my asthma and allergies, since I grew up in a smoke filled house. Every time I go to visit my mom, even though she keeps her smoking to her bedroom and bathroom, I still get sick.

My husband and I have recently decided to try to start a family. I don’t want to expose my kid to cigarette smoke. I don’t want to deny access to the child, but I hate the idea of visiting my folks and exposing the child to the smoke.

My dad’s also smoke pipe tobacco. He should be easier to convince to stop than my mom.

PLEASE HELP!!!!

I know there are others concerned like myself.

(Serious answers only. Please no point hogging.)

How do I quit smoking while taking adderall ?

Ok I lied I don’t smoke but my boyfriend does. I am allergic to cigarette smoke but I don’t want this to be the end of the relationship and he is willing to quit. However he has really bad ADD and must take adderall in order to get things done. He says when he takes the adderall it makes him focus on the craving for a cigarette and he usually has almost a whole pack. When he doesn’t take the adderall he doesn’t feel the need to smoke. Any tips for me to pass on to him?

How hard is it to quit smoking?

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.

What can I use to stop smoking during pregnacy?

Is there anything that I can take that is safe that will help me to stop smoking. During my first pregnacy long ago, the smell of cigarette smoke made me sick. I am very early in pregnacy but what can I possibly take that would not be harmful to the baby. I still have terrible cravings for cigarettes.

How do you get someone to stop smoking at work?

I started a new job a month ago. I was so happy because I finally got decent pay and health insurance. Unfortunately, this was too good to be true. One of my coworkers smokes in the office. I have asthma and am allergic to cigarette smoke. Everytime she lights one up, I start smothering. I told my boss in person about my health condition and all he said he’d do is put up automatic door closers on the doors around her (she smokes in the doorway of the building so she can stay by the phone). Well, about 2 or 3 weeks went by, and he’d still not put anything up. I decided to email him and tell him again. I asked him if he could ban smoking indoors completely. Well, finally he decides to put those automatic door closers on there. But guess what, she props her door open! It’s terrible!

Anyway, have any of you dealt with smokers at work. How do you get someone to stop. The bad thing is, my boss is a smoker too! So he doesn’t care! If they don’t stop, I’m going to have to find another job!
Well, about speaking to her directly. She can be very mean. She was very ugly to me at first, and then someone talked to her for me, and now she’s nice. I don’t know how she’d react if I told her to stop.
The reason she smokes in the doorway is because she’s a dispatcher. If she goes outside completely, she’ll miss a call or something on the radio.
I did talk to my boss. He’s a smoker as well and does not care about my condition. Also, if I cause a big stink about this, everyone is going to dislike me because the majority of people there seem to smoke. The other non-smokers are medics and get to get away. I’m an office person and always have to be there. Eh, it sucks. :(
