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

I hate cigarettes but they relax me. I used to stop when I wanted but now I can’t do it anymore. I think I’m becoming addicted. Has anyone here stopped after becoming a smoker? What did you do to help you?

I’m in 13 and in 7th grade. I smoke around a pack to a pack and a half a day. I can’t help it. I’ve tried to stop, it’s just really addicting. The first thing I do, before I even roll out of bed, is smoke a few cigarettes. I have my cigarettes in my hand on the bus and smoke them the minute I step off the bus. Right now…smoking a cigarette. I smoke all the time. I really need help to stop!! I just have habits and patterns formed.

cigarettes. yeah, the problem s…she wants to smoke, but doesn’t want to around me to hurt me. but when she smokes whe im not around. her beautiful body and qualties will be destroyed. are there any cigarettes? that are made that aren’t bad for you? or at least aren’t as bad that it causes you to have wrinkles, yellow teeth, and stink.

Taxes on cigarettes, liquor, and their likes would likely increase as part of ‘economic reforms’. Do you think this measure helps folks who drink and smoke to stop, or scale back on the quantity they consume? Should soft drinks be included in the list?

What if the taxes that is increased for these goods is offset by a reduction in price for basic commodities like rice, sugar, eggs, milk..? would that be better?

My boyfriend is 15 and he smokes pot and cigarettes and drinks. He always tells me he wants to and is trying to quit but he ends up smoking or drinking later on that day. He started smoking at the age of 10 when his parents passes away, he knows it’s really bad but he can’t seem to stop. How can I help him and/or motivate him to stop without making him go to rehab or something?

I’ve been smoking a lot of cigarettes and EVERY time after the feeling is gone, I feel this nasty crash afterwards and I feel like shit. But every time I see one, I want one. I cant stand cigs but yet I always have that urge and it sucks cuz I usually give in and I feel that stupid crash that I haaate. I’ve been smoking for a year or so and for a month I’ve been saying I’m gonna stop but that urge is there. What do I do!? I don’t want to be addicted, more than I am now… :\

I am 18 and have been smoking since i was a young teen. I have really pretty teeth and brush constantly to keep the effects of smoking off of them,some people don’t even know i smoke. But taking care of my teeth this much is starting to be a pain. I already tried to quit and it made me gain alot of wait because i replaced the cigarettes with food. Any tips on how to stop completely?

I HAVE to stop smoking….please help me?

I am 33. Have 2 children 6 and 3….and am expecting our third. Am 7 weeks gone.
I stopped for 5 years and then my Grandfather became terminally ill. I cared for him 24/7 for the last 4 mths of his life and didn’t smoke and when he died on Boxing Day last year I started again….little by little…it’s built up and for the last 3 days I have had 2 a day but for the week before that I went up to 10 a day.
I don’t want to smoke but I can’t lie and say I don’t enjoy it. I don’t like everything that goes with it though…the smell, the taste, the secrecy, the guilt, the fear etc etc.
I have been trying to stop for 3 months and got an Inhalator from the docs but it’s not the same.
This morning I reached breaking point and promised my husband that ‘on our childrens life’ that was my last cigarette and then this evening I have had 2 half cigarettes.
I am devestated and afraid.
I know it’s about will power and the ‘want’ to stop and I know it is only me that can do it but I’m frightened I can’t.
Any help and advice that helped you to stop, anything at all, I would massively appreciate.
Please, I am desperate
Thanks Bx

I asked for help and advice….not out and out abuse.
You can see that I am asking for help. You know nothing about me….for the record I have a !st from Cambridge UK.
I am not ignorant about the second hand smoke issue. I am very concious of it. I smoke outside when it will be at least 2 and a half hours before I see my ‘born’ children again so that the toxins I have been breathing out will have dimished. After have had a cigerette, I put the clothes that I have been wearing straight into the wash inc underwear. I wash my hair and hands with a scubbing brush which makes my fingers bleed. I am not a selfish person. I am a person who has been through a personal tragedy that put me back on that road.
Stop with the insults and vile comments.
Constructive critisim is welcome but not abuse….I will report it.
I can’t give thumbs up or down but have reported 2 of you for abusive content and want to thank the three of you who have given me advice and constructive criticism Bx
The Emrod: You are totally right. Thank you Bx

I’m trying to help and support my sister in her attempt to stop smoking. Each time she’s tried, she ends up gaining weight, and with a lifestyle quite stressful, she returned to cigarettes.

If anyone has any good information about online support groups, messageboards, or an easy way to talk with others in the same boat, I think it might help her.

She’s a beautiful person and been there for me a lot, but I don’t know how to help her do this. She’s a great wife and mother, (never smokes in the house or car around the kids) and unlike many who smoke WANTS to quit.
Those things are so addictive. She knows how harmful it is, and feels so stupid for smoking, which then makes her depressed.

She had some success with the patch, so is starting that and Weight Watchers, and an excercise group she enjoys.

She lives in a small town, and will attend WW meetings, but it doesn’t seem enough support to get through such a tough struggle.
Thanks for any help.

Have you used the e-cigarettes to help stop smoking? Did it work? Are they really any safer? What is the best one to try? Thanks.

I would like anyone who has succeeded in stopping smoking to help me out. I have tried and failed miserably twice. I dont want to use patched and i have tried every nicorette solution out there. Everytime i get stressed out (I have 2 Kids) I need to light a cigarette to make myself calm down. I have limited myself to 10 cigarettes a day (I used to smoke 20) Any suggestions on how i can stop and not to think about cigarettes?

My parents have been smoking for years. I have asthma and I have a 3 year old little brother. My parents try not to smoke around us and used to smoke out of our chimney in the winter. But now we just moved into a new house, and there is no fireplace so they just smoke in the house. They Can’t afford to use those quit smoking programs and buying cigarettes 3 times a day doesn’t help. They are truly amazing people, but smoking isn’t really making a good influence on others esapecially my brother and I. How can I get them to stop smoking?

my mother smokes like 30 cigarettes a day and it is really scaring me. i am afraid she is going to get lung cancer or something. i have been trying to get her to stop for years now, but she keeps saying, Alexis it is none of your business of what i do with a cigarette. i need help immediatley. plz help i am getting really scared.sometimes while she is smoking she will start coughing really hard like she is choking. plz help. i don’t want my mother to get cancer, die, or anything else bad about smoking.

My boyfriend smokes. I hate it. Aside from being absolutely disgusting, it’s bad for his health. He’s only 19. I’ve made comments about it and even hid his lighters and cigarettes. But, he just gets upset with me. I love him to death and don’t want to start an argument over it but I don’t want to see him get sick, either. Help!
I don’t nag him. I just hide his stuff as a joke. I still don’t like it but I love him and won’t break up with him because of it.

I smoke 1-3 cigarettes a day. I’m deciding to stop because I heard that if you smoke it can make it hard for you to lose weight even if you exercise 5 days a week. Is this true?

My best friend is 14 (I’m 15) and she smokes pot and cigarettes. I really want to help her even though she says "You can try but I’m really hooked." I also have another friend who does pot and I want to help her too.I don’t do that stuff and don’t think I ever would. I really just want to help them kick this horrible Habit…

The recently passed SCHIP bill in the house funds the additional spending through higher taxes on cigarettes and tobacco products. But the bailout now has about Million for stop smoking programs. If they are trying to raise money for SCHIP using tobacco revenue, why are they trying to get people to quit in the bailout?

I have smoked for about 6 years and think they cause my headaches. is there something i can do to try and stop smoking? without electric cigarettes, gum, ect.

He smokes about 4-6 (possibly even more) cigars per day. I’m just really concerned about his health. How can I get him to stop? By the way once I tried to hide his cigarettes but then he got really mad.

He has been smoking since he was 13 and just turned 44!!!!! He doesn’t look too good either. He smells like cigarettes and his teeth are yellow. HELP ME!! :_(

My mom told me she quit smoking but I know she hasn’t. she smells like smoke and keeps cigarettes in her purse. I always tell her the dangers of smoking without actually telling her to quit smoking. She says she knows but she keeps smoking. Three people in our family have had breast cancer and I’m afraid she might kill herself. I care more then she does. How can I get her to stop?

*Please do not judge me because I smoke weed, but if you have any information, or helpful advice please give it to me *

Okay, first off, I am 16 1/2 years old. I have been in some trouble in the past 2-5 years .. i smoke cigarettes, weed, and drink alcohol. My parents have accepted that I smoke cigarettes and usually buy them for me, some people dont agree with that, but I have more than half of my friends being over 18, and my parents smoked when they were younger and know how addictive it is. With the whole marijuana thing, weed relaxes me, and takes alot, and i mean alot, of stress away. I have never been caught by the police with weed, and im not saying it couldnt happen, but I am a respectful weed smoker and mostly will smoke a little bit before bed, or in the morning, etc., but I am never high to the point my personality changes. My close friend just got murdered 2 weeks ago, my cousin died in a car crash in June 2009, my grandma died when I was 6, my great grandma died when I was 12, and my grandpa has cancer as of right now is expected to live no more than 3 months. I try and block everything out but Its hard. I believe weed should be legal, and i dont want treatment for weed because I do not feel I have a problem. My parents apparently talked to my therapist about it (I have ADHD & ODD – ODD is oppositional defiancy disorder). My therapist is very highly rated and she told my parents I didnt want to agree to treatment. I guess it would be random urine tests, etc., until I stop or something like that. My therapist told my parents I have 2 options, the easy and the hard. Either I go to her, or she is going to help them to get me in with the court. Apparently the court would test more often and possibly (probably) either have me put into a rehab or a nonpermanent home. I am going to try and work around the whole ordeal all together but I don’t feel as if I am being given ANY rights as an american citizen. I did not harm anybody, yet I may have to be put into a rehab, or taken from my home just because I smoke weed every once in a while?? What are my rights? Also, I have trust problems.. to the fullest, how is my therapist helping AT ALL by attempting to MAKE me go here, and behind my back telling my parents things they can do to basically screw me over. I reallly really need help. You can e-mail me at : thr0wdhabzuhp@yahoo.com , but I prefer answers here. I don’t even want to go to this therapist, but basically my parents are threatning that either I go to her or I am being put into a home.

Please, please help !

by the way – nobody knows me, thank you to the people who didnt judge me, but i have been through WAY WAY WAY more than death in my life. lol. i watched my cousin overdose on heroine when i was 8 years old. ive been raped. the whole bit. but im not saying my life is hard, NOT ONE TIME did i say my life is hard, people will always have it worse. but that doesnt mean i dont have it bad :/ . and i have alot of problems, but when i smoke weed, i am nicer, and i care more. when i dont smoke weed, i am depressed, and really really anger and dont want to take my medication.
oh and to the CKUNT that said oppositional defiancy order is a joke, bxtch, i didnt diagnose myself. i got diagnosed and forced to go the this therapist. i hope i never see you in my life cause it will not be pretty, no threat intended
