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

How long after you quit smoking will it show up in blood or urine test? I quit smoking for almost 2 yrs and then smoked cigarettes for a couple weeks and now quit again.

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 am having surgery on January 9th, I literally have to completely quit tomorrow. I am on the patch, but I keep cheating and taking one or two puffs every few hours. It only totals to maybe 2 cigarettes a day, but I need to be completely smoke free to go under the anesthesia. I know its easy to say, just don’t do it, but I feel like I have no control, no willpower, no anything! I have been smoking 2 packs a day for 17 years. Do I have a chance?

Hi, I am 16 years old.

I’ve been smoking for three years, probably 17 cigarettes a day. If I quit smoking now, can I still die from lung cancer in the future?

(I’m planning on quitting right now because I can’t stand smoking anymore, it sucks)

Please help

When someone wants to quit smoking, what would you reccommend they do? Maybe start out by cutting back or something else? (I’m curious, because my boyfriend says he wants to quit, but that he thinks it’s best he slowly cuts back on cigarettes per day.)

My brand of cigarettes just went up .00 a carton and will go up another .20 April 1st for the new tax. I am done with cigarettes! Have a doctor’s appointment to get Chantix.

Besides why should I as a smoker pay for someone else’s child health care? I take care of my own already.

If more people quit smoking how will they pay for the enormous cost?

Ok people i’m not talking about Cigarettes i’m talking about Marijuana, I wanna quit smoking it. I know it is or might be hard but whatever, give me some answers ppl plz & thanx

I will not eat more than I usually do when I quit smoking. But I know my body will no longer spend calories to detoxify itself from the cigarettes – so I might gain weight. (right?)

How can I stop it?

I really need and want to quit. I was looking for some success stories and what worked for people who quit smoking. So many choices, RX, the patch, cold turkey…any advice?
Cigarettes

I sort of unconsciously picked up smoking during a stressful point in my life, and I realize now that it’s stupid and I’ve gotten rid of my cigarettes and I’m starting tomorrow to quit. During this past month I’ve smoked somewhere between 5 and 7 cigarettes a day. I have never felt addicted, necessarily, but I know I could be once I stop. I’m just wondering how hard it’s going to be, and how long the crappy feelings are going to last. Basically, I need some motivation and reassurance.

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.

I had a baby in October 2008. I didn’t smoke while pregnant. I have found myself smoking 1-5 cigarettes a day and can’t seem to quit..Any tips for quitting completely?

I really want to stop smoking before it takes a toll on me in any way. I hate the smell of cigarettes on my clothes and the transfer from my sheets to my bedding. We don’t smoke in our home except the bathroom. The main problem is I’ve tried to quit before (I smoke half a pack a day) but my DH smokes two packs a day and when he smokes when he gets home it makes it hard for me to quit. What do I do and/or what’s the best way to quit?

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.

Will I ever get cigarettes out of my head!
Im so jealous oddball59

He’s 17 years old. He started smoking over the summer to lose weight, and now he’s addicted and can’t stop. He says he wants to stop, and I want to help him. Getting rid of all cigarettes in his house isn’t an option because both his parents smoke. (I’m not sure whether or not they allow him to do it.) I don’t live near him; I only see him during holidays. What can I say to him or do for him to help him break the habit?

I need to quit. I know its a bad habit and I should stop. I am only 17 years old.I’ve been smoking for only like 7 months. What are some ways or tips that can help me stop? I want to go to my doctor but I don’t want my parents to find out..I need help..STUPID CIGARETTES ARE EFFECTING MY LIFE.

Please no stupid comments.Thanks

I hear tell that when you smoke a cigar you don’t inhale the smoke into your lungs, just your mouth, therefore would I be right in thinking this makes them ‘healthier’ (comparatively) than cigarettes?
Your concern is touching everyone, but I only smoke occassionally and really can and do stop whenever I feel like it. I thought I might try a cigar or two to see what the fuss is about

Everyday they smoke and everytime they do, i tell them to quit. But they just ignore me or push me aside and say something along the lines of ‘dont worry, just leave me alone and i’ll quit’ BUT THEY SAID THAT YEARS AGO!

They cant stop smoking and after tons of learning about cigarettes in health class, im always scared! Im not the type of person to tell my parents that i cry at night about it (i dont) and stuff.

Thier too addicted, it kills thier lungs and thier wallets.

How can i stop them? One time i tried telling them to stop smoking but they just yell at me and send me to my room or something. Its bugging me ALOT.
They usually go out for a smoke whenever they can (commercial breaks) but they have a habit of ging after they eat.

My parents started smoking when they were really young (14 etc) and now thier 30 ish.
but… its hurting me so bad… i cant stand it

I don’t want to substitute one drug for another (chantix, etc), but I’m really desperate to stop today! I’ve cut back dramatically, but it seems like when my heart rate is elevated from exercise or stress, I get a terrible craving for cigarettes. The same thing happens when I have conversations with other people, or if I see or smell someone else smoking.

Any advice from former smokers will help.. Thanks!

I’ve smoked so many cigarettes in my life-I’m finding it very difficult to stop!The thing is,I know it’ll kill me if I don’t stop,due to the amount of fags I smoke!
I’m 34 years old,I’m worried I could develop cancer in my 40′s or 50′s if I don’t stop now-been a smoker since high school.

He’s been smoking since he was 12, diagnosed with COPD a few months ago, smokes 4 to 8 cigarettes a day (according to him), has asthma to boot.

My grandfather said that cigarettes are for street urchins, and that real men smoke pipes.

I have been having a stinging feeling in the right lung area, i do smoke about five cigarettes a day and i used to smoke alot of marijuana. I say to myself that nothing could really be wrong if i can withstand a four mile run, and half a mile swim, plus stationary bycyle almost daily. I had a chest xray last year which showed no disease. Would i have this kind of cardiovascular endurance and still have lung cancer or lung disease caused by smoking?

My husband is 43 yrs old and has had COPD for the last 4 or 5 yrs. His estimated age of lungs is 126 yrs. He’s still smoking. How long can he live with that?
My husband has got COPD and he wont quit those damn cigarettes!
He’s got the estimated lung age of 126 yrs, he’s on advair but not on oxygen yet. He’s 43 yrs old, and has had COPD for about 4 yrs. How long do you think he could live?
