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

Okay, i am an 18 year old senior in High School about to graduate.

For the last 6 years or so I have had self-coscience problems.
And for the last 3 years, I have had serious anxiety and depressive symptoms.

With that said… my last year has been very shitty, aside from my mental health issues
i have undergone heart break, panic attacks, severe bullying, and hav gone from medicine
to medicine to try to help. So this last year has been awful to me.

So, last summer I tried pot for the first time (this was right after my heart break)
since then I really haven’t been able to stop, for the last 7 months or so, i’ve sort of
used it to neglect my pain.

Now I am trying to quit and every time I stop I become incredibly depressed!!

So what should I do. Completely quit? Does it get better after a few days?
Please answer and thanks for reading.

I’m wondering if my fatigue I’ve been having these last few days is because I stopped smoking on Monday. Did anyone else have weird physical symptoms after they quit?

she does not believe she can do it but i encourage her everyday. she quit for a few days but hid it from me for a week. i have been searching all over the internet for ways to quit. its really hard for her cause she is finishing school, just got a new job, we are trying to move in together, so she is very stressed and on top of that everybody in her family smokes around her and just leaves packs around the house which is very tempting. i would do anything to get her to kick this habit.

I’ve been smoking a pack of cigarettes for 8 years now. At the moment, I am cigarette free for 3 days and 11 hours. This is the first time that I try to quit smoking.
So, I have a few questions…
Is it better to stop smoking and use nicotine patches, or discard any form of nicotine replacements?
I’ve been wearing nicotine patches during the day for the first two days, I took the patch off yesterday afternoon and this morning I took it off an hour after I put it on.
Initially, I was thinking of solving my psychological addiction first, and then the physical one (by using 15 mg nicotine patches for a couple of weeks, then 10 mg, and lastly 5 mg).
Oh, by the way… I’ve been feeling a bit slow and weak for the last 24 hours or so, probably from the nicotine withdrawal, but should I just be patient and endure this for a few days, or go to my original idea of gradually decreasing the nicotine intake?
I actually don’t crave a cigarette that much. I can drink coffee without craving, I can have a drink with my friends who are smokers without craving, I don’t have that strange feeling of not knowing what to do with my hands, etc.
But I was just wondering whether to take nicotine replacement or not.
Btw, I’ve just realized that 15 mg dosage is way too much for me because a pack of my cigarette brand contains 12 mg, so I’ll try with the 10 mg patch instead.

I met my friend a few days ago and he told me about how he smokes and he has smokes like 20 ciggarettes his parents r both deaf and he tells me he steals them from his dad he says he smokes because he feels bad for what he does to people and he wants to punish himself and he’s sad cus his ex ran away and has been gone for 4 months because he broke up with her I need to give him advice on how to stop plz help!

I want to quit smoking. I’ve tried several times before but the longest I’ve ever lasted was 1 week. My husband has agreed to quit with me but the last time we tried that we nearly killed each other. I know there is no easy way but some tips would be appreciated. How did you manage to quit? I know the nicotine is out of your system in just a few days but does the desire to smoke ever go away?

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?

I’ve been smoking for 13 years now and really want to stop but have no willpower at all. I got Champix from the doctor but have read so many bad things abut them i have not taken them. I used the patches for a few days but came out in big red marks where they had been. I really want to stop but just don’t know what to do. Can anyone help??

I am 24yrs old and have smoked for 10 yrs. I have managed to cut down to 5 a day mainly because i have a baby and am limited to when i can go and have a sneaky one. I want to quit because i have a wheeze on my chest which scares me and i want to be around to see lil one grow up.
You’d think this would be enough alone to make me stop but the evil weed has me hooked.I can go cold turkey for a few days until i get a bad temper and get aggitated,stressed out resulting in me giving in.
The patches give me migraines and make me feel light headed.I don’t fancy the gum.So how does hypnosis work in helping to stop me smoking? and has anyone had any success with it?
Or any other helpful tips on quitting would be great!
