He is 58 now and he is too unhealthy. He might have emphysema, he has an enlarged heart, horrible lungs, and a bunch of other stuff because he smokes.

What can I do to help him quit? He smokes around 2 packs per day and says it’s impossible for him to quit, but he needs to or he’s gonna die.

Im Curious to know long it takes before everything is back to normal in my lungs. I don’t smoke cigs i smoke the greens and I am going to stop because my lungs hurt from too many years.

I quit smoking about 3-4 weeks ago, and I keep coughing up brown/black stuff. Will this eventually stop? Will my lungs clean themselves back to a better condition after a while?
Everyone, thanks!

I’ve tried talking to them and telling them that they will get lung cancer but they won;t listen, they are convinced that smoking weed is better for you than drinking alcohol, they think that a bad liver is worse than bad lungs i don’t know how to get through to them please help

I’ve been hooked on Nicotine for about 2 years now, and im 17-1/2 years of age. Ive tried numerous methods and ways, but somehow my mind keeps giving into the cravings. Sometimes i like to play guitar just to keep my mind off smoking, but after a half hour or so, i give it up and go right for the cigarettes. In my mind, im saying "gotta have a smoke.", but in reality, all its doing is torturing me and my lungs, and my entire body. SOMEONE HELP ME FOR THE SAKE OF MY REALITY CHECK AND RELATIONSHIP WISE!

I’m trying to find out if the electric cigarette is a good way to stop smoking? Is it harmful also? I know it has nicotine but so does the other alternatives, gum, inhalers, patches,and so on. I thought this would be the ticket but some of my friends are saying this is worse because your putting water into your lungs. Does anyone know if this is true or not?

Ok I am 24 years old I started smoking weed at 10 and cigs at 12 about 2 packs a day. My father and his family has been smoking cigs around me since I came into this world so no one really ever caught on till I was about 20 when I started smoking in front of them. I have my marijuana license for anxiety (I was in a very abusive relationship for 4 years and was raped last year and I have Bi-Polarizm other medications have not been able to help me function as well as marijuana has). I have no plans in stopping that so please no lectures. However I want to be done with smoking cigs for good. I stopped about 2 years ago for 6 months when I got a horrible lung infection without any cravings or anything. I started again actually be shear accident. A friend of mine (who I actually got started smoking) came to visit me from my hometown we were in the car on our way to a bar and just handed me a cig and not thinking I smoked it. It was completely by accident we just were having a good time and got back into old habits. So i smoked another one and another and well you get the picture. I know it was stupid but really I thought that it didn’t matter at first. I have gone days and a few times weeks without smoking (no money does that to you) no cravings no agitation. I just don’t think and buy a pack when I had money go without when I don’t. Now I just got back from the doctor and he told me my lungs are of a 80 year old and my heart has been affected by smoking (I had no clue that smoking causes heart problems I thought it just screwed with your lungs). I have asthma and with family history of cancer, heart problems, and emphysema (i hope i spelled that correct) on both sides I want to be done with them for good. I really do enjoy smoking. My favorite thing to do is kick it with my friends in my garage smoking and talking and just relaxing. It is just a very mellow thing for us to do. I know this sounds stupid but I am not sure what to do if I don’t smoke. I actually get lost if I drive without cigs (I measure everything by how many cigs it takes to get to places). I am not like most smokers I can go to the movies without having to step outside for one, when I am around non smokers I usually go without (unless I am around to many people then it is my security "blanket"). I don’t want to takes any patches or drugs cause all they do is help with the cravings. I don’t get cravings, it is just the action of smoking I need to quit. Does anyone have any ideas on what i can "replace" smoking with. I am on day 2 of no smoking and really am doing good but I was good before and without thinking I bought a pack. I don’t need lectures or people saying just don’t buy them because everyone in my house smokes and I feel left out now. I truly don’t want to smoke anymore so please help if you can. Thank you

Hi, I have been smoking for about 6-7 months now, and I just found out that my sport made it into the 2016 Olympics. I was wondering if my lungs would regenerate by that time, as I would like to make it into the Olympics?
I am 17 years old, been smoking about 10 – 15 a day.

I just quit smoking (actually haven’t smoked in just over a week now) and I want to help my lungs repair quicker. I am in the stages of coughing up tons of mucus and it sucks, but I know its just a sign of healing. What can I do to speed up or aid this process?

I know smoking tabacco is bad and I’m trying to quit. I just wanted to know if I quit and then have a relapse, am I doing worse damage to my lungs because they’ve had some time to heal and then I go traumatize them again?

So i quit smoking a month ago. People say they cough stuff up after they quit and that is the lungs cleaning themselves out. Well i haven’t coughed up anything until very recently and its like white/grayish/yellow. I really dont know how to describe it. Is that a bad color? Or is it normal? Has this happened to anyone else? How do you know if the color is normal or not?

I have recently quit smoking. (I smoked heavily for 11 yrs.) It’s been about a week, and I can NOT stop coughing. I assume my lungs are just healing from the previous smoking. How long does this horrible coughing last?

I am male 55 and smoking since last 35 years, now almost 15 cigarettes a day. Yes i am adicted, no doubt about it …

What should i do to quit smoking? i tried many a times but failed … only a smoker can understand how difficult it is to quit, so expect some answer from people who already have quit smoking …
I NEED YOUR HELP PLEASE … don’t say ‘just quit’ … it does not work, as i don’t have that strong will power & nicotine is now in my blood

She doesn’t smoke very often and had actually quit for quite a while but she recently started again and it really hurts me when she does because my father has emphysema and has a spot on his lungs from smoking and I’ve had to watch him suffer for quite a while, but they’re addicting and I know it’s very difficult to stop. I was just wondering if there is a sure fire way to stop once and for all.

My dad has been smoking for more than 30 yrs. Now a mass was found in his lungs. If this is cancer, should he stop smoking abruptly? I heard that if you stop smoking abruptly, then there is a bigger chance of developing cancer. Can anybody confirm this. Is quitting gradually more advisable? Thanks

The back of my lungs ache,is it possible to retain oxygen and still have COPD. If so why do I get really short of breathe, doing hardly anything?? I am on oxygen 24/7

The disease attacks your lungs and air ways.

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

well my sister smokes(like a chimney!)and i love her dearly i would just die if anything happened to her(no joke)so i know smoking is really bad for you and stuff because it damages your lungs and so,but she just won’t listen to me what can i do/say to convince her to stop smoking?!?!

thanks in advance and happy new year!

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
