I’m pregnant and I need to stop smoking I smoke like half a. Pack a day I need your help desperately

I have been prescribed lexapro and ativan from my doctor for a depression/anxiety issue. The medication is working well I think. I smoke about a pack a day and really want to quit. I can’t do it on my own. I tried many times. Has anyone stopped smoking while on these meds? Does ativan help reduce nicotine fits?

I smoke a pack a day at least and whenever I hear one of those commercials to stop smoking I need a cigarette … even when they’re telling me I’m going to die if I don’t quit.

I smoke about a pack a day and I know I need to quit. I want to quit, I’m tired of feeding my habit and it’s getting more and more expensive. I’ve tried to quit a few times in the past and failed. For those of you who have successfully stopped smoking, how did you do it? How do you stay smoke-free? What are your tips and suggestions on the first step in the process?

Thanks in advance for your help.
Monica, you hit on my biggest problem, boredom. I smoke most when I’m bored or stressed.

Thanks to the people who offered real answers.

If it were as easy as just not smoking, I’d have done it by now. I hope you guys don’t work with the public.
Which part of "I’m trying to quit smoking" can be taken as please preach to me? I realize this isn’t a medical help line, but for the love of Pete, leave your preaching out of questions like this one. It has nothing to do with religion. Just so you know, I’ve asked Yahoo to remove your sermon.
Well pardon the holy hell out of me for not wanting a sermon in response to a question that doesn’t require one. This is not a religious issue, it’s a health issue. I keep my religion and my health separate. I also don’t like people following me around Yahoo preaching to me.

ive been smoking for about 4 years and need to stop. i smoked about a 1/2 a pack a day. so is it better to quit cold turkey or ween off them? how long dose the hardest part last? if you know of any tips that worked for you please let me know.

I am 20 years old and i have been a pack a day smoker for 6 years

I am bound and determined to quit smoking, it’s been two days since I’ve had a smoke. I used to smoke a pack a day. I went cold turkey, and am using nicotine gum But the cravings are still really strong to smoke. I know individual experience will vary, but how long did it take for your really bad cravings to go away?

I gave Up Ciggs in 1998 after being a pack a day smoker for years and now for a 1 year I have been smoking and want to quite. last time i did it cold turkey.
Cold Turkey Is not Working This Time
Stress Levels are Way higher then Last Time By 100%

I’m a 3 1/2 year smoking i smoke anywhere from a 1/2 pack to a full pack a day, depends on stress level. I want to quit but don’t believe I can do cold turkey. Just wondering what way I should go that will actually work!

About 6 years ago my dad had a stroke due to his excessive smoking. After that he went cold turkey and quit ever since. It was only recently that he started smoking again because he broke up with his new girl friend. He smokes about a pack a day and I’m really worried about his health. So if you have any ideas that would be great.

So my husband has smoked about a pack a day for years now, and he is trying to quit smoking cold turkey. Does anyone have any tips on what he can eat or drink to quit the craving when he gets one? Does peppermint or Cinnamon stop cravings and does sugar make you crave more? please any help? thanks.

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?

My fiance has been smoking on and off for probably 15 years. He’s successfully quit a few times, only to eventually end up smoking again. He smokes about half a pack a day right now. He knows how much I can’t stand it because I don’t want to lose him to cancer or heart disease in 20 years, but this doesn’t seem to deter him enough. He wants to stop, or at least he says so, and he has tried the gum and the lozenges with a little success, but he doesn’t seem completely motivated (sometimes he’ll choose the cigarette over the lozenge, for example). What can I do to help him stop for good? Do you have any ideas, or ways that you’ve helped someone stop smoking?
He hates fixing stuff up around the house, unless it’s a comuputer heh… but I could keep his hands busy with a video game.. thanks for the idea.

I think he also likes the social aspect of smoking, which is an even harder thing to break imo…
