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

I want to be supportive of my husband while he quits smoking. He’s been a heavy smoker for seven years and he’s ready to quit. He’s been so excited while cutting back, making lists of all of the positive reasons for quitting. Also, he’s got a perscirption for the pills that help him to quit smoking.

Ive only been smoking for two years, and I would like to quit… its very hard to stop this nasty habit, Anyone have any suggestions/methods on how to quite without quitting cold turkey, or using the patch? Its way to expensive for me…
But smoking has become my biggest addiction. Im tired of spending the money on cigarrettes and polluting my body…also what can I do to get my husband to stop smoking or atleast stop smoking around me once I quit because he is hard headed..because I know if he smokes it will be to easy to give in to temptation…
why is everyone so harsh about smoking its not like Im announcing Im a smoker and Im proud that I hurt my body… I know I cant make my husband stop smoking but it would be nice to give me some suggestions on how to talk to him about not smoking around me or something like that. Non smokers get very angry at this type of question, I know what it does to my body and my teeth and thats one of the biggest reasons I want to quit. It just seems rude to judge someone when they are trying to better themselves
I do appreciate the help, I just dont understand why people are using my question to harp at me about smoking when I want to stop, but for those of you who have offered some good advice I do appreciate it thanks

I’m not a heavy smoker, I only smoke about 5 a day, but I still feel the addiction and I want and need to quit completely.

What is the most effective/successful way to quit smoking? I’ve been cutting down little by little. Is that the best way or should I just quit cold turkey and force myself to not smoke through sheer willpower?
I don’t use the patch or gum because I don’t believe in using crutches like that.

I have smoked for 14 years and am trying again to quit cold turkey. This is the hardest thing in my life. Anyone ever quit smoking successfully? How is life now for you as a non smoker? Need advice! Thanks!

We inherited a chair from my husbands grandmother who was a VERY heavy smoker.(About 40 a day for 60 years!) How do I get the smell of stale smoke out of the chair? Please help!
Thanks.

Someone i know does lot of excercise, jogs in the mornings, evenings but is also a smoker, but he is not losing weight, is it true smoking stops you from losing weight? cuz i cant think of any other reason why this mate is not losing weight, he doesnt even eat fattie food, but looks like the excercise is a waste if one smokes, true?

How many times did it take for you to quit if you could do it? If you have not been able to, then why not?
"True" its obvious that you were never a smoker. Thus, your opinion counts for nothing.

I am a heavy smoker. two pack per day. I am in the cooper clayton smoking censation class, but still smoking. I have the patches, but due to anxiety, and stress, I haven’t been able to progress. I did stop smoking the first time I was in this class. Only to start back after 4 months. I feel like such a failure. I feel I am weak, stupid, and letting the others down in my class, low self esteem. I am considering theapy, but wondering if anyone anyplace has any suggestions that might help me kick the habit. My Dr. has told me numerous times I have to quit smoking. I have asathma, broncities and other breathing conditions. Is it the power over smoking that I can’t give up? I am not an ignorant person. I no, the risk here..then why do I keep smoking?
There has to be others out there that smoke, and have sucessfully quite. If anyone has an suggestions, I would like to have your in put. This is scaring me.

When I first started the filfthy habit when i was about 14 and 15 i said i’d stop by the time i was 25. well that b’day has just passed and i had given up for periods of months on end. Now i am just a smoker when i get drunk. Which aint that bad.

However, With the no smoking in public starting next year in England, just wondered how many were stopping smoking beforehand or waiting for the ban or who will carry on regardless.

My granmother wants to smoke and is slowly killing herself which is tearing my mother up. So my mom yells at my gran, who gives in and has cut down the smoking dramatically. My gran is sick with COPD and can barely breathe.

I am a smoker who is trying to quit but when I am around my gran wants to smoke more. So everyone wants me to yell at her not to smoke but I don’t even like yelling. I have tried talking with her as an adult but there is real langauge barriers.

So whats the right choice?

my father has copd, which is the lung disease from being a smoker. I don’t know what this medication is doing to him or for him, would like to know more about it. He also has a heart condition, which was found after the copd. Can you tell me what it is doing for him?

I was wondering not because i’m a smoker but because i was told this by someone who did stop smoking and did put on weight is the change in metabolism the cause of putting on weight or is it merely because you start eating more? 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.

My mother has been a heavy smoker for over 30 years and has emphysema and stopped smoking 3 years ago. A couple days ago she got very ill and lethargic and was turning blue so we rushed her to the hospital and it turns out she has advanced COPD and they have her on a ventilator to breathe. My question is how long can someone live after being diagnosed with COPD? She is 58 years old and i’m so afraid she won’t come home from the hospital.

I started a new job a month ago. I was so happy because I finally got decent pay and health insurance. Unfortunately, this was too good to be true. One of my coworkers smokes in the office. I have asthma and am allergic to cigarette smoke. Everytime she lights one up, I start smothering. I told my boss in person about my health condition and all he said he’d do is put up automatic door closers on the doors around her (she smokes in the doorway of the building so she can stay by the phone). Well, about 2 or 3 weeks went by, and he’d still not put anything up. I decided to email him and tell him again. I asked him if he could ban smoking indoors completely. Well, finally he decides to put those automatic door closers on there. But guess what, she props her door open! It’s terrible!

Anyway, have any of you dealt with smokers at work. How do you get someone to stop. The bad thing is, my boss is a smoker too! So he doesn’t care! If they don’t stop, I’m going to have to find another job!
Well, about speaking to her directly. She can be very mean. She was very ugly to me at first, and then someone talked to her for me, and now she’s nice. I don’t know how she’d react if I told her to stop.
The reason she smokes in the doorway is because she’s a dispatcher. If she goes outside completely, she’ll miss a call or something on the radio.
I did talk to my boss. He’s a smoker as well and does not care about my condition. Also, if I cause a big stink about this, everyone is going to dislike me because the majority of people there seem to smoke. The other non-smokers are medics and get to get away. I’m an office person and always have to be there. Eh, it sucks.
