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

I see in Scotland they are planning to pay smokers £12-50 a week to quite smoking?
Well, is this right?
And where is this money coming from? Non-smoking tax-payers!
Has the world gone crazy. Have the authorities too much money to throw away?

So why aren`t the tobacco companies paying this money?
If the world HAS gone crazy, they might just as well.

drives off belching diesel fumes in your face – what about banning their cars?
smokers were an easy target but go near drivers and they will soon be screaming ‘they’re abusing my civil rights’

I haven’t had one today yet, but would really enjoy…. Thought I had a doctor’s appointment this morning but made a mistake, it’s this afternoon. Didn’t have one earlier cos I thought she might smell it and not be impressed (But I do want to give up and they are not agreeing with me at all at present). Friends coming to visit at weekend who are non-smokers, so it would be easier to have quit. Have quit so many times, read Alan Carr, did smoking cessation …..

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!

Ive been smoking marijuana for about 5 yrs. but it didnt get to be an every-day habbit until about 2 years ago. I wanna stop smoking mainly for health reasons and also im looking for a good job. What seems to be the most effective to stop smoking? Im looking for answers from former smokers (former pot-heads). Thanks.

All I seem to hear about is why people should pack up smoking. Well if that is the case, why do the Government not make all Quit Smoking Aids FREE from Pharmacies. Junkies can get Needles Free, Why Not Patches/Gum for Smokers.

To TOECEE where do you Live??? Not Free at my Doctors I asked.

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.
