Hi. I'm just curious in people's opinions of something. I am an ex smoker. No longer have the habit. My child's daycare have been taught that smoking kills people etc.. so move away from people if they're smoking. A lot of parents from the daycare have come in abusing the child care Centre as they're smokers and there young children keep telling them they're going to die.
I'm sure your doctor told you that quitting smoking will help with your stomach in the long run, and that's why you're posting this right?
The emotional ups and downs of quitting should have your stomach more in a knot than what it is now.
Now that you don't smoke so many more doors have opened up for you, but that alone doesn't "cure" UC... A good diet, lots of exercise, and mental/emotional stability are key with keeping UC under control.
Hold in there.
I quit cold turkey and I use to chain smoke I'm 11 weeks now and feel better ^^^
m not a smoker but, When my mom quit smoking she did what my grandpa always said to do If you have a sore throat. It sounds nasty but my mom says works! And I know it works for a sore throat. You drink a tablespoon of vinegar and then right after a tablespoon of honey then drink plenty of water. The vinegar kills bacteria in your throat while the honey soothes it. Hope this helps!!
I tried everything to quit smoking and finally did at 22 weeks. im now 26w3d and its so nice to say i quit. I tried everything to quit and i guess after my ultrasound it hit me that i really needed to try n quit once n fer all not just fer a day or two. I ended up quiting cold turkey and asked for my husbands help. He smokes. I wouldnt have any lighters cigs or money to buy em around the house and picked up a new habit. Going on walks....im here fer u if u need someone to talk to. Thatll help.
I smoked for 2 years. I know not a long time but this is how I quit. Ok I started just smoking half then I'd go down to a half of a half. I also chewed gum everytime id get an urge. And I wouldn't smoke that first one in the mornings. Id wait as long as I could then smoke. You could try eating sunflower seeds too. Hope that helps.
Good luck!

I have been so uncomfortable at times I checked a chart on the internet that showed information week by week on what happens to your body after you quit smoking. I understand the weight gain, you must exercise and get a better diet or the weight gain will continue as your metabolism slows quite a bit. Good luck and thanks for sticking to not smoking.
Hi Nirban
I smoked when I was younger too. Here in the USA, we have a patch. That helps. Dr can prescribe zyban & that's supposed to help too.
When I quit, I did not use that stuff though. This is what I did. I bought some straws. Then I cut them to the length of a cigarette. I took them with me, so when I felt like smoking I'd hold a straw like a cigarette. I'd even puff or draw
a breath on the straw. Helped to relax me. I'd have something to do with my hand too.
I started smoking when I was about 10, quit when I was 50. Got a carton for my 13th birthday. One of the 50 times I quit smoking I was sitting there wearing a patch on each arm, chewing a piece of Nicorette, puffing on a Marlboro all at the same time. It's rough!! It finally took. What bothered me the most at first was people smoking, but I made an oath that I would never be a reformed smoker that looks down their nose at smokers. One of the times I failed we went to the Casino.
10 a day is kind of allot, either way it's good you cut down if you were smoking more!! Ugh i quit during my 5th month I'm not proud if how long it took me to quit, I'm pretty sure only way to do it us to quit cold turkey...
I quit smoking 5 days ago and I am feeling like my breathing is somewhat shallow. Also, my lungs feel like they are being squeezed, I dont really know any other way to describe it. Also, in my upper back area, pretty much opposite my lungs, hurts as well. Is all of these symptoms normal for quitting smoking? I havent started the horrible coughing stage yet but my lungs do feel like stuff is loosening in them. Sort of like bronchitis. Does anyone know when that will start as well?
Im a male 32 years old necame a heavy smoker in last few years. About a year ago was diagnosed w upper res infection. Was given antibiotics and he cleared up to a degree but it is never cleared up after this day I have to clear my lungs constantly when I get everything out seconds later it starts to build back I spoke with my doctor he said that it's because I'm smoker and if I quit smoking it will go away.
So I don't know whats wrong with me lately. I'm a 37 year old male who just recently (10 weeks) ago quit smoking after 17 yrs. For the past couple of weeks I've changed my diet eating healthier than I ever have. I'm not fat but could lose 20 pounds so I started doing some cardio on the treadmill.
How on earth did you manage to lose all that weight?? I quit smoking in Aug 2007, but before that even, I had started to gain lots of weight. I had to quit smoking because of the growth of excess tissue on my vocal cords which caused me to have to have 2 surgeries to get rid of, as I could barely talk anymore. Just about the time I quit smoking, I was diagnosed with vitamin B12 deficiency because I was exhausted all the time.
Thanks everyone I've been smoking for about 9 years its my time to quit. Its just a challenge. No I don't wanna be that mom smoking while pregnant! And honestly I still think I'm in shock a little! I hope my first doctors appointment will make it that much easier to quit. Once I hear the heart beat and see my little one. I might have a stick that says it my brain hasn't quite processed it 100%. But its been a dream to be pregnant for six years!! And now its game time!!
Had anyone's dr tried scaring them into changing? I.e. smoking caffeine diet exercise. I just had my first Dr appt and my Dr who is also pg tried scaring me. I know I'm overweight I know I need to quit smoking my exercise I'd find and my caffeine intake is within reason. Very judgemental and I'm thinking I need to switch drs bc I need help not judgement...
then she started smoking again in 2001, needless to say after not wanting any, being around her for a couple yrs smoking it reawoke my smoking disease. So, smoked on and off in 2003, quit for 2004. Then she died in 2005 not from smoking at 41. So I felt justified to bury my grief in cigs. since then i have struggled on and off. even stopped for 2.5 months after surgeries and started again each time. Now back to one or 5 a day or none for a few days, but it keeps coming back.
When you smoke and things you can do instead list people that can help you maybe you know ppl that have quit. Give yourself rewards for not smoking. Last set yourself a date to be done. I know its hard work but you can do it! One last thkng great job on cutting back you should be proud of yourself for all the work you have put into it!!!
