smoking

Avatar f tn Look up some articles if you want to know the effects of smoking. You don't want to put anything into your body tat isn't good for either of you while you are pregnant. I don't know of any doctors who would encouraged you to continue smoking unless you are stressing out more from not smoking.
Avatar m tn Some says there's no easy way to quit smoking especially if you're really addicted into it already. But of course, there are possible ways too. Step by step, and with a little discipline, you'll get over with it and completely leave this bad habit of yours. If you're having a hard time, you can have other alternative like considering the idea of getting an electronic cigarette. Many can justify that it's one way to quit the traditional/tobacco smoking for good.
Avatar f tn meggster, firstly understand that you should quit for your own health reasons, and not because somebody wants you to!!! I think now you are old enough to understand and take seriously that cigarette smoke can cost you your life in the course of time. 'am sure you must be aware of all the ill-effects of smoking? Smoking, which starts as a teenage fad, for impressing others. ..blah...blah. ..etc..often becomes a dirty and dangerous life-time habit!
Avatar m tn Hi Nedos Congrats on your One Month Sober!!!!! It's great that you're getting out to a meeting everyday There's many reasons why you may be tired during the day that you can control, like your diet, how much and how you deal with stress, and how you incorporate exercise into your life. There are diseases that have fatigue as a side effect, so you need to get to your family doctor, and let them know you've been sober a month , and have them do a thorough physical.
Avatar m tn 163] The latest report in 2005 by Tashkin et all does indeed confirm the lack of an association of smoking marijuana and lung cancer. However, there is substantial evidence that this substance causes lung damage and lung disease. The following is a 2008 statement of the World Health Organization (WHO) on the adverse effects of marijuana.
Avatar f tn As Mrs_bagz said there is nothing you can do no-it's not good for baby at all, even being around smokers is awful. Well done for giving up-I've never smoked but imagine it must be hard-but we will do anything for our children so well done! Don't start again-so much healthier fir you & your bundle! All you can do is go onto the net & print some articles explaining the effects smoking will have on her baby pre & post & hope a maternal instinct kicks in! Good luck!
Avatar n tn Hello there I have reading all of your comments and I am in the same boat I quit smoking two years ago with the help of Thrive Lozenges started on the 2mg and now on the 1mg still sucking the damn things. Yesterday I was so sick, feeling nauseated and dizzy all day blood pressure went up to 152/89, although I have GERD as well and am in Menopause so am not sure which to blame.
Avatar f tn I am researching the area of the effects of medication on oral health particularly in the area of anti psychotic medication and long term use of anti convulsants and anti depressants. Any articles or information would be of use.
1825702 tn?1317577765 I do know about panic attacks indeed and that was one of my crutches for smoking as long as I did and putting off quitting. However I later found out that for me personally nicotine actually erupted anxiety, the more I had, the more my body needed just to maintain what I thought was "normal" Isn't Wellbutrin also used to actually help people quit smoking by lowering the nicotine withdrawals?
Avatar f tn After you started Chantix, how long before you actually stopped smoking all together. What were some of the side effects you noticed?
596485 tn?1253821678 I know that the consequences now of smoking are losing my health insurance. For me that makes my choice to not smoke very simple. Great motivation for me anyway. The other thing that bothers me is the weight gain. It has only been 3 pounds but I am a petite person and only weigh 130 so any weight gain bothers me and is more noticeable than if I were heavier or taller. To many of you that may sound very trivial but it bothers me. Thanks for listening!!
1182186 tn?1264681880 Thank you so much for all of your encouragment!! Its so sweet of you take time out of your day to help me. You are sooo right I found myself smoking more today because I was to booked at work to leave to get lunch and I forgot my meal replacment = ( I think it is wise to concentrate on losing the weight first then quit smoking... cause I cant quit smoking and lose weight but i can do it vise versa. Also I will def. check out whyquit for motivation!!!
Avatar n tn mcclos10 is right......just stop altogether and get it over and done with. There is no such thing as "cutting back" and after 38 years of smoking, I have played that same game and I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've increased the amount of smokes because I was "stressed" or "depressed." I was full of excuses but eventually learned that the only way to quit is to quit completely.
747629 tn?1257931518 He usually smokes 20-25 cigarettes a day and eats lots of sweet stuffs. He is smoking since he was in class 11 so we can since the age of 16-17. Even though he tries to quit, he is compelled to lie to me and make various excuses. I m very much worried about his habit. Please help.........
806553 tn?1238141780 I am a shamed of myself. I've started smoking again, I just couldn't stand the mood it was putting me in and my family. I was really terrible with them. One min am happy and the next am ready to snap their heads off. They're still young so i couldn't explain to them what am going through. I will make an app with doc and get help. I can't do it cold turkey it's unfair on my kids and my partner.
Avatar m tn But, it blocks the nicotine receptors in the brain, so you smoke the first week while taking it and then you actually begin to notice that you are smoking our of habit and not out of craving. I worked in a dr. office and chantix worked for many of our patients....if possible see your dr for a script......hope it helps!! Good luck!!

Avatar m tn Marijuana can cause panic attacks in some people. Mainly in people who have been smoking for a long time, however, I suffered panic attacks after only 4 months of smoking. Marijuana stimulates the pleasure cells in your brain. If you wan't a scientific answer do a web search. Personally, marijuana affects on me were : increased taste, increased hunger, increased sense of hearing, increased sexual pleasure, increased interest in simple or mundane activities, increased paranoia, and sedation.
1107999 tn?1269718949 I realize now that I am probably going to need some help (with some kind of quit-smoking aid). I do not want to take Wellbutrin again (I am on an Anti-psychotic and it makes me shake a lot), and I do not believe that I can take Chantix (it may make me depressed) because I am bipolar. Nicotine patches may be dangerous for me, but I have used the gum before (while in the hospital). My next step is to get nicotine gum and try again. Thank you for your support.
Avatar f tn How long have you been clean? try not to do too much at once or you could be setting yourself up for a fall. we are only human so take it slow ok? I found the patch really helped me. I quit during both my pregnancies using the patch. I wish I hadn't started again after giving birth but I feel good knowing my babies grew inside me without nicotine and all the other **** going into their systems.
Avatar f tn My personal opinion is the harmful effects of smoking pot have not been studied as long as tobacco has been. Some recent trials may suggest there are more harmful affects than previously thought but will need more studies. http://www.hepmag.com/articles/2512_20526.shtml A Word About Marijuana Use Researchers have found that marijuana use can be harmful for people with hepatitis C.
Avatar f tn Hi, I used commit lozenges for about a week and when I went for a dental appoinment and the dentist told me that the roof of my mouth was red raw with blisters, he advised me to stop immediately. I also had a sore throat but thankfully, after stopping the lozenges, it went away. In the end, I quit with Chantix. I had no side effects though there are some that complain of joint pain, cramping, gas, bad dreams & stomach upset. Have you smoked while using the lozenges?
