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.
Avatar f tn Quitting smoking side effects are mainly to do with the body trying to detox itself from all of the harmful chemicals that you have been putting into your body by smoking cigarettes. You always have to bear in mind from the beginning of any attempt at quitting smoking that the benefits for you are going to be fantastic. Mild depression or sadness, there goes your best friend that you turned to in need. Tobacco was always handy to blot out your worries and give you your fix.
Avatar f tn I still continued to smoke for a couple of days, but only a couple of puffs from my husbands cigarette 2-3 times a day, then I looked online about the effects off smoking whilst pregnant and quit straight away! There are times when I would like a cigarette but I care for my unborn baby a million times more than a dirty fag! Honestly the best thing you can do is quit, every time you smoke your babies tiny heartbeat has to beat extremely fast as it struggles for oxygen!

Avatar f tn Google how smoking effects your baby. One was it increases the risk of sids (sudden infant death syndrome). That alone should be enough for someone to quit but a lot of moms turn a blind eye to the negative side effects. Best of luck quitting! !!
Avatar m tn Will working out help cleanse my body faster of side effects of taking vicodin? And I am also quiting smoking what can I do to curb the need for a cigarette. I cannot afford nicotine patches or anything else that costs money!!
Avatar f tn There hasnt been a study on the effects of weed on the human body since the 1930s when it was illegalized. And to top it all off it wasnt illegalized for the effects!
Avatar n tn Vaping is WAY worse for you and the baby than cigarettes are. I'm currently trying to quit; have been a pack and a half a day smoker for years and after a week I'm down to 5 or less a day. If it's just too ******* hard and you have to have a cigarette once in awhile. Do it. It's better than putting other chemicals into your body that your system isn't used to. Vapor isn't just "water" and the "nicotine" is a chemical compound designed to mimic it.
786232 tn?1241742056 Look up how to do a body cleanse, sounds like your body is having a overload of chemicals, and possibly a deficiancy, "probably B Vit," have you ever got tested for deficiancys? I get the twitch too, lol Kinda makes me laugh..its getting better though. How long ago have you quit smoking? Cigs have ALLOT of different chemicals in them that build up in the system, so a cleanse is reccomended.

Avatar f tn There are mixed reviews on the benefits of cold turkey vs cutting back... there are gonna be mixed answers in each, depending how much you smoke a day, how you handle not smoking and will power are very big factors in quitting... like i said before its up to you as you know how to take it best...
945369 tn?1320829437 She promises to quit if they are to get married, but I am concerned that the after-effects of long term smoking would stay in her system. Would that be a problem when they try to conceive? Does it also raise the probability of birth defects in their future children? And how long after she quits can they start to try and conceive? Sorry for so many questions, but I am really worried, because I have always believed that smoking is very harmful for a women's reproductive system.
Avatar n tn smoking is both a physical and mental addiction that ranks up there with heroin,,, trading one addiction for anouther may help your body get rid of the chemical build up from the first substance for a while... but in the long run the replacement substance will do the same thing,, toxify you and hurt your body in the end. Point being, I cant disagree with Kathys assertion that most alternatives just arent really worth it.
Avatar f tn I am on the patches and have been smoke free for a week! There is really no side effects that I have experienced! Depending on how many cigarettes you smoke will depend on how many MG you need to be on. You can buy them over the counter or your doctor can prescribe them as well so your insurance can help pay for them. Good luck to you!
Avatar f tn Your brain and body do feel the effects of the drug nicotine in the tabacco. Your baby will feel it to, and it may or may not effect brain developement. My mom had 2 sisters. Of the 3 mommys, one smoked cigarettes and drank a little during pregnancy. The 2 mom's who did not smoke or drink had multiple healthy live births where all kids went to college...school teachers, attorneys, business peeps. The aunt who smoked and drank had low birth weight babies.
Avatar n tn The longer you go without smoking the better your body will be able to heal itself. Beware that detox can be the pits and you may need help in doing so. Make not smoking a habit of yours (habits are usually formed after 21 days of doing it consistently). You can also try thinking of it as a money saving adventure. Count up the cost of how much smoking cost you over the last semester ( probably quit a bite ).
Avatar f tn 3weeks smoke free today every time I get cramps or feel sick or hungry I know it's for baby make your house and car smoke free and get him to have a smoking jacket and smoke outside :) drink lots of water Hun it's not so bad I'm usually psychotic w no smokes but look at me now :)
Avatar n tn just try to do that....look into online demonstrations of what cigarette does to your alveolis...how tar may lead to permanent scarring, not to mention the effects on your blood vessels and heart... I think the education about non-smoking(everybody thinks it is over the top) is still not enough...
Avatar m tn i quit a nasty 115mg vicodin habit AND 1 pack a day smoking habit at the same time. I am 35 days clean from both.....
Avatar m tn So basically the concept of the medication is that when you quit smoking you quit getting your regular dopamine fix (the brain rewards you for smoking a cigarette by releasing dopamine which makes you feel good.) The zyban, over the course of a few weeks, stops your body from breaking down the natural dopamine in your brain as quickly. So ideally it keeps you from returning to smoking by keeping your dopamine system from crashing.
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 f tn What are the side effects of smoking when pregnant? Did any of u girls smoke when u were pregnant? I'm 16 weeks and trying to quit but it a lot harder than I thought .
