Avatar f tn Have you ever seen one of those clinics that uses hypnosis for smoking cessation? I hear they work really well. You sound like you're doing so well already that maybe something like that would put you over the top and you would not only stop but never start again.
Avatar f tn His pot smoking might harm the baby in ways you don't expect, such as, if you don't live in a place where pot is legal, he might get arrested some day. And/or, he is spending a lot of money on his discretionary habit that could go to the baby. I am sure that online there are places to look up whether a heavy marijuana smoker could have flaws in his sperm from the pot, and what kind they might be.
Avatar n tn Is it possible to quit smoking through natural methods, I mean without using those nicotine patch or medications. I don’t have much faith in medications.

8548587 tn?1426132056 They do have that program I see on tv more and more that gives free counseling and smoking cessation products. I only found an ecig helped. But beware because I got so sick using it! My tongue, tonsils, and throat were coated in white puss stuff. Doc said I was the sickest person he'd seen in a while. So now I'm very wary of them. I didn't share it either. But, isn't sugar and nicotine the most addictive substances? Dont quote me on that, just thought I heard it somewhere.
Avatar n tn My mother in law also quit smoking using hypnosis. (It didn't work for my bother in law though) I know several other people who have used e cigarettes to quit because they could control the nicotine and slowly decreased their dose until it was 0.
Avatar f tn Two things that can help are a quit-smoking program based on hypnosis (some therapists can do this, or there are stand-alone programs) and acupuncture. Neither is damaging during pregnancy, and if you could get the benefit and actually quit, how great for you and your baby.

Avatar f tn It is also a signal that if you do not stop smoking, your lung function will increasingly continue to rapidly deteriorate. That means that smoking cessation is not just the abandonment of a bad habit but a crucial act that will prevent further loss of lung function, reduce the frequency of lung infections, reduce the likelihood of lung (and other) cancers, enhance the quality of your life and extend the length of your life.
Avatar f tn m definitely a stress smoker so lowering my stress has helped me quit smoking without using any of the regular quitting methods. Also surround yourself with people who don't smoke, and note the times where you usually smoke -morning with coffee, 10 minute break, etc- and find something to replace it. (This can help with break the habit, which is definitely that hardest part.
Avatar m tn I am a smoker . Iam using smokeless tobacco to get off the smoking. whitch is worse?
Avatar n tn I have tried nicorette, patches, hypnosis, chantix, wellbutrin, yoga, acupuncture, cessation classes, therapy and cold turkey to quit smoking. I have smoked for 40 years. When I try to quit I get hysterical, I cry for days and I can't function and I am just overwhelmed with anxiety. I have a very high stress job, I care for an elderly parent in my home, and I am a recovering alcoholic, 20 yrs, so addiction is not new to me.

Avatar n tn t let anyone give you that excuse that it is so stressful to quit smoking that you may as well keep smoking. Smoking is poison for the baby, they'd rather have the stress. But if you get the patch it should not be that stressful. My brother quit in one day because -- guess what happened from his smoking, he had a heart attack and found out he needed a quadruple bypass. (Wakes you up, right?) He did it easily by using a patch, said he never missed the cigs.
Avatar m tn After I stopped smoking, I experienced slight nausea and lots of fatigue the first week. So it's possible it's part of the withdraw process. But I don't know about the canker sores or the fever.

Avatar f tn I know Zyban is another smoking cessation aide but that is another name for the anti-depressent Wellbutrin and an anti-depressent alone in bipolar can often worsen mania. Those are the two that are clinically approved and in standard use. Others are in experimental use.
Avatar f tn Try hypnosis. "Positive Changes" is a program around here that uses hypnosis for changes around overeating and smoking, and I am sure there are others. Seriously, don't let a midwife kid you, not smoking is better than smoking.
Avatar m tn Hey everybody..I was wondering if anyone have successfully quit smoking using e-cigs and if so how do they work and what do you think of them? I have done a lot of research on them and read pretty good stuff. I realized that for me I am more addicted to the oral fixation than the nicotine. I need to be able to put something in my mouth and blow out smoke as I quit. The patch and gum just dont work for me. Thanks ahead of time for your advice.
Avatar f tn s not, ask them to recommend how to cut back and quit, or ask them to recommend a smoking cessation method to help you (the patch, the gum, etc)...and see if there are any smoking cessation programs in your state that you can call for information as well.
Avatar f tn I am six weeks and I am having the hardest time trying to quit smoking. Any tips?

The great majority of us attribute smoking to nicotine addiction, not to a “mental defect.” Do consult with your doctor regarding medicine and call your local smoking cessation program. Good luck.
