smoking

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 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.
467579 tn?1289402969 In the meantime, you and other smokers should take advantage of currently available medicines and state-sponsored, smoking cessation programs. 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.
Avatar f tn Second, I know you are not asking for a lecture on all the risks of what smoking could do to the health of your baby but definitely ask your Doctor what smoking cessation programs are available to you. You may find others in your same boat. But the earlier you do it the BETTER for you and your baby who is now about the size of a cherry!
8659741 tn?1399221226 I , routinely did yoga, meditation and many holistic therapies. In spite of all techniques i failed in cessation of smoking and to be free from sleeping pills. Luckily I got rid of smoking 2005.just by chance.All techniques proved to be useless to me.In spite of failures, I continued my attempts and got free from smoking and now I think I will be free from sleeping meds. One month back, I had abruptly stopped xanax and Ambien.
Avatar n tn We have the Thomas recipe listed below. Go to the drugstore and get those items. It also has instructions. That will help with WDs. As for smoking, I'd wait until you feel better after the opiate WD before starting to quit. I did a taper program with a large group of other smokers back in the 80s to quit. We not only reduced the nicotine content of our cigs every week, we also logged in every damn cig we smoked. Smoking became such a hassle, I've remained a non smoker ever since.
Avatar m tn t put it off any longer than that. Immediately request information on smoking cessation programs; they may put you on the patch and slowly wean you off that way (a common way for it to be done during pregnancy) or they may have another solution. Either way...you need to make sure that you're doing the best thing for baby. is it selfish to keep smoking? maybe, but you're addicted, and no one is going to judge you. You can do this, and you must do it for baby.

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 PLEASE do your best to quit soon, especially if your own health is suffering, you know it's doing damage to your baby and it's probably making you sicker just being stressed. I was pissed when I had to quit, did it cold turkey but I've quit cold turkey once before so I knew I could do it. I was a real pain in the butt but I know now I will never go back to smoking (even though I still crave it 8 months later), just too expensive anyways, I try and look at it that way.
1262435 tn?1270311859 This diminution in risk occurs relatively soon after cessation of smoking, and increasing intervals since the last cigarette smoked are associated with progressively lower mortality rates from CHD. Similar rapid decreases in risk with smoking cessation are also seen for ischemic stroke. Benefits from quitting are seen in former smokers even after many years of heavy smoking.

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 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 m tn I have recently been approved by VA for a chantix prescription, and expect to start the cessation program within days. I've been told that a recent medical study indicates that a male of my age, 66, incurs decreased longevity by quitting smoking after 50 years addiction. can someone direct me to such a study, or advise if I've been misled?
Avatar m tn You don't have to monitor your levels every week during the smoking cessation process... I'm sure there's going to be some discomfort, but we've all (those who have quit smoking) gone through discomfort with both the smoking cessation AND being hypo until we got to the correct level of medication.
Avatar n tn my wife is taking bupropion sr 150 mg to quit smoking and wants to know if cold medication can be taken while on this drug.
Avatar m tn wellbutrin is not indicated in the cessation of smoking marijuana, but it does increase your chances of seizure if you drink alcohol while taking it. also, smoking, i think it actually either helps with the cessation of anxiety in anxious peoples or adds anxiety on non anxious people so if you are smoking to chill out (just a guess), you might want to try anti-anxiety meds instead.
1671473 tn?1450592437 Within two years after smoking cessation, the percentage of hypothyroid cases attributable to cessation of smoking was 85%. Current smoking was not associated with altered risk for developing overt hypothyroidism (OR: 0.92 (0.57-1.48)). CONCLUSIONS: The risk of having overt autoimmune hypothyroidism diagnosed is more than 6 fold increased the first 2 years after cessation of smoking. Clearly smoking cessation is vital to prevent death and severe disease.

2107732 tn?1335127983 It is not uncommon for a person to develop a productive cough following smoking cessation, as one’s lungs recover and the bronchial tubes are able to clear accumulated “crap” out of the lungs. This can occur just about anytime following smoking cessation and may continue for 6-12 months. That may be what is happening. On the other hand, what you describe may be a sign of infection and may be accompanied by fever, fatigue, malaise and/or loss of appetite.
