COPD is an umbrella term for progressive lung diseases, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Smoking increases your risk for serious health problems, many diseases, many cancers, and death! Start your stop smoking plan with START: S = Set a quit date. T = Tell family, friends, and co-workers that you plan to quit. A = Anticipate and plan for the challenges you will face while quitting. R = Remove cigarettes and other tobacco products from your home, car, and work.

Need to quit smoking I have been smoking since I was 18 years old and I am now 41

My grandmother stop smoking two days ago. She has been experiencing trouble breathing (wheezing), feeling weak throughout her body, frequent urination to the bathroom and cramps in her legs and feet. I would like too know if these symptoms are the affects of the withdrawl process? Please explain each symptom why she is going through this.

I want to say there is more nicotine in an e cgis but not certain. Just try to wien yourself off. When my mother in law attemoed to stop smoking I always saw her with an unlit cigarette in her mouth that she would puff on. It seemed to work for her. I'm sure it's still not good for you but better than actually inhaling the smoke. Hope this help, good luck. You can do it!!

I too watched my mom die of lung ca all the while smoking non stop...it scares us but apparently not enough at the time. yes we feel fear and quilt and many other emotions tht seem just to spur even more cigarettes.. As you know cigarettes are one of the hardest additions to stop....saw my doctor last week who recently just quit himself, he told me its harder than a cocaine or heroin addiction....he knows an oncologist who gave him a tip...

Lately, when I attempt to quit, cold turkey, the only thing that relieves constipation, gas, bloating is to smoke again. Smoking provides immediate relief and over the counter meds or diet/exercise changes do not seem to work. Does it just take many months for the Nicotine to leave the system and for gas symptoms to stop? Do I just need to stick it out longer?

I started getting ready to stop smoking about 5yrs ago. I decided not to smoke in my car anymore. I suffer from anxiety, so I'm never away from the house for more than 2hrs max and I figured I could at LEAST go without a cigarette that long. At the time, I felt like this alone was an enormous accomplishment and it helped me to start thinking like a non-smoker, I had been a smoker for 33yrs before I quit last July.

First, congratulations! Second, call your OB and make an appointment. Third, try to stop smoking completely, but if you can't, cut down until you can stop. You can get some prenatal vitamins over the counter until your OB prescribes some for you. Pregnancy symptoms come and go, just be thankful on the days they go. :) Congrats again and heres to a happy and healthy nine months!

Hi..I wanted to know if I'm the only one or what I should do....I stop smoking when I found out I was pregnant. ..but I'm 26 weeks now n all I can think about is having a smoke...my bf smokes not inside but I still smell it off his clothes n if I go to a bbq at a family member house I have second hand smoke. ..I try n walk a way cus I know its bad to breath that in...all I think about is having one I'm craving it...what should I do ?

Hi I quit smoking 6 weeks ago. I had smoked for 9 years (yes i was a young starter) When I tried to quit before I found it really difficult coz it felt like I was missing out on something (if that makes sense?) then a friend told me about this book called Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking: Be a Happy Non-smoker for the Rest of Your Life. I read it and that really helped me. Its hard to explian but if you read it with an open mind it will work.

I know how hard it is to stop smoking. I smoked since i was 11 and quit for my kids when i was 24 and i swore i would never touch one again..hated the smell..couldnt stand been around anyone who smoked..hated seeing ppl in the street smoking. Then one night whilst on holiday with family i got very drunk and had a cigarette and from that moment i slipped back into it so easily..i smoked every day for another cpl of month and then i found out i was pregnant with baby no4.

I've just found out I'm 5 weeks and am really struggling to stop smoking is there anything i can use to help thats safe?

The following day I smoked for a longer amount of time, with both flavors again, but about a half hour after smoking I began to feel nauseus and started uncontrollably hitting my head against the counter (not hard but I was unable to stop and thought someone else was doing this to me). Then I fell on the floor and afterwards felt fine besides being sweaty.

honestly, the best way to stop smoking bud all together is to do jsut that, its easier said than done, but stop smoking. and within 3 weeks you will be fully normal, your memory will already start o get better, get out of the haze and fog that for so long it was stuck in..If the rebound anxiety is too much a low dose of valium or a similar benzo may help, but i highly doubt you will have many noticeable symptoms.

thanks just what people who are trying to quit need, a post like that, the motive of the post was to try and phsycologicly ( excuse the spelling) help people stop smoking, but as you have told them they won't overdose i don't think your post will help, the overdose of nicotine, i was told by my doctor, and some aids instructions have a warning on the instructionsabout smoking while using these aids.

I know this is going to sound trite, but you CAN stop smoking if you truly WANT to. I used to feel just like you, do a Rip Van Winkle and sleep through the cravings and withdrawals. I can't tell you how many times I gave into that crave just 15 minutes after I said that this was my last one! That's because I really didn't want to quit. After smoking for 40 years and using an inhaler for the last 5 of my smoking years, I decided that it was time.

I need help with this quitting smoking. What can I do to stop and deal with my depression, anxiety,bipolar?

Please stop! It could harm your baby and it is not worth it.

My niece not long had a baby and she smoked all through her pregnancy told her to stop so many times but she just couldn't stop and she had a healthy 8 pound baby boy.. I would stop as you wouldnt give your baby a fag when he or she here but your letting your baby breath in your smoke...

My family wont stop smoking around me and i keep choking on the smoke .. im 5 weeks pregnant should i worry ??

I smoked for 15 years and just gave up when I found out I was pregnant I just didn't buy anymore it's all about will power and self control

Avoiding the triggers like stress, irregular sleep, alcohol, smoking, chinese foods can help. Over-the-counter medications such as naproxen, ibuprofen, and acetaminophen can help in reducing the pain. Anti-emetics may help to control symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. He should take adequate rest and sleep. For best results it is best to get evaluated by a doctor and seek treatment. Do see a healthcare professional. I hope it helps. Best wishes and take care!
