quit smoking options

I had a doctors appointment on Thursday and I was going to ask him about some quick quit smoking options but when he first found out I smoked he got a bad attitude towards me for it. It's very hard, I've been smoking since I was 11. My bf wants to quit before me so that I'll quit faster, but old habits die hard. Especially driving truck and operating equipment is where we do 90% of our smoking at work makes it even more tough because that's what we're used to.

I dont know if the fact that Ive already lost about 30% of my lung function is causing me to have decreased oxygen flow in such a way that could be causing or exacerbating my depression or what - but someone told me the other day they think that could be part of it, then they said I should try harder to quit smoking. But everytime I tried to quit smoking, my mood just went all over the place and I just felt like total crap, its like cigarettes were the only thing helping me get through the day.

I hAve been trying to quit also for some its harder than others i guess i was told by my het doc and ob that if i quit now i wont make it through l n d good luck hun

I quit smoking 3days ago and in 13 days I have to have a breath test done to see if I still have nicotine in my system.

I quit smoking ASA I fell pregnant too I'm 30 weeks now and still every now and then when I've done everything and before I sit down to relax I really feel like one...

I tried everything to quit smoking and finally did at 22 weeks. im now 26w3d and its so nice to say i quit. I tried everything to quit and i guess after my ultrasound it hit me that i really needed to try n quit once n fer all not just fer a day or two. I ended up quiting cold turkey and asked for my husbands help. He smokes. I wouldnt have any lighters cigs or money to buy em around the house and picked up a new habit. Going on walks....im here fer u if u need someone to talk to. Thatll help.

I smoked for 2 years. I know not a long time but this is how I quit. Ok I started just smoking half then I'd go down to a half of a half. I also chewed gum everytime id get an urge. And I wouldn't smoke that first one in the mornings. Id wait as long as I could then smoke. You could try eating sunflower seeds too. Hope that helps. Good luck! Princess.

10 a day is kind of allot, either way it's good you cut down if you were smoking more!! Ugh i quit during my 5th month I'm not proud if how long it took me to quit, I'm pretty sure only way to do it us to quit cold turkey...

m not a smoker but, When my mom quit smoking she did what my grandpa always said to do If you have a sore throat. It sounds nasty but my mom says works! And I know it works for a sore throat. You drink a tablespoon of vinegar and then right after a tablespoon of honey then drink plenty of water. The vinegar kills bacteria in your throat while the honey soothes it. Hope this helps!!

my sister quit while pregnant by imaging her baby smoking. I dont know how helpful that will be for you, I would say ask your doctor, they will usually have info on how to quit or get help quitting.

I quit smoking 5 days ago and I am feeling like my breathing is somewhat shallow. Also, my lungs feel like they are being squeezed, I dont really know any other way to describe it. Also, in my upper back area, pretty much opposite my lungs, hurts as well. Is all of these symptoms normal for quitting smoking? I havent started the horrible coughing stage yet but my lungs do feel like stuff is loosening in them. Sort of like bronchitis. Does anyone know when that will start as well?

Persons with diagnosed CHD experience as much as a 50% reduction in risk of reinfarction, sudden cardiac death, and total mortality if they quit smoking after the initial infarction. Furthermore, the patient who has recently developed a clinical illness is very motivated to change, and several studies have shown that intervention in this "teachable moment" can be very effective.

I started smoking when I was about 10, quit when I was 50. Got a carton for my 13th birthday. One of the 50 times I quit smoking I was sitting there wearing a patch on each arm, chewing a piece of Nicorette, puffing on a Marlboro all at the same time. It's rough!! It finally took. What bothered me the most at first was people smoking, but I made an oath that I would never be a reformed smoker that looks down their nose at smokers. One of the times I failed we went to the Casino.

Hi Nirban I smoked when I was younger too. Here in the USA, we have a patch. That helps. Dr can prescribe zyban & that's supposed to help too. When I quit, I did not use that stuff though. This is what I did. I bought some straws. Then I cut them to the length of a cigarette. I took them with me, so when I felt like smoking I'd hold a straw like a cigarette. I'd even puff or draw a breath on the straw. Helped to relax me. I'd have something to do with my hand too.

I quit smoking the day after i found out too. I was a smoker for 5 years until september when i found out i having a baby. To me its all in the mind, and you have to be strong and know that you dont need it , its bad for you and your baby. My husband helped me get thru it , my baby my family is too important to me than a cigarette. Just remind yourself that your strong , you dont need it, its all in the mind. Whats in the heart is what matters.

^^ exactly. My first pregnancy I smoked cut down to 5 cigs.. it's very difficult to quit smoking. Everyone keeps saying why don't you stop? Just quit it'll be easy! It's like umm no its extremely hard! Just take it day by day.. oh and my son was very healthy he weighed 8 pds 3.2 oz and now he's 2 years and amazing! (: I'm 13 wks pregnant and working on cutting down.. it's even hard just to cut back.. but you got this!!

then she started smoking again in 2001, needless to say after not wanting any, being around her for a couple yrs smoking it reawoke my smoking disease. So, smoked on and off in 2003, quit for 2004. Then she died in 2005 not from smoking at 41. So I felt justified to bury my grief in cigs. since then i have struggled on and off. even stopped for 2.5 months after surgeries and started again each time. Now back to one or 5 a day or none for a few days, but it keeps coming back.

s anything wrong with smoking pot, but you still have the act of inhaling something in your lungs everyday which makes it hard to stay quit with cigs. I was a pot smoker too. Quit almost 3mos ago. Smoking pot led me to fail my quit each and every time.

The crucial thing to do is to start medication again as there should be insurance options (such as Medicaid if a person is not working or if they are and it exists in their state the Medicaid Buy in for Working People with Disabilities, there are many other options as well) that would cover it because smoking cessation will cause mood flare ups and it will be easier this way and then your psychiatrist can determine which smoking cessation aide (if needed) would be appropriate for you.

anyone who is trying to quit smoking might want to read michael carr's (i think that's the author's name) book the easy way to quit smoking. he also has a web site. you can get this book at your libary or book store.

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?
