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 n tn please keep trying to give up, in the end you will do it, i just told myself i would put has much effort in to not smoking as i put into smoking.. it is easy if you tell youself it is.i have copd, i was very worried, and still am to a certain degree....my doctor told me that at least it isnt lung cancer..which in a round about is good news..
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 Look up some articles if you want to know the effects of smoking. You don't want to put anything into your body tat isn't good for either of you while you are pregnant. I don't know of any doctors who would encouraged you to continue smoking unless you are stressing out more from not smoking.
Avatar m tn Some says there's no easy way to quit smoking especially if you're really addicted into it already. But of course, there are possible ways too. Step by step, and with a little discipline, you'll get over with it and completely leave this bad habit of yours. If you're having a hard time, you can have other alternative like considering the idea of getting an electronic cigarette. Many can justify that it's one way to quit the traditional/tobacco smoking for good.
Avatar n tn but quitting far out ways any effects you might have from the smoking. Any effects that may occur after quitting will only worsen the longer you smoke. 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.

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 f tn I also quit smoking and was on Chantix at the same time. I thought the terrible side effects were Chantix. But I still am in trouble after stopping Chantix 7 weeks ago. Pretty nuts, a change from smoking 40 years, Effexor, Chantix, and Prozac. Should I quit every drug and start over?
1565702 tn?1295292830 Although I think Im way too driven and neurotic about most things, I kinda think I should have been born in the 40s or 50s, at least when it comes to things like smoking. Right now, Im attempting to "quit or cut back" on my three to three to four pack a day cigarette habit, mainly because its causing me alot of grief at work; but not really because I have some overwhelming desire to quit.
Avatar n tn The results could be a number of things, including internal bleeding from somewhere in the body. Please do not ignore the warning sign because bleeding will eventually cause iron deficiency if left untreated. It could be something alot less serious, but I certainly wouldnt take any chances. All the best to your sister..
Avatar f tn hi only discovered i was pregnant in week 6 but was smoking and drinking all along stop the day i discovered the preg that was at 6weeks ,could this coz any problem to the child .
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 f tn And noones being rude she asked and everybody knows smoking isnt good for you in general how in the world is ir ok pregnant....I smoked for 9 years like crazy and wuit cold turkey...not everyone can do that...my kids however were my motavation...
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 .
Avatar m tn I've read many studies on the research of marijuana on the lungs, brain, heart, etc. From my findings, I have found that moderate smoking poses little risk to the body. While I've ready pretty consistent reports on marijuana effects on the heart and brain, I read different articles about marijuana on the lungs everyday.
Avatar n tn i feel the best when i wake up in the morning and then it kinda starts through out the day. i also have alot of random thoughts and alot of things remind me of people usual they just pop into my head. im trying to figure out whats going on and if it will just go away?
Avatar n tn Also had ear pain that the doctor said was a response to the throat inflammation, but wasn't an ear infection.
498385 tn?1362449404 These should be listed on the pakage. As for smoking while on the patch, you are not supposed to do it. Could it cause a heart attack......well, given that you are taking in twice the amount of nicotine, anything is possible. You really have to prepare yourself mentally for this quit......don't wear the patch until you are ready to never pick up another smoke. Nothing works when you half-a$$ it so make up your mind to put them down for good and just do it! If I did it, anyone can!
272759 tn?1270485594 -) there was actually no smoking in the bar...the only smoke i was around was the small stream of people that were outside which wasn't a huge deal. my obsession of the night ended up being if the loud music would hurt my babies ears! i didn't even think about that!
Avatar n tn is a chemical compound designed to mimic it. Not to mention the different types of chemicals they use in the flavorings and solvents.. It's the best idea to stop smoking period but, if your own of those women whose environment or lack of self control (my big issue with cigs) then just cut back as far as you can. Force yourself for your growing child. And if you're still smoking a cigarette here and there, I'm sure the kid will be fine.
Avatar n tn Used to smoke heavily for almost 11 years. Stopped smoking four days back. I am feeling heavyness in the left side of the chest. Sometimes burning sensation in the throat. Does this due to quitiing smoking or is it any heart related problem?...
Avatar n tn It all depends on your body and immune system. Few people could get affected easily with smoking. But anyhow smoking affects the body.
Avatar f tn The ringing is so bad in the night and in the morning think it makes the pain worse. Also on 2 1/2 mg Ativan but have been trying to come off it as the anxiety is much less. I did quit smoking and have started again but not very much. None of the Dr's can explain.
