Avatar m tn Smoking cigarettes, am I right. Many county's offer free patches to reduce craving. When I quit, things like Hypnosis were popular. Some try acupuncture. I just smoked the last one, Thanked God I didn't have to suffer cancer & made a private promise I'd never smoke again. It was hard for about a year. Then it got easier. It's been over 25 years since I smoked. I was only interested in quitting once. So that's it.
Avatar m tn Hi I actually have a really big question. a freind of mine said she wants to stop smoking and im just wondering what i can do to help her.she says she also uses some 'no stop' pills or something to help her from feeling sad or tired. i also heard recently that nicotine patches are useless.is this true?
Avatar f tn Hi, I really don't know the answer to your question. What I Do know is nicotine leaves the blood stream 72hrs after the last puff. Since it's now been 5 days, you are likely safe with your test, but I'm thinking your doc wanted you off the smokes for a month due to all the other chemicals in cigarettes which may slow down the healing process. It is my theory that thousands of chemicals don't just leave your body after 3days when one has smoked for years and years...
19880027 tn?1485894768 For the about 15 years I've been chewing tobacco and smoking it for almost 26 years. I'm 35 and it's been a very long run that I thoroughly enjoyed. Now when it's time to hang it up there's no support for those of us that chew tobacco. There's stop smoking just about everywhere you look and I gave up smoking November of 2016. Today is day 8 tobacco free and all I can think about is eating but I'm on a monitored diet.
397539 tn?1233258097 Autum, please get the nicotine patches. It is a 10 week program. 6 weeks on 21 mg/day patches, 2 weeks on 14mg/day patches, and 2 weeks on 7mg/day patches. You won't have these terrible withdrawal symptoms, and you can re-learn how to live your life without smoking. I quit in 1992 after 23 years of smoking a pack a day. I had tried everything from cold-turkey to hypnosis, but only the patch helped me.
Avatar f tn I was the same, I wanted to stop smoking as soon as I found out I was pregnant but they say it's better to ease off them than going cold turkey. I went to a stop smoking clinic I had patches and gum also the spray but it's not very nice. As of the 29th of December 2014 it will be 1 year since iv smoked and I feel so much better and I was a heavy smoker and asthmatic, u will / can do it just b strong.
595141 tn?1239971814 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.
318890 tn?1297965320 over here they give you patches, Gum, Inhalars ( bad speller lol ) free with the N.H.S stop smoking programm. It's really god coz the box's i get are 17 pound stearling a box & i get 2 boxes. Well i did when i went to my first consultaion, Entway they are working but im still smoking, If that makes sence. I'v gone from smoking 20 plus & alot of canabis a day to 5 yesterday. That was my first day.
497868 tn?1212223282 ive quit smoking nearly 3 and half mths ago, i used the patches which i found ok but u still have to have willpower. i know hate the smell of people of smoking i cant beleive i used to smell like that. my other half is having more problems trying to pack in he is now trying the tablets but he says he has weird dreams with them a small price to pay if he can pack in with them though.
Avatar f tn I'M NOT SURE ABOUT ALL OF YOU, BUT MY SPECIALIST TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO STOP SMOKING OR HE COULDENT or WOULDENT TREAT ME. I'VE BEEN SMOKING 35 YRS YES I PROBABLY CAN AND WILL STOP BUT IT JUST SEEMS SO SMALL COMPARED TO EVERTHING ELSE, DID ANYONE ELSE SMOKE DURING TREATMENT?
Avatar f tn I wouldnt be as concerned being on a low mg patch for a week or two to have a better chance of succseeding as i would be smoking , its the way alot of midwives ect recommend initially to stop smoking . Agree long term is'nt recommended . to have a monitered and organised plan with midwife , nurse is important and more succsessful. Women shouldnt be put off from short term from patch or gum ect if it stops them smoking. Its far better for baby and mother than smoking .
Avatar n tn After i kick this hydro to the curb I want to stop smoking. have wanted to for a long time. Does Chantix work, how well, how long did ya smoke, how many packs. How long does it take to work. I could use and would really appreciate any info on the matter. I've gone cold turkey befor but this 49 year old Bird aint as tough as she used to be. I did defer the Subloxone for hydro w/d tho after research. Any success stories would be most graciusly received.
Avatar f tn I have been trying to quit smoking for months now and the free patches i got from the ny state quit smoking place do not seem to help. I have lost wieght and dont want to gain it back but my health is important. Is there any kind of like strong tasting straws or anything anyone can suggest that might help.
Avatar f tn Probably from smoking then. Try to not smoke for a little while and see if they go away. When you stop smoking blood flow gets better, your skin receives more oxygen and nutrients. This can help you develop a healthier complexion all over. If you can't, then see what your doctor thinks of this. It could be something else.
Avatar f tn is nicoteine patches safe to use to stop smoking ? I'm 8 weeks pregnant and want to stop but I won't be able to do it cold turkey ? Any help ?
318890 tn?1297965320 When i first started to stop smoking its only been just a week, But i'm using patches & i commented on how i was still havin a few smokes a day. Well i USED to smoke roll ya own cigs, I was @ work yesterday & i work nights, I never had a smoke all my shift, just lots ov gum & a lozange when i was cravin ( there not nice lol ). Enyway when the girls came in, In the morning i started to crave like iv never craved before so i asked if i could lend a cig.
Avatar f tn My daughter used this program and i believe she got 1 month of the patches free. She has now been smoke free for 18 months. They have counselors that you talk with also which is part of the program. She really liked that part of it and they had some great ideas for her.
Avatar f tn Today I have 1 year of not smoking cigarettes. Woot whew! I used all the stuff to quit including zyban, patches, chantix and nicotine gum, in that order. I’m chewing 3-6 pieces of 4 mg nicotine gum per day. I told myself that after 1 year of being smoke free, I would deal with my gum addiction. The plan of course is to wean myself off of the gum. I thought I would start by cutting the 4 mg in half and see if that works, the problem is I love the gum….
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn When I read your comments, I remembered just how hard it was to fight smoking. Before I was able to quit myself, I have had a many attempts. There was a time when I stopped for one year and had a relapse. But then there comes a time when the body just seems to have had enough punishment, and you would feel the abuse. And you'll get into thinking, what the heck am I doing to myself? and then you will decide to stop smoking. Again. And when you do, decide to end it, you can.
