You Gotta Quit Smoking!

I have nicotine gum, but I’m interested about your ideas. Do you have any secrets that stopped you smoking?

Actually I have heard that having something in the place of a cigarette helps. Try chewing on a toothpick when you feel the urge to smoke. Chewing gum helps too. I hope this works for you. Good luck.

I have a 46 year old brother that needs to quit now due to serious health issues. At birth he was born with a condition called highlands membrane disease and is even listed in the Guinness book of records to be the only person to survive this illness, can anyone tell me from there own experience the method that worked for them to kick this habit please.

Well cancer will sure do it….. and that’s not as much of a joke as it sounds like. My boss used nicotine patches and hypnosis to slowly wean himself from a pack a day habit. I think everyone is different, and the person has to want to stop, that;s the biggest thing.

I’ve been smoking for like 8 years, and the last 6 months my voice has
gotten a little raspy, and the hi notes in my voice aren’t so hi anymore.
If I quit, will my voice return to normal?

congrats on your road to a new and improved you!!
from here on now you lungs are slowly making its way to full recovery..

it should take another year or so for you to be completly healed (your lungs) but your voice rasp should fade away in time too..
drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated and your throat clear of any debris

good luck

I would love to hear from ex-smokers about how they quit smoking and any other tips they might have.

I used to smoke atleast 2 packets ,I was a chain smoker ,But I tried more than 100 times to quit smoking and I used to fail every time.After some days ,I realized abt this bad habit,also i used to get throat problems.So I hardly tried to quit,One of my friend said that to quit smoke we should forget fully and avoiding thinking about smoking makes to quit smoking,But unfortunately it is also failed,Yes we can stop thinking abt smoking ,But we can’t stop watching our eyes at other smokers.Thier we tempt,i taken this issue seriously ,Chewing gums,pills all of them failed.Then At last one thing worked for me that is diverting my interest to another entertainment thing,means I diverted my mind from cigarette smoking to other thing,Which I like morethan smoking.How I diverted? our mind remembers when somebody smoke,talks and when we get bored.So choosen internet and t.v,I am not gone out.I Just sitted in home Browsing and T.v after two days i fully forgotten Cigarette after one week doing like this I lost Interest upon cigarette,So to quit smoke you need lost interest,to loss interest upon cigartee You need to divertee your interest to another entertainment things which gives non stop entertain for atleast 8 days.( I already Posted same answer in other question also to help)

I have been smoking for about 20 years (I am 35) and would love to give it up but I am really scared that I won’t be able to do it. My husband quit 5 years ago and has been on my case ever since to do the same. I wish I could wake up tomorrow and be a non-smoker. The problem is I still enjoy smoking maybe 10 out of the 20 cigarettes I have each day.

I’ve ‘quit’ before only to start up again. So you have to fix the way you look at it.
My mistakes when I quit:
1.I smoked my favorite cigarettes for a week (so I went from lights to full flavor)
2. I started running that day…so my nicotine levels dropped way to fast, and my skin crawled and it was hard
3. I craved a cigarette everytime I saw/felt a trigger.

This year I was ready.
1. I went to ultralights for the month prior
2. I didn’t quit…I realized that I was a non-smoker
3. Every trigger I had…I thought…that doesn’t make any sense, I am a non-smoker. I don’t get this craving.
4. Use a straw to occupy your hands. I cut a straw down to the size of a cigarette and breathed through the straw whenever I felt the craving for a cigarette…I didn’t need it after a few weeks.

Sep. 3,2006 I realized I was a non-smoker. I also went through a divorce during this time period…so I must have really wanted it or else my technique really worked well. I can be around people smoking, I can be in the same car while someone is smoking and I’ve held their lit cigarettes for them without wanting one…why…because I am a non-smoker.

Program your mind with what you are!

Good luck.

My father is a heavy smoker, and he’s smoking himself to death!
I want him to take advantage of Ramadan, and end smoking once and for all, but it is too, too difficult for him.
What can I do or say to him, so that he takes advantage of Ramadan and Insha’Allah quits smoking forever? I really want to help my dad out.

If your father is a muslim tell him it is haraam to smoke and drink because Allah does not like anything that harms his body. Tell your dad it is haraam to smoke and how worried you are.

My girlfriend smokes. I want her to quit. She doesn’t do it around me but I can always smell it and I just hate how it can effect her health. I have tried to use guilt, saying how its unhealthy to everyone but she just gets pissed when anyone tries to lecture her. she knows how bad it is and she kind of wants to quit. besides her smoking she is the most amazing girl ever.

Tell her how much of a turn off it is for you…. it takes an average of 7 attempts to successfully quit smoking…. keep on her….but be patient…. Good luck!!!!

im 6 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child i had been trying 2 conceive 4 a yr b4 i fell and i just want to know if any1 has any ideas how i can stop smoking cos ive wanted this baby so much and i dont want 2 do anythin which is going 2 make me lose this baby.
can i just say 2 the pratt who answered second that i have just found out im pregnant and that i already have 2 kids with whom i didnt smoke with while i was pregnant.

Hi,

First may I say good luck with your pregnancy!

I’ve only just given up smoking and the best tips are to try to change the things you would usually do. For example, if you have a particular thing you usually smoke while doing, find something else to do. I usually used to smoke while having a cup of coffee, so at those times I’ll try to do some knitting, or play patience… anything that keeps my hands busy! Water is a great thing for suppressing the need for a cigarette too, and is also good for you during pregnancy.

One large incentive I found was to save up the money. Each time I would have bought a packet of cigarettes, I put the money into a piggy bank. Come the end of the month, you’ll have a lovely large amount put away with which to buy baby items, and its SO rewarding to see all that cash to spend on something more worthwhile!

I once again wish you all the best for the future, and I’m sure you’ll be able to quit with such a lovely reward of a baby to aim for =)
