Stop Smoking Help Blog

Should there be free clinics where smokers and can actually get real help with stopping smoking?

I’m referring to this because there are people that really would like to stop but they can’t. One of the things that stops them from trying to stop is that they can’t take the additional expense of a medication that may or may not work.

In addition, I wonder how many crimes are committed just because the person didn’t have a cigarette. Believe it or not, yes it is that bad. We never know what straw is going to break the person. They may be on egde and burst out where they wouldn’t have.

Is smoking weed every day dangerous ? My bf smokes it every day. I want to stop it asap!?

Hi
I am in relationship for over a year and recently I ve learned that my boyfriend is smoking pot every day. He smokes at work on lunchbreaks and also at home when I am asleep at night. He just admitted to it and he claims that this is calming him down.
When I met him 15 months ago he was smoking, then he was free of this habit for a year or so. 3 months ago we went thrugh a crisis and since then he smokes again.

We are doing fine but when he smokes he is completely different person. There is no interaction with him almost and additionally he is not willing to talk. He smokes every day now and so you can only imagine what it means to me. When he is high we are in two different worlds.In contrary – when he is not smoking – he is the most lovely man on earth.

I am affraid that if I will not help him or use some kind of trick to make him stop smoking daily our relationship will be done. I am just loosing my patience slowly.

So maybe there is someone who can advise me something on this matter.
I want my baby back !

He claims that it just calms him down and that he smokes due to workload and associated stress. I am devastated…

Please help me ….

who out there has quit smoking and how ?

I listened to Allen Carrs “Easy Way to Stop Smoking” which helped a lot in stopping.
I also went to http://whyquit.com/ which helped a lot. I have been smoke free for several months now.

How can I get my mom to stop smoking cigarettes and how can I stop my dad using smokeless tobacco?

My mom has been smoking since she was in her late teens and she has asthma. I am afraid she will develop lung cancer or worse… I want my mom to be around for a long time because I love her and care about her and I know that she is a very special person. I do not know when my dad started chewing smokeless tobacco, but this type of tabacco can cause mouth cancer and my dad could lose his entire jaw if he continues… I want my dad to be around for a long time because I know if he were to get into an accident, I don’t think I would be ready to become the man of the house. plus, My dad makes most of the money in our family and we couldn’t live in our home without that money… I also look up to my dad and I think he makes good decisions for our family. He is a nice dad and is nice to have around. Even though we have a home security, I feel safer at night when he’s home. I just want them both to live long, happy and healthy lives- drug free. My mom can’t take pills to stop smoking because they give her a stomach ache and idk if there are anything to make my dad quit smokeless tabacco. I need some words of advise or what to say to them to get them to quit. PLEASE HELP!!! Your answers may be my only hope!!!
I would never smoke or do any drugs, so don’t give any suggestions about that. Please do not give me worthless answers.

i want to stop smoking when my baby born,,, any tips to succeed?????

No judgemental comments please!!!!!! but im 28 weeks with an unplanned pregnancy, but happy all the same, but in a way still hasnt hit theres a baby inside me even so it moves round and keeps me awake etc, its not my fisrt baby but i gave up for her pregnancy easily but have not managed it this time. I agreed with my midwife when baby was born in that moment i intend to stop smoking as i dont want to breast feed and be a smoker at the same time, she agreed it was a great idea and would help me all the way in succeeding but in theory the bbirth of my child should be plenty incentive to give up…. So as soon as baby is born i will be ciggie free but with my last two i started smoking again soon after their births and i dont want to start again this time, anyone have any different ideas on how to continue the no smoking after ive finished breast feeding,,,, it seems so daft to quit then start again but its so easily done and the cravings overwhelm,,, i need some tips to keep it up??
and i dont smoke infront of my kids,, i always have gone out into the garden to light up as i dont want my kids to see me smoking,,, and they never have so far but i dont want them to think its ok to smoke in later life… i realli need to quit
i said no judgements plz!!!!!!!! i dont do drugs i dont drink or anything alike,,, my one downfall is smoking, the risks to my baby are not mental retardation!!!!! at most it can stunt the babies growth but i can assure you i am carrying a very healthy big baby and only more recently has it been said smoking is bad,, many years ago no one batted an eye lid!!!!!
atleast im recognising i want to quit that i want to suceed which is surely better than not quitting at all!

I heard they want to pass a law to have all military stop smoking?

I have something to say about this. Does our country have nothing better to do then to pass such dictatorship laws on a country which is suppose to be free to the people? I understand smoking is bad for your health, but these men and woman are fighting for our right to be free and to help others in the process. Their jobs are very stressful. First trying to survive in wars and trying to help the safety of other civilians as well as their co-troops who are doing the same thing side-by-side. They have seen and still are seeing such pain and suffering not to mentnion the missions they have to go on and kill others to protect themselves. The stress levels alone must sky rocket.

I find this to be silly and down right pushy of our government to worry about such crap in the military. If they want to smoke, let them smoke. Who cares. They say the smoking is harmful to them. I say the war is more harmful for them. They are already putting themselves in harms way by joining the military. But if it was not for men and woman joining, where would we be now? These people that go around and try to make such changes in ones life…..some may not want it. We, like I said, are suppose to be a free country. To do what we wish in the eyes of the law. Smoking I feel is no one’s business if one wishes to smoke. To ban it in resteraunts and bars, okay, but the military? What the heck? Leave our military alone and let them fight for us. Stop being so liberal and stop trying to pass laws that really should be overlooked. How about getting rid of the death row inmates where our taxes are paying to keep them alive and over crowding our prisons. Stop giving other countries our money to help rebuild them and focus on our houses and homes and people here in the United States. Let’s focus on working on our economy so so many are not losing their homes and ones who are ill or terminally ill to loose their medical coverage. Let’s pull together as a union in our own country and help our own people for a chance. Let’s pass a law where our government can’t take from us people to support these organization which are trying to change our country to a dictatorship country.

I just got so mad when I heard of this trying to be passed on to our military men and woman. It makes no sense. What would happen to those who do smoke and then they suddenly have to stop? The stress is bad enough. What are your opinions on this? It boggles my mind to no end. Like I said, smoking is bad for your health, but this is rediculous if you ask me.
I did not mean to say it was a law, but they want to ban our military from smoking cigaretts, cigars, and so forth. And I did read it in my local news paper the other day.
I understand smoking is bad for your health, but my arguement is this and this alone, these men and woman are over fighting for our rights and freedom, who cares if they smoke? The stress alone in the military and what they are trying to uphold for us is unbarable. Does it really matter if they smoke or not? Just makes no sense to me at all. I can think of other things to argue then this. We do not need dictatorship in our country. Some smoke and some do not, what makes non-smokers word more powerful then one who wants to smoke? It always takes ones who feel they are so perfect to ruin it for others who want to do what they want to do. Non-smokers do not understand the withdrawls one goes through when quitting smoking. Imagin all these men and woman with weapons trying to stop? Leave them alone.
I got an idea, everyone who has ever broke the 10 commandments or the ones who have subjected themselves to commit any of the Seven Sins should all go to and live their lives until they die in the FEMA prisons. Never to be released to society agian. Keep them locked up and throw away the keys. Makes sense to me. Then maybe we will all stop judging or passing judgement onto one another and only worry about ourselves and not what others are doing. People who try to live by the rules or make others live by others rules only cause havock.
