Have to quit smoking, 21 years old and smoke 2+ packs a day?
April 23rd, 2011
I’ve gradually started smoking more and more over the years and now I am at at least 2 packs a day and I am only 21. I’ve quick twice, each for about a month, then came back. And a few times for just like a day, each time using the patch, the strongest 24 hour patch, and wore one on each arm. I need help, I get winded at work very easily. I work in construction, where you can smoke inside most of the time, so I am constianly around it, which makes it even more difficult. I think it is also stunting my wieght gain, I want to gain weight but I remain skinny. I smoked about a lifetime’s worth of marijuana in 2 years, and that was 10 times easier to quit. Please help me

Go to a Hospital and ask to visit the Cancer treatment center. Talk to some of the people there about smoking. Ask them about the pain and agony of facing death or life altering chemo-drugs. If that doesn’t make you want to quit, then nothing will.
Now, this may sound silly, but there are hypnotists that specialize in helping people to quit smoking. You can find them online, and there is also acupuncture. I’ve heard amazing things about that. I am not a smoker but I have loved ones that are and are trying desperately to quit. Also, welbutrin is a pill to help people stop and apparently, it works. So, give it a try! Good luck!!
From 16 to 28 years I smoked about 150 to 200 cigarettes a day. Quit abruptly in 1967 and never smoked since then.
Fear is the key. Read all you can about smoking. Technical literature, not popular.
Before that tried every technique suggested; did not work.
The chapter on Habits in William James’s ‘Text Book of Psychology’ helped.
That you kicked your marijuana habit should show you that you have what it takes to do it.

I know this may sound weird, but Bananas can help people trying to give up smoking. The B-6 and B-12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
I started smoking cigarettes at age 14 and quit 15 months ago. I’m 78 now, so that’s 63 years of a serious nicotine habit. It was so cool back then and everybody smoked. Labored breathing began to scare me into panic attacks, for which I was taking proscribed Xanax, and to which I was then also addicted. My daughter called 911 on the night I couldn’t breathe after just walking from the bathroom to my bed, and I had my first ride in an ambulance. Pretty damned frightening! Anyway, keeping me in the hospital 6 days was, I discovered later, a conspiracy between my daughter and the doctor, but it did the trick. I then weaned myself off Xanax and now, my only vice is my sexy dreams. People tell me I seem about 10 years younger and happier and wow, I can now take the money I save on smokes to Vegas, which is just a minor little vice.
