How do I quit smoking !? -
I-ve been smoking for 2 years and i-m 19, I know it-s not to late to quit, and I would really like to.
Let me just start by saying it is definitely not too late! Good for you for wanting to quit before your lungs are black!
I-m not going to lie, it really really sucks. I am a pretty moody person anyways, but when I quit I was HORRIBLE. The terrible mood gets better after a week or two however.
If you think you-re actually addicted to nicotine, patches or gum wouldn-t hurt. You-re old enough to buy them legally, but they-re a little on the expensive side.
Just keep yourself busy. Go for a walk. Carry a massive water bottle around and take a drink every time you want a cigarette. If you-re worried about weight gain switch to a vegetarian or vegan diet for a few weeks. If you miss having something in your hand, hold a pen. If you miss having something in your mouth keep a stick of gum in your mouth at all times.
I found it helped to come up with a list of reasons why you want to quit to keep yourself motivated. Just think -- your hair and clothes won-t smell like smoke! Your breath and teeth will improve! You will decrease your chances for a lot of diseases! You-ll save a TON of money!
Find your triggers. Mine were driving and drinking. I found that while driving if Icranked up the most obnoxious song on my iPod to a deafening level it drowned out the craving. I had to just completely avoid alcohol for a month, there was no way I could have drank without smoking in the beginning.
Just remember it is possible! If you slip up don-t give up, smoking one or two cigarettes does not qualify you as a smoker again! Good luck!
Well youre definitely not alone
