Help to quit smoking? -
I-m 14 and smoking, I need help to quit, any suggestions or opinions?
I-m 24 and I started at 16 and am still a smoker, much to my dismay. I can-t quit for longer than a week. Don-t get like me. I go through a pack and a half a day. Go cold turkey, avoid the smell of smoke, and distract yourself by finding new hobbies or anything else to take your mind off the craving.
I-m in the same boat. A year ago I stopped for about 5 months, I used the pills Chantix. I ended up smoking again and am now trying to quit. I agree with some of the others, trying to keep busy. Alot of the times the craving would pass if I tried to think about something else.
I used store brand, generic nicotine patches, going through all 3 steps. They worked fine, but I also found it helpful to take vitamins and herbal supplements which help keep the mind clear, alert, and focused which is what cigs do! B-vitamins, omega oils, calcium, ginkgo biloba, gotu kola. Don-t drink coffee!!! You may also feel better if you eat more fruits and veggies, and drink lots of water, which detoxifies your body.
It can be kind of expensive but my mom quit using one of the patches. Try keeping yourself busy when you want to smoke. Eat candy, chew gum, something like that. Maybe even just try calling someone or talking to someone to get your mind off it you know? Try reminding yourself that if you can get through the next few minutes without it you won-t need it. You are stronger than the cigs, you just have to prove that to yourself, okay? :)
And actually if you need support or need to talk/vent to get your mind of stuff or smoking itself feel free to msg me anytime

Just STOP. I managed to do it.
You need to change your outlook on smoking, remember when you first started smoking, when it tasted like crap, and you coughed your lungs out? But you kept telling yourself how great it was to smoke, and you patted yourself on the back for smoking?
You have to do the same thing when quitting, You have to pat yourself on the back every day that your not smoking, and be proud of it.
Have your parents hole you up in room for two weeks no smokin. play video games or something. I quit smoking by using nicotene gum and steel will. and a nagging wife/family
stop buying them

well everytime i had the urge to smoke i played video games...i kept very busy when i needed a smoke...so i wouldnt think of it..dont know if it will work for you but it worked for me
Just let it go. Tell your self you don-t need it over and over. I would cut down gradually before you quit, you won-t crave one as much.
At 14 I can-t imagine it-s very easy for you to obtain them. But just don-t get them anymore, it-s a lot of will power. After the first day, your body doens-t physically crave the nicotine anymore so it-s all will power after that. Try to keep yourself busy, buy candy, toothpicks, popsicles, whatever works for you. Eventually you won-t even feel the urge to smoke during triggers.
if you haven-t been smoking long then just chew gum and work out a lot to keep your mind off of smoking also stop hanging out with whatever friends got you into smoking in the first place. it-s totally not cool and it doesn-t make you more grown up i have a lung problem myself and trust me buddy you don-t want one of those you should be more respectful of your body and not take it for granted. it-s the only one you-ll get. but anyway if that-s all not enough my husband used the patch to quit smoking and he had been smoking for 12 years and it-s been 3 or 4 years now and he never has touched another cigarette, so they work pretty well. I-m not saying it will be easy but you can do it just be strong and hang in there and think about the good you-ll be doing for yourself, others, and the planet! you-ll be in my prayers. good luck.
Do you know what smoking can do to you as a teen? Teenagers who smoke are often bad at sports, don’t necessarily aspire to go to college and tend to skip class more. Many teens who smoke also start using other illegal drugs and they begin experimenting with alcohol. Statistics show that nicotine is considered the number one entrance drug leading into other drug abuse problems. So if you don-t want to be in more trouble, stop smoking now!

how the heell do you get them?
Stop cold turkey. It is the only way--no patches or gum and definitely NO CHEW! Don-t wean yourself, just quit. If you wean, you are still giving your brain the chemicals. I forget the correct psychological term but you are still giving your brain what it wants speratically, and the only way to stop is cold turkey.
Just stop. Dont even think about smoking.
It-s really up to your mind on how much you want to push on kicking the habit. Its tough and everyone is different, many people will tell you many suggestions, but you only have to pick one for yourself and go with it. Life will go on for you. Keep it simple.
good luck
Hello Kyle.
I used sunflower seeds as a substitute an it helped immensely...that took care of the hand to mouth motion and gave me something to do with my mouth too. I ended up with sunflower seed shells everywhere...but I am still a non smoker 12 years later.
It-s only hard for a few days.
