I have to quit smoking now, going out of the state to visit family for the weekend? -
I know my family would be very upset to know i smoke, my dad has been lecturing me my entire life not to, while he smokes two packs a day, i have been smoking for four years now, i need advice on how to drive with him for nine hours and be with him all weekend with out smoking and with out being a complete *****, please help! no bull **** answers necessary
thats tough!!! i smoke too. i know i shouldn-t...but i do! heres what i would do...i agree with the gum situation. stock up! make sure you have snacks to snack on while in the car. especially finger foods to keep your hands busy. pretzels work especially well. also, while you are not eating...try bringing books, magazines, crosswords, etc. to get your mind off of it. as for when you are there, try to keep as busy as possible! (i think the car will be the most challenging.) hope i helped!

If you-re ready to quit smoking, try going to the doctor, or take some kind of medication.
Bring lots of gum with you, and always have it in your mouth!
Its going to be hard, but buy you some nicotine patches and chew plenty of gum...just go for a walk or practice some deep breathing exercises when your nerves feel like they are getting the best of you! Good luck!
Use the patch, lozenges, or gum. It works. You-ll still want one, but you-ll only be dealing with the craving psychologically, not physically.
Be an adult and fess up. I seriously doubt that you-ll be able to make it all that time without smoking and without having withdrawls. If you-re old enough to buy the cigarettes (I-m assuming you are) then why are you hiding it? They may be upset, and for good reason, but they-ll get over it. And maybe the 2 of you can work on quitting together.
