Ive only been smoking for two years, and I would like to quit… its very hard to stop this nasty habit, Anyone have any suggestions/methods on how to quite without quitting cold turkey, or using the patch? Its way to expensive for me…
But smoking has become my biggest addiction. Im tired of spending the money on cigarrettes and polluting my body…also what can I do to get my husband to stop smoking or atleast stop smoking around me once I quit because he is hard headed..because I know if he smokes it will be to easy to give in to temptation…
why is everyone so harsh about smoking its not like Im announcing Im a smoker and Im proud that I hurt my body… I know I cant make my husband stop smoking but it would be nice to give me some suggestions on how to talk to him about not smoking around me or something like that. Non smokers get very angry at this type of question, I know what it does to my body and my teeth and thats one of the biggest reasons I want to quit. It just seems rude to judge someone when they are trying to better themselves
I do appreciate the help, I just dont understand why people are using my question to harp at me about smoking when I want to stop, but for those of you who have offered some good advice I do appreciate it thanks

Smoke Quitter asked:


my boyfriend has been smoking for 10 years now, and he has decided to quit last year. but lately he puffs 3x to relieve his chest pains. will this in anyway help him really get the nicotine out of his system?
My bf had smoked for 10 yrs. He stopped Apr 2006. He gradually reduced his consumption until he only puffs 2x a month or whenever he feels chestpains (withdrawal symptoms). It’s been 12months now, is it still advisable to take some puffs once in a while?

FYI he doesnt crave for a cigar. Can last 1 month without a stick. But then when he has chest pains decides to get a puff.

Is this just normal? Or should I tell him to endure the pain and not smoke. Is this possible? Or all quitters get through this pain with the same solution (of occassional puffing) ?

thank you for all those who replied. Really great help for me.

It’s been three months and I am gaining at a rapid speed, I have tried to stay relaxed about it because quitting smoking is really hard but I was wondering if the quitting affects my metabolism, if it’s normal to gain, and if it ever levels off or will i have to work out daily for the rest of my life (which i will never, ever do). Thanks.

I’ve decided to quit smoking today – but rather than using nicotine replacement gum or patches I was wondering whether anyone knows any natural remedies that work just as well?

I haven’t just randomly quit I decided last week and decided today was the start!

Thanks :o )

PlasticTrees asked:


My smoking is pretty bad. I started in 2004 @ age 19 as a social smoker, now I’m hitting 2 packs a day.

When I quit I want to go to sleep for 8-9 hours so that my body will have a head start on getting it out of my system. BUT, I dread how my body will react. Any idea of what it’ll be like?
