Hey Everyone
I am a smoker~I am 27 yrs old and have smoked since I was 15 or 16???
My health is bad~plus on both sides of my family there is cancer and my Father died of a heart attack when I was 14 yrs old.
I already know all the reasons why I shouldn't smoke and how truly bad it is for me and others around me.But I am asking any ex smokers out here to give me some tips that helped them cut back, and quit eventually.Cold turkey is not a good idea my Dr told me cuz of the amount of stress I have in my life (and some stress we can't just kicjk out the door now can we?) So any tips out there to atleast help cut back that has been affective for anyone? Hope you can help:)

I am not a smoker but I just want to share with you about my grandmother who is a smoker before. We kept on giving her advices to leave that kind of vice since it is not good for her health as well as of the people around her. We helped her out found a hobby to leave smoking. We accompany her to videoke bars, parks, malls and a lot more just to forget smoking and We are happy that after years of smoking she quit it already and now living a healthy lifestyle.
Find other things that you can do instead of smoking. If you feel stress just relax, take a deep breath or do yoga instead of smoking. Just my opinion. d=)

I'll tell you what I tell everyone else who tries to quit smoking. You'll never be able too, your a smoker and that's just the way it is. You don't have the will power to stop, if you did you would have already. Sorry.
