quiting smoking

Good luck snowqueen! You know I'm rooting for you. I know you can do it!

Oh Snow, I am so sorry that your health and breathing is so bad that you have to use oxygen. You can quit, have faith in yourself. The first thing is the "real" desire to quit. You are doing it the right way. Change your habits, thats how I did it. I put off that first cig in the morning for hours. I also put off the after eating cig. You can do it, I have faith in you.

hi snowqueen i hope that you do have the strength and conviction in you to really carry out your promise to stop...as for me, i too have been failing at my attempts to stop smoking. my health isn't getting any better because of it please do stay well and get healthy....and keep up the strength to really stop smoking this time

i have tried quitting a couple of times already but in both instances i ended up smoking again after a while. perhaps it was due to misconception that quitting should be done gradually as it might pose intolerable withdrawal symptoms. But according to a doctor just recently, there is a new approach now which is to stop smoking abruptly, right there and then. Good Luck! :D

i have tried it a couple of times already but at both instances i ended up smoking again after a while. well, perhaps i lack the will or perhaps i was misinformed or had this wrong belief that quitting smoking should be done gradually which i think doesn't really worked at all. as i have heard a doctor when interviewed about it, he said the new approached now is to stop smoking abruptly, right there and then. Good luck!

I am also a smoker before but I did stopping it. I think the best way to stop it is to make yourself busy all the time. Don't make yourself stressful because this leads you to smoking more. You can also have gums or candies to sooth your cravings in smoking. Those are the only things I've done to quit in my smoking habit.

They say that each time you quit you have a better chance of success. It took my dad many tries. I hated the fact that my parents smoked so much that I never started, and I am really glad about that. I will say a little prayer for your success. If you quit smoking will you be able to quit the oxygen?

snow why are you waiting til then, you have to be on oxygen my God smoking with oxygen around you could damned well blow yourself to kingdom Come, did not you know that oxygen is horribly explosive, just dropping an oxygene tank can sometimes set it off as nurses in hospitals are well aware. Most people on oxygen have to quit immediately because of the proximity of flame and oxygen.Stop at once, theres no other way that works as well as going cold turkey.Just visualize a flame from a match and a stream of oxygen coming together in one big blast that should make you want to not smoke again right now.Did you ever see no smoking signs in patients rooms who are on oxygen? I wou ld have thought your doctor should have warned you not to be on ocygen and smoke., its really dangerous.

I know it can be really hard but if you can all the best to you I never smoke because my parents said I have a pointed head for the smoke to come out!!! that's why I never did now I am in my 60s my brothers all smoke and my sister did to my own daughter dose as well I guess I was the smart one, cd

well you should be determined to stop. And once you stop, you must not go back or your stopping will not help anything. it takes years to let your body recover from the effects of smoking.

don't wait for tomorrow for what you can do for today! next week, or next month is the same for today..why you wait for another day if you could do it now? have faith on your self to do this and stick to your dis cession and stand for it..actually this is for your own good not for other..Good Luck

I started smoking at a very young age. I quit when I got pregnant with my daughter at 23 then picked them right back up. I quit a second time a few years later after being put on wellbutrin for about a year. My mother had a heart attack and had to have quadruple bypass surgery so I picked them up because I was stressed out. I quit again when I got pregnant with my son at 29 and did not smoke for nearly 3 years. To make a long story short I started again because of something tragic that happened recently. I do not smoke a lot but I know if I do not stop soon It will increase. I intend to quit myself soon and very soon. This time I am determined and will make it happen. You can do it and so can I. Try to find something else to focus on. I am not a fan of using medicine but talk to your doctor if you have trouble quitting on your own and maybe he/she can give you some options. Wellbutrin (Zyban) helped me and I am about to get back on it. Best Wishes.

Definitely, you can do it girl. As long as you are determined to do so, just always concern about yourself and always pray to god that you will succeed to the goal that you set. Cheer up! and raise the roof! Amen God bless!!

I have also realised the difficulty of quiting smoking as i have tried plenty of times but the best way to quite is patches
