i dont want my friends to find out either because i live in a very small town and there are only 93 people in our whole school(kindergarten-grade12!)and everyone would find out. all my friends say that they would never smoke. i know that if they found out they would stay away from me. the reason i started smoking is cuz my 15 yr. old boy friend made me try it now i am hooked. but then he had to move to Ontario and i really miss him! anyways how can i stop smoking!!!???

Birth is an appropriate age to stop using. That being said, IMO college is the last appropriate time in one's life to use. And if you're not going to college? WELL MAYBE THIS IS WHY. Why bother smoking before bed, because you're not even getting the benefit of it! Geez, it's like ordering Pay-Per-View and then going to sleep, you're not even enjoying it! Dude, you're 18. You THINK you have stressful issues. You don't know stress until you're 40, got a mortgage you can't afford, living paycheck to paycheck, working at a factory about to get shut down, got 2 kids to feed, and you're worried that one of them is in high school and MIGHT BE ON DRUGS. That's stress. I'm 29, and haven't smoked since college. Many of my friends still smoke, and offer me some every now and then. Hate to sound like one of those after school specials, but I just say no. I have nothing against it, but I just find it pointless. Over-the-counter uppers, on the other hand...

The answers that you're seeing are actually right. The most successful stop smoking method is going Cold Turkey. It's the most successful by FAR. But you have to be to the point of disgust where you're ready to make the decision to just stop.

think about how much damage you're doin to yourself - you're not grown-up yet so your lungs are still sort of fragile, right? think how smoking can ruin your life and how every second it pushes you towards danger. from smoking, somehow you're also ruining other's lives, cuz people who inhale the smoke and the stench in the air are in more danger than the smoker him/herself. keep away from those pack of cigarettes and carry around a pack of
candies instead. you know you're in danger but therez also a solution so why not follow that and be in the safe side?

admit you cant control it and its destroying your health ask a power greater than yourself to restore your thinking and make a decision to turn your will and your life over to the care of god, every time the craving comes up ask god to help you and go for a jog when the anger comes up to improve your lungs and rise up above it, also 1 minute at a time , one hour at a time, one breath at a time, i will not smoke , ones to many a thousands not enough, dont pick up the first one, focus on counting your breaths and try to completely lie still and relax for say 10-20 mins while tuning in to the natural rythme of your breathing, to deal with stress and remember the longer you smoke the harder it is to give up... strengthen your will power, its very hard. god bless you.

Simple...don't buy them anymore. I smoked for more years than you have been alive, then five years ago I simply quit buying them and threw the pack I had out the window of my car. It was one of the best things I have ever done for myself.

if it's not realistic to go cold turkey, gradually cut down on the number of smokes you have everyday. don't worry if your plan doesn't go the way you want it to.....they don't say smoking is an addiction for nothing.
