Will I be okay? i did something bad?

Question

i did something really bad two hours ago.

I smoked TWO Parliment Light cigarettes. I only did it because I'm extremely stressed out and out of energy. I feel horrible. I can't breathe. My heart is beating kinda fast too. I won't smoke again (maybe one or two cigs more until finals are done). Tell me I'll be okay.

i'm okay now.

and yeah, i DO feel guilty.

Answer 1

Don't smoke ever again. You'll be alright though. Your heart may be beating fast due to anxiety.

Answer 2

The consequences of smoking may seem very far off to many teens, but long-term health problems aren't the only hazard of smoking. Nicotine and the other toxins in cigarettes, cigars, and pipes can affect a person's body quickly, which means that teen smokers experience many of these problems:

Bad skin. Because smoking restricts blood vessels, it can prevent oxygen and nutrients from getting to the skin - which is why smokers often appear pale and unhealthy. An Italian study also linked smoking to an increased risk of getting a type of skin rash called psoriasis.
Bad breath. All those cigarettes leave smokers with a condition called halitosis, or persistent bad breath.
Bad-smelling clothes and hair. The smell of stale smoke tends to linger - not just on people's clothing, but on their hair, furniture, and cars. And it's often hard to get the smell of smoke out.
Reduced athletic performance. People who smoke usually can't compete with nonsmoking peers because the physical effects of smoking - like rapid heartbeat, decreased circulation, and shortness of breath - impair sports performance.
Greater risk of injury and slower healing time. Smoking affects the body's ability to produce collagen, so common sports injuries, such as damage to tendons and ligaments, will heal more slowly in smokers than nonsmokers.
Increased risk of illness. Studies show that smokers get more colds, flu, bronchitis, and pneumonia than nonsmokers. And people with certain health conditions, like asthma, become more sick if they smoke (and often if they're just around people who smoke). Because teens who smoke as a way to manage weight often light up instead of eating, their bodies lack the nutrients they need to grow, develop, and fight off illness properly.

Answer 3

No, no no no, no....learn some self control! Deep down you know you shouldn't have because now you are feeling guilty. WHy don't you try to find some other way to relieve some stress? I'll take it easy on you since I know it is hard to quit smoking(i do not smoke though).

Answer 4

you are not a smoker and should not start, i made the mistake a couple of months before my 35th birthday and got sick also. but after the sickness left i smoked again and have been ever since and wish that i never did. you are feeling the results of the nicotine in the cigarette. just breath in fresh air and after awhile you will feel good again.but don't do as i did and smoke again .

Answer 5

if you cant breathe, go to a doctor. otherwise, go outside and get some fresh air. if that doesnt work, lie on your back with your arms stretched out toward your head, that wors when your breath is knocked out of you, it might help you, but im not sure. But the best thing is to go to a doctor. 2 cigarrettes most likely cannot kill you.

Answer 6

You will be just fine. I have smoked for many yrs. Its a really bad habit. Dont let it turn into a habit with you. You would be better to never pick up another one ever.

Answer 7

I think you will live.... unless you are allergic to nicotine then that could be bad. You might want to get that checked out if you feel like your throat is closing or itching. But you need to keep inmind that nicotine is a stimulant and it will make your heart race.

Answer 8

Yes

Answer 9

Answer 10

You'll be fine. That's just the buzz. Relax, take deep breaths.
