Answer 1

It varies from smoker to smoker. Some can just try once and succeed. Some keep trying and trying (and are still trying)! It's best to join a "smoking cessation" class or support group...they are very helpful. These classes teach you what to expect when you quit, how to fight cravings, and other things. Some even offer patches and pills to help you quit...

Answer 2

I just want to tell you that I for one totally understand and feel yoru frustration. I hope you are taking something to help you quit??? I would recommend the patch if you don't already have something. There was a whole program on Oprah yesterday about how bad smoking is to quit. They actually said smoking was worse than a heroin addict. I have been struggled with this addiction for such a long time, I quit, went back, etc...I recently thought I could control it and just have a few. The truth is once the nicotine is in your system your brain/body keeps wanting more. The longer you are away from them the less you will crave one. I work for family and 2 other girls here smoke all day long. I go home everyday smelling of it, and that makes it hard too. But, it's a life change, they are running your life. Don't let the ciggs control you, and you can't control it on your own. You need support, you and your bf should be helping each other. They also said it is very effective to use the tools to help you quit. I wish you much luck and know how frustrating and mind boggling it can be. But, it is a change for the better, you will live longer and healthier. You have so much time now to change your whole life. This is one of the hardest things you will ever do, but when its all said and done you will be so thankful and feel so empowered. Just think what you can do once you've conquered this!!! I seriously wish you all the best of luck and know how hard it is, just try and take it one day at a time. If it helps you think one hour at a time, you got through this hour now the next. I promise it gets easier the longer you have been away from it. The hardest part are the first few weeks:)

Answer 3

Quitting smoking is very difficult for some people, especially since your body becomes dependant on the nicotine. It's really like quitting an addiction. When I quit it was very difficult...I was moody & miserable for about a week, & I actually got sick after a couple days. I don't know if that was a coincidence or it had something to do with my body re-adjusting to life without nicotine. You will have cravings that you will have to get through. The only way I could deal with this is by statring a new habit to replace the old one, but something that won't be so harmful to your body... like chewing gum.
I say if you're asking this question you should do it now. The sooner the better. People always try to find excuses why they should wait & I think that's only because they are scared that they don't think they can do it. Afterward you will feel so much better healthwise, you will be able to breathe better, your immune system will be stronger & you will be extending your health & your life expectancy. It will also make you feel a great sense of accomplishment to achieve such a difficult goal.
Good luck to you!

Answer 5

Quitting is different for everyone.
I smoked for about 18 years and tried to quit a few times and it was HARD.
But last time was easier. I had a cold and sore throat and decided it was a good time to stop.
It's also easier when you are not hanging out with other people who smoke!
(otherwise you get this faulty thinking - 'if it's ok for them to smoke, it must be ok for me!")

YES. Quitting makes many people feel angry or irritable. The worst of it probably between 48 hours and 1 week. This is when the body is going through the nicotine withdrawal.
Some people struggle for years and think about smoking still and crave it, and other people just put it down and never think about it again.

If someone keeps thinking about starting to smoke again, just think "i am becoming free of being a SLAVE to nicotine, rather than thinking they are giving UP something (good)

I got breast cancer 1 year ago at age 33. My partner is still smoking. Drives me crazy, but I can't make him stop. Only he can do that.
It is a powerful addiction.

Good luck

Answer 6

Successfully stopping tobacco is difficult because nicotine addiction is really one of if not the most powerful addiction. Nicotine is psychoactive (makes you feel better) and these 'positive' effects are difficult to give up. Will power is often a myth in quitting all forms of addiction as you probably know by experience. Most smokers have quit hundreds of times only to go back when the craving becomes to severe. There are stories of people quitting 'cold turkey'. i did but most often it fails. If you have a serious addiction to nicotine and cannot stop try a smoke enders group. Smoking also has alot to with behavior and the group therapy in these types of groups addresses these issues. You may also need a nicotine replacement for a period of time but that is best prescribed. If you want some motivation consider this, there are to date about 4,200 identified chemicals in a cigarette!! Look it up. Good luck to you.

Answer 7

It takes a good month before it's a habit of not smoking. My Mom stopped smoking just recently when my Dad had a heart attack. He could no longer be around second hand smoke. She made a bargain with God that she would stop smoking if he made it. She bought a lot of gum and lollypops and has not smoked for 2 months now. If you can't do it alone, see about getting a patch or other aid. good luck.

Answer 8

A couple years ago, my dad landed in the hospital because of smoking, and he smoked from at least age 20 (if not a few years before that) up until his 40's, and quit cold turkey the day he got in the hospital. Hasn't smoked since

Answer 9

I never smoked, but I've always heard that it's really not easy because of all the cravings you get. But it also depends on the person of how fast they can quit smoking.
