I've heard from quite a few people that the nicotine patch/gum (or whatever it's called) works.
my 65yr old uncle who started smoking since he was 12 was able to quit by using it and he hasn't had a cigarette for 2 yrs now. but again maybe the fact that he tried to do it for his grandchildren helped even more... so why not try quitting for someone/or something you like. You are a singer and should know about the benefits from quitting. anyways good luck! :) |
I agree. Even if ppl tell u they get an infection from using the patch or a rash or other BS. Just sterilize the area where you're gonna put the patch with Rubbing alcohol and presto!:happy2: |

hey man...Do what you want. If it makes you happy, then smoke! you know what I mean? It's like if you like sex, then do it, if you like drinking then do it. You like taking drugs, then do it...as long as your not affecting anybody else, do what makes you happy. If we all listened to everything the media tells us (like smoking gives you cancer, Drinking gives you liver damage..blah blah blah) then life would be pretty dam boring. Now, I am not saying go out and not listen to anyone, I mean it is bad for you, but as long as you know that, then it.
I smoke, Drink , and do all the fun stuff, hell I think I am a better person for it. But we are young, we can experiment and do these things without much side affects. When it becomes a life long habit that's the problem. Never deny yourself pleasure. |

^^ouch! thats pretty harsh...
If you really wanna quit smoking then you will. The brain is a powerful thing, and you can use it to your advantage.. You know that saying you can do anything if you pput your mind to it? It's so damn true you dont even know! Just make sure you want it bad enough.. go over all the reasons why you WANT to quit in your head, and think about them hard. Then just see yourself as a non-smoker! Cold turkey is the way to do... and dont look back!
Another good thing is changing your eating habits and lifestyle. How active a person are you? Well GET active, have lots of sex, run, do whatever, and eat HEALTHY, you'll find that you wont be able to smoke even if you wanted to after that! If you get in good shape, you'll feel sick and light headed with every drag you take... Trust me ;)
And BEST of luck to you!

P.S: Try taking everyone's advice at once, you can't go wrong! |

Ive never smoked. But have tried getting my friends to. One of my friends and I have an agreement. If I EVER see him with a smoke, I am allowed to break it. Even if he says that he has giving up trying to quit, I am still allowed to break his smokes.
You can do the same, just tell everyone you know and hang-out with to break your smokes if you start to light up, and eventually it will get to the point where you cant smoke cause everyone will be after you.
I also took Oncology at University, and learned why it was bad to smoke. I will share it with everyone with the hopes that it will scare enough people away from cigaretttes.
Anyway, cigarettes and cigarette smoke contains a chemical called Benzo[a]pyrene. That being said, there is a gene in all human cells that codes for a protein called p53. p53 is renowned as a tumour suppressor because it acts to kill the cell if it becomes or has the potential to become cancerous (it has anti-proliferative properties - ie it stops cells from rapid replication).
Benzo[a]pyrene is known to mutate p53 at specific sites in the DNA that encodes it. If both copies of p53 (each cell has 2, one from your mother and one from your father) are mutated, you have a cell that loses its p53, and therefore loses one of the cells best built in ways to defeat cancer.
90% of lung cancers are a result of cigarette smoke, and has a 5 year survival rate below 15% for all types.

This is not meant to scare anyone, just to inform. |

you obviously must have taken one too many and don't have much brain cells left to think. |
haha..13 posts and flaming senoir members already I see. Obviosuly you don't want to make friends on this board.
Maybe you should try to, I am sure you don't have many in real life with a mouth like that. I believe that people should be free to do what they want. Even your stupidity is ok by me, it just shows how much of an imbecile you are. (You need a definition on that)?
If you don't agree with me, then state that in a intelligent manner, not just spouting off like we were in Grade 3. We try to keep the board free from lamers, keep it up, because if you do, you won't be welcome here anymore.
BTW, I am sure someone will introduce you to me at [email protected]'ll make sure and have a smoke for ya. |

you really scared me.
last i checked Waxen is determined to quit smoking and was asking for suggestions and support, she wasn't asking if it was a good idea to quit. so if you can't support her decision, keep your heresay to yourself. |
