How to Quit Smoking for Good

Posts Tagged ‘health’

My dad has been smoking for over 30 years. He smokes probably around 40-50 cigarettes per day.
I know about the harmful substances in cigarettes and I’ve talked to him about what they do to people’s health, he still doesn’t care. I don’t want to lose my dad. How can I get him to quit smoking?

They’ve been smoking my whole life, and I’ve tried every way to get them to stop. My Mom is all for quitting but she can’t quit if Dad doesn’t, you know… ’cause of the temptation. Dad would just yell at me if I asked him to quit and I don’t see any way to get him to quit without him being cooperative enough to not yell at me when I ask him to. I’m concerned for my mothers health and mine also (you know, the whole secondhand smoke thing).

Thanks in advance,
Guin

My girlfriend smokes. I want her to quit. She doesn’t do it around me but I can always smell it and I just hate how it can effect her health. I have tried to use guilt, saying how its unhealthy to everyone but she just gets pissed when anyone tries to lecture her. she knows how bad it is and she kind of wants to quit. besides her smoking she is the most amazing girl ever.

Sian Welby talks to Dr Chris Steele about the addictive and harmful effects of nicotine. Dr Chris explains that nicotine is, milligram for milligram, more addictive than heroin and cocaine. Within 7 seconds of drawing on a cigarette the nicotine will be acting on the brain. This is why it can be so hard to quit. One in two of all smokers will be killed by it. It is the most dangerous consumer product available on the market. Nicotine itself is not dangerous, but when you smoke you breath in more than 4000 other chemicals – this is what makes it lethal. With smoking still growing among your girls, there is a big health issue here. Although the smoking ban is helping, the enduring appeal of the “cool” look associated with cigarettes makes them attractive to young people. But there is help. Nicotine replacement treatments can remove the craving for cigarettes, without damaging your health. Also available on prescription are treatments such as Zyban and Champix.

My friend has been smoking for 7 years and she knows that’s it’s bad for her health, and etc. Sometimes she wants to quit but sometimes not. She’s tried quitting a couple of times. Once with a patch, once with the nicotine gum, but then she starts again. I really want to help but she says she’s really addicted, and too stressed out to be able to quit, and that she also doesn’t want to gain weight. I don’t know how to make her want to quit so bad that she would. Please help!!
