Quit smoking?

Ok here is the skivy. I smoked from about 17-20 not all the time but i would have maybe 2 a day, so i guess you can say i was a casual smoker. Well then when i met my x-husband he made me quite, so i did cold turkey. No pills, gum nothing. Then about a year ago i started back up around the time i was going threw my divorce. So now i’m 26 and its been about a year since i started again. Again i’m still a casual smoker, but i prob. go threw about 10 of them when i’m out drinking. Not smoking during the day or when i’m sitting at home is not an issue, thou when i do have a stressful day i’ll light one up, but its just this bad habit when i’m out having a few that i want to stop all together! I know some of you may say stop drinking, but its not like i go out every night, its just maybe one day a week, and then maybe once on the weekend. So i’m wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what i can do with out taken over the counter meds or contacing my doc to quite! Thanks

How long after you quit smoking will your lungs be completely healed?

I was a daily smoker, but only about once or twice a day, and I used filtered and low-tar cigarettes. Some days I would skip because I wasn’t feeling up for it. Smoking was a habit for me for about 15 years and I quit 5 years ago. How long will it take for my lungs to be completely clean?

Quit Smoking!?

Does anyone have any new/creative/interesting or sucessful tricks or ideas on how to quit smoking? I’ve been smoking for abou 2-3 years now and when my mom died at the age of 47 from lung cancer (though hers was not smoking related), I promised her I would quit. Just recently I found out her mother has emphysethmia, and my father is also a smoker (for many years) and is short of breath often. (He lives with me so it is tough when I decide to quit, if he still smokes). Also, I had a PE, or Pulmonary Embolism (blood clot in the lung) in the past 2 years that could’ve been fatal, and I have a 3 year old who I want to live a long healthy life for. No, I don’t smoke around her. Plus, I just don’t enjoy smoking anymore, b/c of the smell, the health risks, it gives me headaches, but the nicotine has got a strong hold on me. Please help if you can! Thank you!
First off, I am an adult so I have been to school and gone through health classes that showed pictures of dieased lungs, so obviously that didn’t work. Do you know what is worse than looking at those pics? Seeing your own mom die from lung cancer. And to tell the truth, when I started smoking, I didn’t care about myself or my body. Thank you to the serious and non-offensive people. I am only human and I make mistakes too. I am now trying to rectify that.
Natalie, someone as dim as u r should’ve been able to spell the word stupid since u probably hear it often. Anyway, try growing up in a house in which your parents smoke and make it seem like it’s no big deal.
