Help to stop smoking, calling ex-smokers!?!
Question: Help to stop smoking, calling ex-smokers!?
Yes, I am very, very ashamed of this - I have reasons that may of led me to trying smoking which then turned to my addiction. I've been smoking for 3 years now and I am about to undergo sugery in a months time - my doctor told me to stop smoking as it reduces the amount that the scar I will be left with would heal. I have the gums, patches and the inhaler but nothing seems to work as it doesn't give me the 'direct hit' smoking usually would.
I would appreciate help from ex-smokers or people trying to stop as well!

I smoked when I was 14 to about 17. I just stop cold turkey, but not everyone can do that. My boyfriend smoked for over 10 years and he has now stopped for a year. He got patches and used them as it said to and then he bought dum dum suckers and carried 4 or 5 with him all the time so that when he had the urge to put a cigarette to his mouth he would just take out a sucker instead. It really worked for him. Also he told everyone to not give him a cigarette or let him buy any. I hope this helped and good luck with quitting.
im 15 and i started last year, ive just quit, basically i didnt buy them. i guess its probably easier to stop when your younger because you havent been going for as long, but i tried to buy other things instead, and tell as many people as i could that if theyre with me when i try to buy them, stop me, or if im drunk, no one will let me just have a cheeky drag.
just stop it. it's all in your mind
