How To Quit Smoking

what if you're not 18?

Please dont give your opinion about teens smokin. just state the facts and get on.
Thanks

Yes you can take them. Put them in your checked bagge if you have one.

My friend told me her dad just got a laser treatment to stop smoking, and he hasn’t picked up a cigarette since the day he got it. My mom is very adamant about quitting and I think this is a really good option if it works. Shes tried all the gums, pills and patches and nothing has worked. Can anyone help me out and tell me more about it, and how effictive it is?

The actual method of laser treatment is straightforward and is based on recognized scientific methods.

It is generally considered to be a natural form of treatment, and causes no pain or discomfort to the patient. If you have tried other methods to stop smoking then Laser Treatment Therapy - is it the right method for you? This can prove to be a viable alternative.

A Laser beam is applied to meridian points throughout your body, including your ears, nose, hands, forearms and wrists. These meridian points are activated to release endorphins.

There is no risk of radiation as the lasers used for this treatment system are of low intensity. The treatments helps you to relax and of course to resist the need to smoke.

i am currently reading the alan carr stop smoking book

you have to really mean it…no matter how strong the urge is..Never give in or you always will give in and think "i will have just one…." my husband and i have had good success with the nicoderm patches (use the walmart brand they are a little cheaper)

I used nicotilell and this one patch http://usdrugs.biz/category/stop_smoking/stop_smoking_patch and it helped me for a while.

i just decided to try and start the smoking patches and i was wondering where it would be better to place it.. on the upper arm or the back of my shoulder blade.. thank youuu

The area for you to place the nicotine patch should be indicated on the box.
However, I will tell you here.
It is recommended that you place the patch at a fatty area, eg: The upper arm, at the thigh, at your bum. However, you shouldn't actually place it at the back as it is too near to your heart. You don't want the highest concentration of nicotine reaching your heart first as nicotine can speed up your heart beat.
That is why the patch should only be placed at fatty area where the absorption is slower and the concentration can even out before it reaches the blood stream.

One more important thing is to rotate the area where you place the patch every single day. Eg. Today you place it on your left arm, then tomorrow you should place it on your right arm. the day after, maybe at your thigh and you change the area. This is because you don't want the adhesive of the patch to cause a skin allergy reaction.

Congratulations for quitting.

I have a drug test coming up on thursday, i stopped smoking marijuana 7 months ago. About 3 or 4 days ago a friend of mine came over, who still smokes. He smoked a blunt, i didnt hit it. We talked, he left. Later that night i developed a killer headache & seen that there was a roach "end of the marijuana cigarette" in the ashtrey from when my friend was here. It wasnt big, I smoked it. It was only about 4 or 5 hits and then it was gone, it helped my headache. Next day my army recruiter "whom i wasnt expecting to hear from untill atleast 2 weeks" called and said i needed to come in & do some paperwork and a test. I told him what i did, it showed up on the drug test. he came over a couple days later and we did another drug test, and it was barley visible. That was yesterday, the official drug test for the army is thursday. If i go out and walk or run a couple miles today and tomorrow and burn off some fat. Do you think i will be ok? And i know i messed up, no preaching plz

Work out like crazy, drink lots of water, eat food that make you expel waste (you want anything stored in your fat cells to have as many attempts to leave your body as possible) and the day of the test *just about 5 hours before* drink a mountain dew to add color to what is usually crystal clear pee.
Cause if you pee clear, they will usually take it to a lab, or make you come back and do it again later.
And just so you know, if you didn't smoke it, just hung out in the room and maybe even got a small 2nd hand buzz it probably wouldn't have showed up on your test, but the moment you took a hit you filled your body with marijuana, your blood cells, your fat cells, everything, its the difference of being next to a fire, and being right in the middle of it.
Good Luck

He's 17 years old. He started smoking over the summer to lose weight, and now he's addicted and can't stop. He says he wants to stop, and I want to help him. Getting rid of all cigarettes in his house isn't an option because both his parents smoke. (I'm not sure whether or not they allow him to do it.) I don't live near him; I only see him during holidays. What can I say to him or do for him to help him break the habit?

He has to want to. The only thing you can do is not hassle him if he continues. This could take time. So be patient with him.
