They smoke almost every 10 minutes. And they both have fatal, bad diseases. My mom has lupus, where she can’t fight anything off, and it affects her major organs. She has epilepsy too; Doctors say it’s because of a bad car wreck when she flew out the windshield ^^. My dad has heart disease and has already had a heart attack. He’s only 46. My Mom is 37. They smoke out in the garage every hour, at the very minimum. They smoke in the car. They smoke,smoke,smoke. Like a pack a day. And more. And my mom is on a diet which is great, and my dad did have a HORRIBLE diet, and it’s still not at it’s best, but he’s doing a lot better. It really hurts me really bad to watch them do that and I hate talking bad about his diet, but that’s something you probably need to know. I’m just really really worried watching them do that and I’m never gonna do that. But they smoke near us and I don’t wanna suffer from their bad decisions. My aunt stopped smoking, without using anything. They always say “i know, i’mma try to quit” and that they know it’s bad. But they never do. If this continues, I know they will die young. It’s hard to say and think, but it’s the truth and I want to change that. My dads already had a heart attack and he is middle aged! It’s because of smoking and the diet. I always tell them but they get mad at me usually when I say something. And they have bad mood swings and sometimes I just want them to just go smoke because until they do they are in a bad mood because of the addiction to nicotine. It’s a bad example and I think it’s gross. They say if they knew the dangers back then that they wouldn’t have started. But I think it’s time they quit. What do they do? How do I convince them? I know it’s up to them but they won’t do it all themselves. I have tried really hard. Please help, I’m very very worried. They smoke A LOT, I mean..A LOT. Tell me how to fix it.

I am 24, my b/f is 29. He has been smoking since he was 13, however he says he is going to quit, but that he isn’t ready. Two questions, how can I help him become motivated to without being pushy, and also, how long should I wait for him to quit. In other words, you can only say “I’m going to quit” for how long before it doesn’t become true anymore? What are some signs I should be looking for out of him in other words?

I have not had a cigarette in 7 days. My intentions are to finally quit for good. I have been eating everything that has not run from me for the last week and can feel my size 7 frame starting to explode.
I can only assume that since I am no longer spending my time smoking that now I am trying to fill that time with eating. Anyone else out there experience this and if so how did you manage these cravings?

Ive tried everything from nicotine replacements to going cold turkey and I just can’t quit! I don’t feel like myself when I stop and my life seems like its in slow motion!
How did anyone on here successfully quit?

First off, I’m 14. I have to take a surprise drug test soon…I got caught at my school with weed about a three weeks ago. I “relapsed” this weekend. I don’t know if I should just keep on smoking or quit ?
Weed makes everything better for me. No depression. I’m motivated to do things. Makes me get along with my family. I make the best memories and have a blast. I know I am psychologically addicted to it. It’s always on my mind.
What should I do ? When I got caught my parents first found out I smoked. They’ve been so disappointed in me.

15 years i have been smoking and tried to quit a hundred times but it drives me crazy …. i think its part of my personality by now and if i do quit forever this may phsycologically change my personality…. where does will power come from and how is it developed ??? my theory is as a child when you want toys and sweets and always demanding for them non stop and throwing tantrums coz your parents wont give then after half an hour of putting up with the stress they eventually give in and say o.k this time…. there you go…. and there goes everybodys will power at the same time…… what do you rekon !!!

I quit smoking the week before Thanksgiving cold turkey. I haven’t even told people cause if I talk about it, I feel that makes it worse. Right now, I am almost in tears I want to smoke so bad. I feel like it’s part of my personality or something. But I can’t smoke. I am a mother and I want to be alive and not die a slow suffering death for my children to witness. WTF?
When will this stop?
Holy crap even the limited categories to put this in is making me want to smoke. I mean, what kind of choice is HEALTH. Healthy people won’t get it. How about, the I want to smoke so bad I feel sub human category?

Can you give me a website where there are very discriptive pictures of the negative effects of smoking, or give me really heart touching reasons to make him quit. Thank you
