I have been smoking regularly for about 6 years. I want to quit for health reasons, my daughter, etc. The thing is that it's very relaxing, and I enjoy doing it. Help please!

Hello and welcome, I have only been at this for a few days but I know the answer to this one! Slow deep breathing, trust me, I have been doing it constantly and it almost feels like smoking. Good Luck!!

Well aposie You have to realize that smoking is not a good thing. As long as you think it is and that you enjoy it, you will never achieve your quit. You have to hate it so much that you are willing to go through a lot of pain to give it up. Please read the Dear John Letter to a cigarette in one of the forums. It says it all. You are worth this quit and we all want to see you succeed. Get ready for the ride of your life and understand we will be there with you on the way. keep the quit vicki just 1 puff away from 2 packs a day [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 10/17/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 91 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 3,655 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $637 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 12 [B]Hrs:[/B] 10 [B]Mins:[/B] 15 [B]Seconds:[/B] 0

aposie, Ah, the relaxation of smoking! As nicotine addicts we are lulled into a false sense of security by nicotines affect on us. As Shevie wrote, the relaxation part is a sham. All you are doing when you smoke is to quell the cravings you get from withdrawal. As soon as you crush out that cigarette your body goes into withdrawals. As time passes you get edgy, nervous and guess what? You have a cigarette and it "relaxes" you. No, it just feeds your addiction to nicotine. There is nothing in a cigarette that causes true relaxation. Learn the facts about the hellish addiction to cigarettes and how that poison that the big tobacco companies have sold us is killing us one by one. You are a very young smoker, now is the perfect time to take your life back. Don't think for a moment that you can't do this. Don't think for a moment that you are denying yourself anything. Don't think for a moment that you will be looked down upon by your smoking friends. I urge you to work the quit program and also visit whyquit.com, a site devoted to exposing all the lies of tobacco. It will be an eye opener. We are here for you aposie. Get a plan together. Set a date and find that strength, determination, commitment and positive attitude and you will be well on your way to a new, smoke-free life! Best wishes. [b][color=Green]Be Strong. Be Smart.

Cigarettes Not Smoked

for 19 år siden 0 +0 / -0 2027

Hi, aposie. Congratulations on your decision to quit smoking and welcome to the SSC. The relaxation smoking provides is a sham. About a half hour, or so, after your last smoke your nicotine levels have dropped to the point that your body begins craving it. At first it isn't readily noticeable, but if you don't provide the "fix", it will increase noticeably until you do. Then when you smoke the cessation of the withdrawal symptoms is what feels like relaxation. The reality is the cigarette is causing the stress, not relieving it. I strongly suggest you go through the Online Quit Program here. You can access it by clicking on the "here" under the roadway and car. There are tests to assess your nicotine dependence and readiness to quit, as well as tons of information and tips on the various methods of quitting.
