i don't know how to stop...

Smoking cigarettes!!! It is a habit I just cannot kick. One day I tried to go cold turkey and my hands started to shake and my palms were kinda sweaty. Maybe I am so dependent on them because I live a stressful life. I tried the patch but it didnt really work because one time I had it on and someone around me smoked and I felt sick. Advice?

Your doctor can prescribe a pill. All I know is that being pregnant is the only thing that really made me stop. You have to decide that smoking is such a negative thing that you must stop. In other words, I think you have to be ready to quit. People try many times to quit before they actually do. And you sound like you are getting closer and closer to being sick and tired of smoking. When I started smoking, my doctor asked me what was going on in my life. So I'm sure the stress in your life doesn't make it easy to quit. I wish you luck. And hopefully being a part of Mylot can help you relieve some of that stress. Welcome!

Thanks for sharing and welcome to mylot Yes it is not that easy to give up smoking, if you think substitutes will work, i am afraid they won't All that is needed is a very strong determination; no fixing up dates, just be strong and quit lol.

Your firm determination is enough to stop smoking. I have seen someone to eat spices instead of smoking.
