I have helped people to quit smoking. It is never too late... there are natural ways to clear the poison out of your body. It is impposible to tell weather you will die from smoking or not - it is in your genes, environment and much more. All in all, there are many hazards to our body all around us - it is a shame to add another hazzard and harm ourselves and those around us. If you wish to quit smoking, let me know...

Do you have some kind of support group? Find a buddy that will help you stop smoking. I had a friend that smoked heavily everyday. She had 2 young kids. I kept telling her that if she didn't stop smoking, she would never see her kids grow up and get married. She wanted me to keep telling her that. I told her that everytime she wanted a cig, to call me and I'd help talk her out of that one cig. We would take it one cig at a time. The secret to stop smoking is the desire to stop smoking. If you really want to stop, you will. It will be the hardest thing that you will ever do. But, it is worth it. Ask yourself, why do you smoke? Do you really want to break the habit? Call your doctor and see if they can recommend a program for you. Have you tried the patch, or the gum? Have you tried hypnosis? Good luck. Let us know how you do.

You could try acupuncture to stop smoking. I´ve known people who were chain smokers and they were able to stop smoking completely because of this treatment. But it´s not a miracle treatment. You need to invest some willpower to make it work. (I don´t think you´re going to die because of smoking, but you´re certainly not contributing to your health by carrying on. Good luck.

quite a long time of smoking period.Smoking wil lead to lung cancer you might be knowing it.You have to stop smoking before you turn 30 bcoz then it will be very difficult for you to get rid of that.Everything is in our control so if you have determination to quit you can definetely stop smoking.

please stop it right now. Dont you think you are doing wrong with your family and friends. You have no right to do this to people who love you. Would you not like to see your family flourish, your kids grow up and become something in life. Would you not like to see your kids getting graduated, will they not miss you on there graduation day, or when they get married or when they would see fathers of their friends... Dont do this to them, dont do this to your family.They love you and expect this from you.

i know quitting smoking is hard that is why i never start to smoke in my life, i guess if you really need to stop smoking just set your heart on it, get chewing gum whenever you feel you need to smoke, i know it would be hard, because ,my dad smoke and he stop smoke for a few weeks and would start smoking again, but if you really set you mind on it you can do it

Just keep trying! Ask your Dr to help you. He/she may have meds to help you stop. Lots of people have beaten the habit...it was hard, but they did it! Want you around for a long, long time! God bless.

Samrat I cant think of it like the way you talk and speak. If you don't stop you may get infected ( may you not ). Go contact someone or who knows how to do this. But you must stop soon enough because it is very very harmful and you've already harmed yourself quite much.

Hi friend, I hope you can quit smoking. My mother-in-law now has lung cancer from smoking, and the doctors told her she will die soon. She is miserable and sad, and the whole family is worried about her. We don't know what we'll do without her! If you can stop smoking now, your lungs will become healthy again, and you will have a much better chance of avoiding lung cancer. My husband used to smoke 2 packs a day. About 15 years ago, he got brochitis and was too sick to smoke. He just quit then. He hasn't had a smoke since, but now he's got emphysema. The best way to quit smoking is to just quit. It will be very hard for the first couple of weeks, but it will be worth it. Just think of the money you will save! It helps to suck on hard candies or chew gum when you get the urge to smoke. Good Luck!

smoking is injurious to our body, so minimise it orelse it will kill you .A chain smoker cannot stot it suddenly. so drop the quantity.
