    Just stopped Smoking...

    I had stopped smoking in 2004 - had not smoked for 11 years. Then, in 2016, I separated, got divorced, sold a house, moved, two kids in college and starting taking on a bigger role as care giver to elderly mother - in another state so I started smoking AGAIN. I just bought a pack last night - smoked today and realized I HATE SMOKING! Broke the cigarettes, threw them in the trash and threw away my lighter. I joined this message board for support. I don't want to smoke and I need help. Next stop....

    My story is almost the same

    I lived alone so this was easier. For the first 3 days I felt terrible because of a health issue that scared me. I layed on the sofa and closed my eyes and every 15 minutes considered getting up and driving to 7/11 to buy a pack of cigarettes, opening it and lighting one. I visualized evey action and feeling. The second day and the third were less often. I got up on the forth day and began to act more normally. When I felt an urge to smoke I drank a glass of water or started playing solitare. This....

    stick with it

    I have been a smoker for 40 some years and have to quit, but I find it very difficult, looking for support and suggestions to help me get through the process in the beginning, the hardest time for me is first thing in the morning, as I smoke in the first 10 minutes after I wake up.

    Need to quit because of health.

    Hi, I need to quit smoking. I have bad stomach ulcers. As long as I keep smoking they won't get better. I also have bad anxiety and smoking makes it worse. I have been smoking for 30 years. I tried Chantixs and had really bad side affects. Tried the patch and smoked with the patch on. I really need help with this. Any suggestions.

    Quit smoking 4 months ago

    I have quit smoking by using the lozenges. I have read that you sometimes cough more after you quit which was not the case with me, in fact my cough went away within a couple of weeks, however, I still have a lot of mucus and phlegm stuck in my throat 4 months later. It's not as bad as when I first quit but still annoying. Is this due to the cilia functioning again?

    Questions about cigarette breath?

    My girlfriend claims that she has quit cigarette since last month, but I still smell it when we kiss, coming from her throat. She's a regular smoker. How come the smell does stay even after a month. How can I detect if she had quit smoking or not. I am not trying to be the mr controlling guy but, I have also tasted cigarettes, though it may take a while before the sensation gets away, but I do not think that the breath will stay for long, like, over a month, especially when you use mouthwash....
