I quit recently with the support of my husband and coworkers. I started when I was 12. I’m 20 now. It’s still hard. But the worst part is over in the first week. Best of Luck. And you are going to feel sooo much better.

yes quitting is hard especally the first 3 weeks but the best way to do it is, to wake tomorrow and just not smoke any more. you have to do it cold turkey. no patches no gums none of that tobacco company funded BS that just keeps you addicted. you just have to stop and stop suddenly. thats how i did it and it worked fine. after the first 3 weeks you in the clear as long as you have the support you were talking about.

Pretty easy if you’re really willing to quit. Impossible if you’re simply thinking that it makes you spend money, it’s unhealthy, all that…

My friend stopped smoking by using the patch.
I think you will be able to do it because you show a true desire for it and you know that it isn’t good for you or your child. So that’s a good thing. It might be tough at first, but remember that you’re doing it for your son and for your own health and you’ll find the determination to do it.

Why wait for August 21st? Do it now; don’t put it off any longer.
For much of the people trying to quit it’s most difficult. Having the will, the motivation, and the determination to quit for whatever the reason may be, is the first step.
Rid your house of all ashtrays and tobacco products. Take plenty of vitamin C, drink grapefruit juice regularly, if you can, and brush your teeth immediately after every meal.
Stay busy, because your hands and your mind is too used to having them filled with a cigarette. Hard candies work well too.
Psyche yourself to the point that smoking will never be an option for you–that it is detrimental to your lifestyle and your loved ones. But watch your temper–you can lose it quickly during the throes of quitting.
Good luck.

I am 28 years and have smoked for 14 years. I have lost both of my parents, my father to throat cancer 15 years ago and my mom to lung cancer 3 months ago. After watching both my parents die from smoking i decided it was time to quit. June 10th 2006, at 7:30 pm, 57 days ago was my last cigarette. For the first 2 weeks I used the 21 milligram nicoderm cq. IT WORKS! After 2 weeks I found I didn”t need anything at all. I have not smoked yet.
Trust me when I tell you your child will than you for it, when your here to them graduate, get married, have their first child and the second.
You have a good reason to quit, carry of picture of your child and every time you want to smoke take out that picture and stare at it until the craving passes. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! Good Luck

THINK OF YOUR child everytime you want to smoke.
according to psychologists one way of changing is motivation.f u have a strong motivation to change, change will likely to happen to you.
