What should you do when your girlfriend or boyfriend want you to stop smoking and you are finding it difficult to quit?

Answer 1

AnswerYou already know that smoking is bad for your health. Your friends care about you and have asked you to stop smoking. What you have to do then is to stop. Yes, it is difficult to quit. But not impossible.

I had been a smoker, and it took me three tries to finally stop smoking. So do not give up if you have tried only once. Keep trying and try various methods that might be able to help either from a local smoking helpline, or else take nicotine gum/use nicotine patches.

The way I stopped smoking, and I have seen others on TV do the same thing. I substituted the end of a ''pen'' for my cigarette. Every time I wanted a cigarette, I picked up the pen and did everything with the pen that I would do with the cigarette.

Smoking itself is not the only thing that is addictive. Everything pertaining to the cigarette is also addictive. Like lighting it, puffing it, flicking the end off, and blowing out after puffing. so then...

Say you need to smoke. Put you hand into your pocket and pull out the pen. Put the pen cap, into your mouth as you would do a cigarette. Make the motions of lighting it, puff as if you were puffing to light the end, etc. Take puffs, inhale, flick the end.

Do this whenever you usually smoke. After dinner, in the bathroom, waking up, with coffee. It works!!!

Keep doing this, hold it in between your fingers. Do it for one day. Then go to sleep. Do it one more day when you wake up. Only think of one day at a time.

I also kept an unopened pack of cigarettes in the laundry room. This way I knew that I could get a cigarette if I really needed one. If I did not have the pack, I would go nuts thinking that I want a smoke and do not have any in the house.

Do this, and let me know how it works out. I quit in this way, and I have never had the urge or taken a cigarette again in 20 years.

Let me hear from anyone who tries this method. I will help you continue. Try it .

AnswerQuitting smoking is not easy, but it can be made far easier if one uses one of the many forms of NRT (Nicotine Replacement Therapy) available. Seek advice from your local medical expert.

From Personal Experience, failing to stop smoking when your partner does not smoke may well eventually result in the relationship failing. (Cigarette smoke is not pleasant to non smokers!)

Your boyfriend or girlfriend should not be nagging you, they should only support you. I have smoked for over 30 years and have given an e-cigarette a try. Have not had a regular cigarette since 12/31/2009. I am still getting the nicotine fix but without all the tar, carbon monoxide and other toxins. I know these are not suppose to be "quit smoking aids", but this is the only thing that has worked for me and if it can help someone else then so be it.

I will be slowly lowering my nicotine level to quit altogether. I got mine at www.theperfectsmoke.com and I am so happy now!! I can taste food and dont have that tightness in my chest anymore!

If all else fails, dump the girlfriend or boyfriend.
