**Current Smokers and Smokers who have Quit Please Help**?!


Question: **Current Smokers and Smokers who have Quit Please Help**!?
A good friend of mine is a smoker and has been smoking for a couple of years!. I really want him to quit because I really care about him and I never want to see anything bad happen to him!. So I tried asking him to quit and I tried getting him a couple packs of his favorite gum so he could try to get his mind of of it but I understand that some words and a distraction can't curve an addiction!. So I came up with a plan!.!.
I want to tell it to him but I wanted other smokers and previous smokers who know how hard it is to quit and what addiction feels like to tell me if my plan was logic!.!.!.
He smokes a pack a day (20 cigarettes)
so I would ask him to smoke 2 less a month starting in September so by June he would be smoke-free and in return I would work incredibly hard to get a 4!.0 every quarter of my school year and make the valedvictorian speech at the end of the year
because I care about his life and health and he cares about my education!.
Does this sound like a good plan!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I've never smoked but when i was going out with my previous boyfriend he did dip (smokeless tobacco) and trust me they will not try to quit unless they want to themselves!. Maybe so him how much it hurts you, but just know that he is not going to stop [or try to stop] unless he actually want to!. Because i know that smoking gives them a sort of buzz and relaxes them, and he might not want to give that up or he really might not be able to because of the addiction!. But tell him your plan, it's worth a try!. good luck to you and good luck to himWww@Answer-Health@Com

Yes but it is easier said then done!. He has to be ready to do it on his own!. And if he is not ready and you suggest it then he might be bitter and end up smoking more!. I don't know the name of the medication but it has to be prescribed by a Doctor but it is the easiest way to quit smoking!. My dad smoked all of his life and the week he started taking the medication he was over it and he never went back to smoking again!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Smoking is an addiction!. NO ADDICT can be cured!. They must want to stop using the drug more than anything else!. You cannot cure them!.

The only effective way to quit is cold turkey!. The quicker you can get the nicotine out of your system, the quicker the cravings go away!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

He has to be ready to quit, first!. Then use nicotine gum, or patches, to provide nicotine during tapering off, while coming to grips with finding substitutes for the ritual, and oral stimulation aspects, and coping in social situations!. Relapses are common, with most people taking 3 tries, to be successful!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

smoking alttle less each time does not work!. Sadly, the only way to quit is a person's will to quit and it must be done cold turkey!.

He has to want it for himself and if he does, he will be able to quit!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
