Question:
Answers:
you can stop, if your only smoking 4 butts a week you have no problem to quit right now while your ahead. Not only will you be unhealthy in the future, but by the time you are able to buy your own you will be addicted, and the price per pack is gonna cost you alot. Right now for you, its a mind thing cause your not addicted and can stop.Try eating fruits or vegetables when you think you need to smoke, hard candy works to. It is a proven fact that when you think you need a butt and you do something else, you will forget you thought you wanted one. try this it will work for you
Actually smoking causes more damage at your age than it would if you were older.
If you are smoking just 4 cigarettes a week you are not physiologically addicted.
Just stop now
Stop smoking now!
well there are a whole lot more ways 2 relieve stress then by smoking if u live near a clinic then they will give u patches that usually help with quiting o one more thing i suggest stop smoking know !!!
Go outside and play, and quit posting stuff here just to get adults to tell you that smoking is bad.
If you are only smoking 4 cigs a week, you are not addicted. You can control yourself, so stop now! Instead, try doing light calisthentics to relieve stress.
look stop now honestly if you get addicted its an even more stressfull time to stop. it does more damage when your young anyway... and if it gets serious get niccorette or sumthing lol
Goto the hospital and ask the doctors to see either:
1) Someone who is dying of emphysema
2) Someone who had their traecha removed
3) A cancerous lung
Hope that helps.
Tell your parents or teacher or somebody and they will help you.
SO you are willing to sacrifice your heart and lungs to be skinnier??
Get your priorities in line child
Cold turkey. My mom did it, and that's what seems to work, at least I think so. Plus, you're not smoking that much right now any way, and if you can't go cold turkey, decrease your levels slowly. Like, 3 cigs for the next two weeks, 2 for the next two weeks after that, and one cig for say, 3 weeks, then none at all. And plus you don't wanna continue smoking My grandpa started smoking at you age, and he had a whole host of problems. He died as a resutl of smoking. You don't want to die the way he did. And, maybe take up an exercise program... like running or something, That will make you feel good about yourself, and it'll attract the opposite sex to you. And, it may make you more confident about yourself. Just, good luck, and God bless. Hope you manage to quit.
You need to stop now..and since you smoke so little chew some sugar-free gum. Let's face it..it won't be long before there is NO PLACE you can smoke anyway...so you might as well go ahead and quit..and how do you get them if you are only 12??
Being a young teen is very hard and stressfull. It would seem worth it to smoke because couple minutes of stress reliefe 4 times a week is better than none at all. My husband started smokeing at age 10. He quite when he was 30. I could never find a way to explain to you the hell he went through trying to quite not only that but he gaind over 100 lbs. Now his lungs hurt, he feels like he cant breath, the Drs. tell him that theres nothing he can do. Its misserable for him. Its really not at all worth it to smoke.
I realize that a lot of people don't think of cigarettes as a drug, but they are. The people at the Drug Helpline can give you advice and support. Just because it's not illegal drugs (it is illegal for a 12-year-old, though) doesn't mean it's not a serious drug addiction. Treat it like the addiction it really is. They can give you the advice you need and help connect you to support in your area.
