Have you read Allen Carr's easy way to stop smoking? it's not so much about quitting, but about being happy.

No point being an ex smoker if you are miserable about it because it will not last: you have to untangle how you feel about smoking to get a solid result.

JMHO obviously! I know lots of people who have read it and quit, happily, wanting to and relaxed. If you don't want to at the end of the book (and you can smoke all the way through it) then you don't have to. Nothing lost. :)

I'm glad you realize that you are addicted to nicotine. You say you need to stop smoking but you also have to want to quit. You might begin by making a list of all the reasons you want to stop and then print several copies and post them where you can see them often, like the bathroom mirror, by the computer, on your car's dashboard, in your fave smoking spots, you get the idea.
Think about how you want to quit (there is no wrong way). Do you want to go cold turkey, use Chantix, the patch, gum? Personally I favor cold turkey because you aren't using nicotine to stop puffing nicotine but many have succeeded with using NRT (Nicotine Replacement Therapy). The choice is yours.
Pick a quit date, then start to prepare. Come here and read the posts. There is a sub-group called Good Posts. (Go to the bar at the top of the page and click on GROUPS to find it) There is a ton of information there. Information is power. Let us know your quit date.
It's pretty normal to be nervous and scared about quitting. It's a change in your lifestyle. I'm not going to sugar coat the early days....it ain't for wimps! Keep in mind that quitting is not an event, it's a process and it happens one day at a time. We all started our quits with day one and learned how to re-train our brain to think like a non-smoker, then got comfy in our new and non-smoking skins.
We will help you with tips, things to think about and encouragement, but the job of managing your quit falls to you.
Keep posting here to let us know how you're doing. You absolutely CAN do this, you just have to WANT to stop!

Thank you so much for these helpful replies. The problem is im confused im not sure i want to stop, i know i need to stop because its affecting my health but i feel like it doesnt even matter like i've got nothing to lose, but then again i cant slowly kill myself im still young and i have my entire life ahead of me. I guess i need will power and determination to do this. I will sure keep you updated on how this is going and i thank you again

I think you need to start at where do you get you cigarettes. Your profile says you are 16. Do you have a job or is someone providing them for you?

Kiddo, YES you can . I started smoking at 16 cuz my friends did it. We thought we were so cool and grown up. I. Married a smoker but 35 years ago he quit cold turkey. I couldn't and continued killing myself for years. I was hooked. It took Chantix and this wonderful group of supporters to finally quit. It is never too late . Go to our sub-group 'Good Posts' and read, read, read. Find a method that works for YOU. Stick around and post all you want. We are here for you.

To answer the question I get my cigarettes from my pocket money which comes from my mother and other family members, and to reply to the other comment I don't do it to look cool I use it as an escape and I know its not too late and im glad i decided to join here thank you for the support

Nadine, I didn't want to quit either. I watched enough peeps die from all kinds of cancer. I've smoked for 41 years and have quit a dozen of times. The thing that keeps me going is .....The only loser is the one that stops trying to quit. See your doc and be honest. If u drink how much How much u smoke, u smoke while drinking coffee?? and I'm' sure there will be a solution. I'm on day 4 0r 5 with my quit. I use the boards to vent and have pity parties and no one has said STOP IT. They are glad I vented and said what I had to. It saved my ass on day 5 cuz I was all worked up. U want to join us and give it a shot???? Come to Roll call and say whats up When u have a desire to quit tell us all so we can be more supportive. Even if there is no desire come and listen. Soak in as much as u can.

Biggest thing I can say on day 7 is..... Don't give up 1 minute before the

Look forward to hearing from u. miracle happens.

That last part was suppose to read ......Don't give up 1 minute before the miracle happens

To be honest i smoke around 10 cigarettes per day and if im extremely angry i can finish up to two packs which means 40 cigarettes and i would love to check out roll call could you please tell me more about it and where i can find it?

Nadine you are saying all the wrong things. Self control won't help you. Knuckle down, endure. That stuff is the wrong way to look at it. Get the book and read it. You can get it online in pdf. If there is nothing g see you do, do that. It will help you work out what you want.

What does your Mom think about you smoking. I would not have gotten away with it because you can smell it on a person. I assume you are in school, what do your class mates and teacher think, like I say they can smell you.

I started at 27 years old and now I am paying for it with a lung disease. If you want to quit then you need to reach out to your Mom and family members who give you money.

You say you started 2 years ago, well I wonder if 10 cigarettes is really what you smoke, addicts get a fix when they need it, so I am guessing that number is not correct.

Try to remember you are going to age quicker, get wrinkles way to early in life and perhaps miss out on a lot of good times because smoking is not as acceptable any more even among young adults. That first kiss may turn off some nice young boys.

Reach out to your family or friends for help.

You can also be a 'part of our family'. Sweetie, you are so young compared to my 60 years, I have been in your shoes. I so wish I had listened to my 'elders' back then. They told me that it would grab me and hold on. That is why we here call it the Nicodemon.

Does your Mom know you are smoking? What does she say? No amount of perfume, teeth brushing, mouth wash can mask that horrible smell. Only YOU can make and keep a quit. We want to help you to make that quit happen

You are so young and from your Avi, very beautiful. With so much information out there regarding the horrific consequences of smoking , dont you believe them? Are your friends also smokers? You could start a new trend. Get them on board and make a contest about who can stay quit the longest. Good luck Sweetie. Keep posting, we care

To be honest i still haven't read the book but i will i just need to find time and i still dont know how im going to deal with this but i suppose self control is also needed , i dont know thats why i came here for help
