Err, I don't think you can either advise or force people to stop smoking, especially when the person is a regular smoker. That can only work with social smokers. Heavy smokers are the worst. It can only happen with will power, and medical help. Then again, some folks are lucky and there is going to be a time when their bodies will start rejecting it - and that'll induce a phobia for smoking.

Also, apparently there's a drug out there now that can also hasten the process. Or you can advise her to get nicotine patches, and they'll gradually reduce the urge in the brain sensors.

Modified: I heard smoking can affect pregnancy

DollyParton1:

No drug hasten then process, It just relieves the anxiety symptoms associated with withdrawal. Neither does nicotine patches reduce any sensory urge.

DollyParton1:

Trust me. Every smokers know how bad the effect of smoking is. The problem lies in the will power to stop. And the fear of those horrible periods of withdrawal.

SirShymexx:


Are you sure? - someone told me about a drug last Dec. - some white chic at work, and she said it's highly effectively. I was on nicotine patches then, and it did work a bit. It's a 6-week procedure but I didn't complete it due to work and Xmas. Should probably continue sometime this month.

Anyway, what's the best way to stop completely?

DollyParton1:

1.Did u talk to our GP?
2. Joined a support group?

Was ur colleague talking about Buspirone?

transit4:


u r ryt.. i want to see how to make her develop the will power to stop

raumdeuter:


Try e-cig. The ones with vapor. And reduce from there

Try Chantix

SirShymexx:


Yes, I spoke to my GP and he was the one who told me to register for the programme. I actually went to see him for something else, but I smoked before going there, hence he advised me to stop.

It wasn't a support group - I was assigned to a nurse, and weekly visits, to check improvements and prescribe more patches. It did work though, and I only smoke socially now (but it's more of electronic cigarette with no nicotine). Should stop soon.

That's the name - Buspirone. Are you in the medical field?

Godson201333:
You want to carry her baby or you want her to carry your. Baby

DollyParton1:

Buspirone is an anxiolytic agent. Just for treating the symptoms of anxiety arising from Nicotine withdrawal.
And the patch is to help taper off the quantity of nicotine in your bloodstream.... Better than abrupt stopping.

Yes I am in the medical field.

SirShymexx:


Oh, I get it now. Also, apparently, when you use the drug, it causes chest pains for a while. I was meant to as my GP about it, but cos it's a new drug...and the fear-factor about side effects with drugs, made me leave it alone. Coupled with the fact that the patches were helping a bit. I don't even like taking drugs cos of my addictive nature - I get addicted to things easily once they become part of my routine.

Yes, the process involved patches is gradual. Another thing: the nurse told me during the thingy that smoking with patches on can cause brain defects. Why is that?

Anyway, are you a Trainee Doctor? Or a Nurse?

Darn! The young nurses I bump into every time I hit the A & E are always sexy as fvck, with batty shaking everywhere. Unlike the old ones I see at normal GP's place.

DollyParton1:


Smoking with patches on is Overdosing on nicotine. Patches contain nicotine that is released gradually into the system, so smoking with that just means u are are getting nicotine from two sources into ur system. There are so many side effects of smoking with patches on. I think when the nurse said brain damage, what she had in mind was stroke or cardiac arrest as one of the long term effects, those two can lead to brain damage ( especially stroke). I think she just wanted to scare u. But its not advisable to combine smoking with patches.Odikwa very risky
Meanwhile the drug is an anxiolytic agent and anxiolytic agents are addictive generally just that this one is different cos it is not chemically or pharmacologically related to other anxiolytic drugs. But really most doctors won't recommend it if u don't ask for it. Smoking cessation is more about personal resolution and social intervention lots of people have quit smoking without that drug.

I studied Medicine.

SirShymexx:

Lol. When she alluded to brain damage, I was scared as fvck, cos I remember during Uni times, when they used to hand out nicotine gums to smokers (I wasn't even a regular cig smoker back then - more of a weed head like other students). I used to chew that ish, then go raving later in the night and light a cancer stick up after binge drinking lol. The scare tactic did work cos I stayed away from cigs when I was on patches...can't afford to mess up my brain. That's my money-maker and what has got me this far in life.
Also, why can't they just ban nicotine (cigs)? Folks don't even know it's like class A drug, and when it becomes an addiction - it's somewhat difficult to stop. Unlike weed which you can stop abruptly. When I stopped smoking weed years ago - I just stopped cos it was messing up my routine and making me lazy. I only mess with it now like once in every 4-6 months, or when I'm on holz in a foreign country and, I need to relax and get myself in a zone different from the norm lol.
I hear that. So, basically, the drug would've created more problems then. Thank God I never asked for that mofo. Also, what are the
Trained Doctor? - I like that. I think I found meself a personal Doctor. My current GP is the best on this planet...never had a GP as good as him, apart from the one I had way back when I was young. But I think I'm switching to you. Can I be ya patient? Gatts diagnose a nyggah with some shiit, man. E-hyperactive I-Dont-Give-A-Fvck syndrome - is there any cure for that? I defo need to start hitting you up from time to time for medical advice...I'm impressed.
