Smoking - Please Help by etugba(m): 12:33pm On Jul 04, 2019
Greetings Nairalanders

This is the first time I'm really discussing about myself on this platform because I'm really worried and I certainly need help here now...


I always read different treads almost everyday on how to quit smoking but I'm still finding it difficult...

I read the disadvantages of smoking cigarettes if it could scare me... cry

It actually does but I just can't stop... Sometimes I end up smoking 2 packets of cigarettes in a day... I'm scared about the damages this is costing me but I just can't stop..


I go as far as going to places that don't allow smoking to hangout on weekends, when I'm drinking without a cigarette, I'm uncomfortable and I'm forced to leave there immediately...

I go as far as staving myself off smoking from morning till midnight.. then I just can't sleep... I will open my gate by 1am to a provision shop in my area that sells all night just to purchase it even when I'm not on cash, I buy on credit cry


Absent the liability this has become to me, I'm more worried about my health and don't know how to go about this...


I have issues with my girlfriend because of this act, that's not my problem... But my health....



I'm quitting this because of my health not because of how the society sees it ...

Ask God for help. If He doesn't help you, relax. Something must kill a man

If actually the reason is because of your health then that should be more than enough reason to stop, or you want us to highlight the health consequences for you to be convinced more

I read about the health consequences almost all the time... Trust me... I'm aware of the consequences... But just can't stop ....


I've tried everything I've read so far that actually worked for other people

I understand ur predicament and it seems u re a slave to ur smoking addiction.
Truth b told, we all re a slave to 1 addiction or the other.

Since u already know the health implications, I think one of the ways people use for withdrawal is seeking Medical hlp not sure tho but I think I had heard it b4 that there are injections that can be given to aid withdrawal.

Then have u tried E Cigarettes. It comes in diff forms and flavors u shld try dat out as well

Smoking won't kill you,could damper your health a bit but so does simply living.
Re: Smoking - Please Help by BuyACar(f): 6:35pm On Aug 02, 2019
Make new friends who don't like smoking.

And you'd see how stupid you look in their eyes.

You'd get sense small small.

Re: Smoking - Please Help by wickedtuna: 6:55pm On Aug 02, 2019
Try to always be in the company of people, like workplace. That reduces your smoking from say 6 sticks to 2. Thats a start

Re: Smoking - Please Help by LMandela(m): 11:33pm On Aug 29, 2019
Okay...

Average, how many sticks do you smoke in 24hrs? (don't tell me about packets, tell me how many sticks)

How often do you smoke? (duration between your smoking sessions?)

Where do you feel comfortable the most while smoking? (bar? at home? jungle?)

Do you like smoking alone or with friends?

What triggers you? (weed? pills? alcohol? depression? stress? lack of sleep?)

Answer the above questions, then we'll continue...

at least 20 sticks? (that's 1 packet)/3hrs (anytime - alone). I believe I can help you but DO YOU WANT TO STOP SMOKING?

BTW, You skipped a question:
• Where do you feel comfortable the most while smoking? (bar? at home? jungle?)

• How long have you been smoking?

• How old are you? (I don't need your exact age, give me age range e.g 25-30yrs, 20-25yrs etc...)

• Is it only Cigarettes you smoke?

• What brand of cigarettes do you smoke? (Rothmans, Benson & Hedges, Dorchester, Pall Mall, London, Oris, Bohem, Mond, Esse)

• Do you drink alcohol? Do you take pills?

• Assuming it wouldn't impact your health, will YOU WANT TO STOP SMOKING?
Re: Smoking - Please Help by number2016(m): 9:26am On Aug 30, 2019

I mostly take just cigarettes.. but I do a little of weed at most twice a month...
