Your Stop Smoking Blog

Okay. So, my boyfriend is becoming a pothead and it’s getting ridiculous. He smokes every chance that he gets, probably at least 5 times a day. I’ve been trying to get him to stop for awhile now and every reason I tell him why smoking weed is bad, he always has to smart come back to why it isn’t bad and that i shouldn’t worry about it. Any ideas about how I can get him to stop smoking weed?

The funny way is to put chili powder in his stash of weed =).

But really, tell him that if he doesn’t stop, you will never talk to him again. That will show you 2 things. Whether or not he cares about you enough to stop smoking, or if he acts all smart to u…..just dont talk to him if he doesnt have the heart to stop weed for his girlfriend.

I want to quit smoking and am desperate for support. I have tried patches, Welbutrin, and other ways including support groups. I am considering this medication along with a support group. Anyone had any luck with this? Has anyone had any luck with any thing else?

ok so i havent personally taken the pills but my mom and two aunts have. two of three succeeded. But let me warn you the side effects can be drastic, read them, and it shows. So the two that have quit, one did the support group where she had to set a quit date and talked with everyone during difficult times and the other, my mom, did not use a support group.

this year on april 5 and may ninth will be there two year. Goodluck and i hope that this will work out for you.

Im glad to see your trying to become heathier and im sure the people in your life will enjoy the years you gain back with you.

Oh and…good for you bud. It takes guts to do that.

My boyfriend is 17 and has been smoking cigarettes for a year now, only one or two a day, but last night we discussed in a very emotional conversation that we mutually want to help him quit smoking, as his girlfriend, what are some things I can do to be supportive in his time of need and what can I do to help? What are some things that will help him kick the habit?
He’s also trying to stop smoking marajuana, which is easier for him.
Thank you.
Yes, his friends all smoke aswell, he hangs out with the "stoners" I guess you could say, which is a big factor but I can’t change that. He really wants to quit for me.

He needs to change his habits. If he normally smokes first thing in the morning he needs to do something else during that time and make new habits. He needs to decide that this is what he really wants and just do it. He needs to avoid others that smoke for a while, skip the parties and such where smoking happens. You can support him by making other plans with him so he doesn’t feel completely left out as the non-smoker. I say this because I am assuming he isn’t the only one smoking, most of his friends do as well. This is what worked for me. My tipping point was when my 3 year old brother started to pretend he was smoking. That really crushed me and gave me a reason to quit. He needs a good reason too, doing it for his health isn’t normally good enough.

I have smoked since i was 18 im 25 now, i quit for a year even then i craved. I wanna stop for good.

The coincidence is uncanny.I went to a hypnotist when I was 25.Im now 34 and I still dont smoke.I was a chain smoker since I was 17.The trick is to realise that every day you dont smoke is worth celebrating.I have smoked on several occasions since i.e. when very drunk. but that never meant I was Back on Them.Just that I was drunk (there are people who never smoked and yet will have one when drinking.)If you dont smoke for 2 months and then have a cigarette it does’nt mean you are back on them,it just means you are a human being who is in the process of giving up.This is’nt bull****.Ive been off them 9 years now.Iknow what Im talking about.Good Luck Man…….although the hardest part was the first few nights out.

I’ve been smoking for years, and years now. I am trying to stop but, it seems like the more i say that, the more i smoke. I work all day, and handle my business properly, ( and no i do not smoke at work), but when i get home i always need to light one up just to relax from a hard days labor, and from the crazy corrupted world that we live in today. I have quit smoking when the time was always neccessary, but at a time when i really wanna quit, it seems to be that i can’t. Could someone give me some advice.

still can’t stop; smoking as we speak.

Marijuana is an addictive substance and dont let anyone make you think otherwise. I was addicted to pot for 10 yrs straight. Day in and day out. I to "handled my business" and was a very "functional" pothead, so to speak. But I couldnt go for a day without it. I used for every reason imaginable. Happy, sad, stressed, excited, whatever, cause I am an addict. The first step for you is to admit that you are an addict, and accept it. There is a great website called MA online, its a chat room that offers hope and recovery for addicts. There are meetings there, many people like yourself that feel helpless to pot. Its a great place, I know it sounds corney, but that room has helped me get my life together more than anything I tried on my own. Ive been clean now for 2 yrs, 1 month, and 26 days! Go to www.ma-online.org/chatroom1.html. Good luck.

Just seems people might be more inclined to purchase if the cost in one pop was not so high…your opinions?

well, i used nicorette gum, I had to buy about 4 boxes of that nasty gum, but i used it all and I haven’t smoked in about 3 years, so i don’t know, i just thought of all the money i would save on not buying smokes.

My parents have been smoking for years. I have asthma and I have a 3 year old little brother. My parents try not to smoke around us and used to smoke out of our chimney in the winter. But now we just moved into a new house, and there is no fireplace so they just smoke in the house. They Can’t afford to use those quit smoking programs and buying cigarettes 3 times a day doesn’t help. They are truly amazing people, but smoking isn’t really making a good influence on others esapecially my brother and I. How can I get them to stop smoking?

When I was kid I used to throw my parents cigarettes down the toilet. They both ended up quitting. True story.

My best friend is in a lot of trouble she skipped out on probation for a year. Now she wants to clean up her act and turn herself in. She has been smoking weed with her bf for over a year. She quit 3 weeks ago to clean her system before she turns herself in. Her bf on the other hand won’t stop and keeps smoking in front of her and letting his friends smoke and make fun of her. Even the people she works with smoke weed as well. She says it’s hard to stop because people around her do it. Plus her bf keeps asking her for money all the time. He’s on ssi and he uses his monthly check on rent,child support and his son to go to the school of rock. So he is broke entirely so he demands his gf to give him 300 a month plus pay for his utilities. I think he is using her he even tells her he don’t care about her. Her grandmother and I are trying to convince her to leave him. She keeps saying she’s codependent. But why stay in a relationship with a man who doesn’t respect you and just use you. She’s 29 he’s 56 she likes them old don’t ask me why. lol
well she has probation so she can’t smoke weed it would make things bad with the court. Weed maybe harmless but its aginst the law. She is in trouble with the law that’s why she needs to keep clean or she will get intouble.

There is nothing wrong with weed if she starts doing crack or heroin then i would worry but marijuana is a thousand times less harmfull than alcohol or ciggaretes
