I'm in the same boat. A year ago I stopped for about 5 months, I used the pills Chantix. I ended up smoking again and am now trying to quit. I agree with some of the others, trying to keep busy. Alot of the times the craving would pass if I tried to think about something else.

if you haven't been smoking long then just chew gum and work out a lot to keep your mind off of smoking also stop hanging out with whatever friends got you into smoking in the first place. it's totally not cool and it doesn't make you more grown up i have a lung problem myself and trust me buddy you don't want one of those you should be more respectful of your body and not take it for granted. it's the only one you'll get. but anyway if that's all not enough my husband used the patch to quit smoking and he had been smoking for 12 years and it's been 3 or 4 years now and he never has touched another cigarette, so they work pretty well. I'm not saying it will be easy but you can do it just be strong and hang in there and think about the good you'll be doing for yourself, others, and the planet! you'll be in my prayers. good luck.

I'm 24 and I started at 16 and am still a smoker, much to my dismay. I can't quit for longer than a week. Don't get like me. I go through a pack and a half a day. Go cold turkey, avoid the smell of smoke, and distract yourself by finding new hobbies or anything else to take your mind off the craving.

You actually can get most free help to stop smoking by yourself.

After all, the whole cessation process depends on your determination and motivation. Whenever you feel uncertain that you want to quit or you are show weakness in the face of the first serious craving, then nothing can assist you.

Do you know what smoking can do to you as a teen? Teenagers who smoke are often bad at sports, don’t necessarily aspire to go to college and tend to skip class more. Many teens who smoke also start using other illegal drugs and they begin experimenting with alcohol. Statistics show that nicotine is considered the number one entrance drug leading into other drug abuse problems. So if you don't want to be in more trouble, stop smoking now!

At 14 I can't imagine it's very easy for you to obtain them. But just don't get them anymore, it's a lot of will power. After the first day, your body doens't physically crave the nicotine anymore so it's all will power after that. Try to keep yourself busy, buy candy, toothpicks, popsicles, whatever works for you. Eventually you won't even feel the urge to smoke during triggers.

You need to change your outlook on smoking, remember when you first started smoking, when it tasted like crap, and you coughed your lungs out? But you kept telling yourself how great it was to smoke, and you patted yourself on the back for smoking?

You have to do the same thing when quitting, You have to pat yourself on the back every day that your not smoking, and be proud of it.

Just stop. Dont even think about smoking.

It's really up to your mind on how much you want to push on kicking the habit. Its tough and everyone is different, many people will tell you many suggestions, but you only have to pick one for yourself and go with it. Life will go on for you. Keep it simple.

good luck

It can be kind of expensive but my mom quit using one of the patches. Try keeping yourself busy when you want to smoke. Eat candy, chew gum, something like that. Maybe even just try calling someone or talking to someone to get your mind off it you know? Try reminding yourself that if you can get through the next few minutes without it you won't need it. You are stronger than the cigs, you just have to prove that to yourself, okay? :)

And actually if you need support or need to talk/vent to get your mind of stuff or smoking itself feel free to msg me anytime
