I am 17 been smokin for a year ?

Question

i want to give up but i cant coz all ma mates smoke and i get to about a week then i start again what should i do

Answer 1

The stop smoking aids you get from the chemist are very expensive, but you could try and get them on prescription from your GP.

The first step if you're going to do it on your own is to cut down - never smoke when you're on your own to start with. You need to break your habits. I used to light a cigarette when I got in my car after work every day. Then I stopped taking cigarettes to work with me so I couldn't do this anymore and soon I was only smoking socially when I had a drink with friends. Support is key as well - stopping smoking with a friend is so much easier. Though you HAVE to be honest with each other.  

Answer 2

Get some self control.

Answer 3

Hi nadine.baybee ..!

Giving it up, the smoking.. would be very nice..

You can do that..

Don't mind your mates..

They are bad influence to you,,

You should have your self discipline..

As to my age, a very young age, 10 years old..

I know what to avoid..

I know that smoking leads to lung cancer, heart problems and others..

Why did you take smoking? Was it because you are curious?

As the saying says "Curiosity kills the cat".

It's very hard to stop smoking if it's already a year..

and yet if you don't have self-discipline..

there is a gum i know to help u stop smoking..

i just don't remember the specific name..

but it's expensive,,

dont be easily influenced by others..

hope u gt my point!

Answer 5

the best thing to avoid smoking and to be effective in your self and others is to search ,and learn ,

you are not young ,you are a big girl and you know its bad ,that doesn't stop making you crave it ,

if you want to be a girl who does everything because others do then i assure you that one day you will regret this very much because you have to have your own vision and path ,you aren't a slave for others ,or someone who has no will do anything

you are a free soul and if a cigarette captures you that way ,how do you expect you will react with a man and a family

talk to yourself ,don't say they smoke ,yes they do ,don't be one of them ,find another group ,you don't need such people to hang with ,better

hang with smart people ,with successful boys and girls and do good to yourself and others ,

Answer 7

Honestly. How are they proper mates if they got into smoking in the first place, and if they can't be bothered to give up to and live a longer life then they aren't worth keeping.

Answer 8

I gave up at 17 after smoking since i was 13...

seems hard at first but now iv been smoke free for about a year and i dont even think about it, if you crave stand next to someone smoking ;)

i gave up with a friend which made it easier so mayb persuade your mates? but if not.. you will feel more powerful than your friends..men prefer it if you dont smoke FACT! my boyfriend loved the fact i gave up and said its more clean and classy..haha good luck :)
