i found gums better, you can have him talk to his doctor and consider zyban or chantix too, there are other prescription nicotene replacements too, good luck

When I mean chewing gum, I don't mean nicorette gum, but just regular chewing gum. My father was a smoker until he started chewing gum and then eventually stopped.

chewing gum also keeps your mouth busy and satisfies oral urges such as wanting something in your mouth at all times. chewing gum also relieves stress. He was able to successfully replace his cigarette habit with chewing gum.

Use this effective nicotine gum to on a regular schedule to prevent cravings throughout the day

I kinda started smoking when i was 14 and got addicted pretty fast, im 16 now and my parents still dont know i do it, i really need to stop, so i was wondering is this gum any good at filling your cravings, and also can you buy it if your not 18? cause its not tabacco.

You have to be 18 to buy it because it contains nicotine. Nicorette or generic and cheaper brands will absolutely take away the urge for a cigarette, but you have to follow the directions ( stop chewing and keep it by your gums). It should take you about 20 minutes to chew out all the nicotine. The gum may upset your stomach a little bit, but you get used to it. (It's not lung cancer is a breeze). It works if you work it. It is also very very addicting, but it doesn't contain the carcinogenic tars. Good luck. You may save people who love you from seeing you die a painful and ugly death from cancer and heart disease. Plus, you'd be a really lousy athlete which your kids would notice and be ashamed of. You don't need will-power, because the gum (which is expensive, but not like the drain of smokes) will do it for you. Please, please don't smoke anymore. It is an ugly, smelly, expensive and dangerous drug.

I want to stop smoking bad it started when i was a little younger as just fun and it was the cool thing to do but now since i been goin through so many problems and got this new job and got to deal wit school i started to start smoking just to take away stress as it does ease my pain it is just not the healthy thing to do and i wanna quit any advice?

You've got to make the decision to stop smoking and stick to it. Start by telling your family and friends that you're quitting. Get rid of all your cigarettes, too -- no point in tempting yourself!

Two tips that really helped me quit:

1. Whenever you feel a craving take a deep slow breath. Your body has learned to associate deep breaths with smoking -- so often a deep slow breath will help stop a smoking craving.

2. Take a tube (from a pen or just a pen cap or something) and stick it in your mouth. Puff on it, pick it up and put it down. That helps to keep your hands busy and replaces the oral fixation fo smoking.

Good luck!

i want to quit smoking cus ive been smoking for a year and now im having trouble breathing. i tried nic gum but it doesnt work and is too expensive. what can i use to help?

I quit cold turkey, and it's been almost a year and a half now. This is my second time quitting, the first time was for 8 months. I had started again the first time because I constantly put myself in situations where I would normally smoke - so I recommend trying to avoid situations where you smoke, and maybe try to hang out with friends who don't smoke exclusively for awhile.

I have friends who have done the gum, the patch, the lozenges, the inhaler... etc etc. Nothing works for them. Personally, I think that having a scape goat like gum just sets you up for failure, because you are still working with the idea that you NEED something - either smoking, or something to replace the smoking.

In my opinion, the only way to really quit for good is with sheer willpower, and with changing the way you think - by teaching yourself to dislike smoking, and to not need smoking.

PS: if you are having trouble breathing, you should really see a doctor.
