I need ideas of somethings to suggest my boyfriend uses to stop smoking. He’s been smoking for 5 years & he’s gotten to the point where he can smoke 3 packs in 24 hours.
Ive smoked for going on 9 yrs. Im 22.I already know smoking is bad for me. I dont want any bullshit answers, serious answers only please. Ive tried "Quit Line Iowa". Ive tried cold turkey. Ive stopped when I got really sick but cant seem to beak the cycle. Please again, serious answers only. Im not here to be bashed.
I also was prescribed welbutrin, but makes me feel flighty.
I have been smoking since I was 10 years old. That was 10 years ago. What are some of the cheap & easiest ways to stop smoking and get into better health?
I also live with smokers and ride with 2 smokers to work. I am always around it.
I don’t want to gain extra weight & want to exercise. Although I realize that when one stops smoking, they tend to consume more food. I am sure there are measures to take that will curb this habit. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I smoke cigarettes (nothing else). I asked my 10 year old what he wanted for Christmas this year and he told me the only thing he really wants is for me to quit (bless his heart). Now, before I go talk to my doctor I just wanted to know what has worked for others who have quit smoking. Also before you blast me for smoking in the first place, yes I was a stupid 16 year old who wanted to look "cool" but got hooked, and no I’m not proud of it. And no, I don’t smoke around my kids either, I smoke out side.
And yes this is a serious question and yes I know it’s in the wrong section, but the M&D people are the only ones I would actually listen to for advice.
When you smoke, all the tobacco goes up in smoke. The tobacco is burnt away leaving ashes. Doesn’t the fire of a cigerette kill those harmful chemicals, germs, & bacteria? Is there a way to successfully stop besides not starting in the first place?

am 46 , I am 153(I use to be 190) I am 6.2. I always had high blood pressure(since the age of 16) and it was always emotional high blood pressure. I started taking BP medication about 8 years ago. Now I am on 2 medications Coreg 12.5 per day & Benicar 40mg per day. I switched to a Fruitarian Rwafoodist diet and my readings got mucfh better. Last week my readings dropped to 100/62. At work I had an icident and the paramedics came. My doctor told me to stop both medications right away and resume when my BP is normal. Do I really need to resume? What are my options here? Thanks
It has been 4 days and my BP average 115/82(without meds).
I have been on my Fruitarian-Rawfoodist diet for about 1 year 1/2
I have no cardio problem except that I am emotional that’s why Coreg
In case my BP comes back to normal /bordeline range I was thinking going for hawthorn berries?
PS: I almost got into a cardio arrest because of those 2 meds at work. So plz telling me to talk to my doc first won’t improve things. My diet profile has totally changed as well as my weight . I use to be 190 when I started the treatment.
coz i keep hearing that it’s not good for young people to take blood pressure reducing drugs, is it just something that people keep mumbelling about, or is it based on facts,
& what exactly about Angiotensin-converting Enzyme Inhibitors coz i read in wikipedia they’r used to treat heart failure (my heart is working fine)
am 45. Fruitarian-Rawfoodist , 150 for 6.2. I was on 2 blood pressure medications for a few years but because of my diet & weight loss , my blood pressure dropped to 100/65 and I almost passed out. I was told to stop the medications then resume when it get to 140/80. I don’t wish to resume my meds but I would like to try an alternative treatment. I purchased some hawthorn berry pills. So far it has reduce my heart beats from 95 to 80 but in order to reduce my BP how many should I take? I only take 1 per day. My BP is now between 125/83 to 145/98 during the day. Thanks
