Need to quit smoking (tobacco)
Cold turkey. That's the only way I know that works. I agree with ghosty and hippiegirl. A quitting buddy really helps. Been looking for one of those for a while. Everybody I hang out with smokes and none of them seem to wanna quit all that bad. Starting at 11 has already done serious damage. She needs some kind of example. Especially at her current age, she's likely to set the rest of her life on what peers do for the next few years. I recommend anybody quit smoking. I fucking hate cigarettes with a passion. But can't quit. My biggest mistake in life by a long shot. Good luck with your friend and hopefully yourself too. However it turns out, it's not your fault. Everybody is at their own fault for smoking despite the advice shoved in your face every damn where. I kinda also blame the government for keeping them legal at all.

Yes, you can. Believe it, and then you'll be able to. It worked for me, after smoking for years.
Unless someone else is holding a gun to your head and making you smoke, you can quit. It's just a matter of willpower.
And contrary to popular belief, willpower isn't something that some people naturally have more or less of than other people. Willpower is a choice. The more you choose to exercise it, the stronger it will get.

Willpower may be exactly the problem here. I know I can quit if I really wanted. But idk if she has the willpower TO quit. And like I said, in the end there's nothing you can really do. The person has to want to help themselves. So yea idk... but regret is the worst thing in the world and god forbid anything ever does happen to her, I'm gonna feel like it's my fault.

I'm quitting smoking right now and it sucks...Bad...Real Bad...Fuck shit ass bad.
There is an herbal Fasting Tea that has pretty much the same stuff in it as the herbal stop smoking kits that I would recommend. If you like to make your own tea here are the herbs in it. Yogi Tea Online Store | Product Catalog
it's on this website. you can probably find it at a health store of some sort around your area too. maybe walmart or hyvee
If you feel like making the tea yourself here is a list of herbs that can help.
(it's another stop smoking thing, but the herb list is pretty comprehensive and gives some good explanations)

I'm out of cigarettes now. It's too late to feel like running to the store. Think I'll hit some butts for a few more minutes, go to bed, and try not to buy another pack tomorrow. We'll see how that turns out.

I'm sorry for skipping the whole thread. I understand tobacco's addictive but it's mind over matter, when it comes down to quitting. Yea I know some people "can't" end certain "addictions" but I've witnessed -many- overcome -most- so I also know it's possible.
It's just that... this comment.

Why would it be your fault? Don't think like that. You need to stay positive most of all for her even if you do or don't quit. You sound like a very dedicated friend, just be sure not to TELL her to quit because then she will feel like she has lost power in your twos relationships, remember best friends think of them selfs as being equal. But im not sure if that you stop smoking it will help much, because it sounds like she smokes more then you do. (not sure if im right here). But if thats the case your jsut going to have to have a heart to heart talk to her, maybe do some research on the cancer that could come back. And get some pictures of what her insides will look like. Make sure you let her know your here to help and not judge her. Make sure she knows you love her, and would never let her down intentionally. I have helped friends off drugs, and its hard work. you have to be consistent with it and follow through. if you decided to quit with her make sure your not sneaking a cigg, because if you end up catching her in the act you cannot say anything.. But most of all this is your best friend you know her better then most. You know how addicted she is, and you know the way her mind thinks. Just work with that. good Luck to you and your friend.. i hope all turns out well..:hippy:
