Answer

Well when you stop you need to find coping skills to replace the need for cigarettes. Find something to motivate you wether its because youll be healthier or because youll be saving money.

Answer

Millions of people have depression and stress without smoking. You find other coping skills. That will look different for everyone. But certainly those patches and lozenges are helpful. Bombard yourself with the realities of how smoking destroys your body. When you’re older, you will absolutely regret not having put in the (hard) work to quit. 
My mom has been a smoker for 50 years. She fell 6 days ago and her hip broke so bad she needed a hip replacement. Likely because smoking has destroyed her bone density. She also frequently gets double pneumonia. And is a broken woman who doesn’t look 65 but closer to 85. And she only smoked half a pack a day. Don’t be my mom. You deserve better.

Answer

You just deal with the depression. Smoking releases happy hormones when I quit I got depressed to but your body gets use to the normal level of hormones pretty quickly after. Maybe 2 months? It’s so worth it to quit. So long after I still crave a cigarette when I’m very stressed but it comes as quick as it goes. I breathe better and see no negative from quitting. You will be happy that you did.

Answer

You just have to do it. The longer you go without it the better things will get.

Answer

Read the complications caused by smoking cigarettes while pregnant. Some studies show it can increase cleft lip, miscarriage, damage to heart and lung tissue, it is also a good predictor that your child will use tobacco when they are older. Low birth weight. Preterm labor. The risk of SIDS increases quite a bit as well. Use this as motivation. It’s one thing to smoke on your own. But continuing to smoke while pregnant is putting those risks on your child. I had a hard time quitting too. I moved to a vape and slowly decreased nicotine until it was 0% then quit completely. I still haven’t picked up a cigarette 1 yr later. You just have to choose your child instead of your own selfish wants as harsh as that sounds.

Answer

I don’t smoke but if I did and wanted to quit I would probably have a picture of a smokers lungs after years of smoking as my wallpaper to remind me what I don’t want the insides of my body to look like. I have paranoia about cancer and shit like that so that would do it for me. But that’s just me.
