writes:This may seem pathetic but its true. Simply put I'm an old kid and besides from the usual crap teenagers have to deal with I seem to make everything worse for myself and because I can't deal with it I smoke. It started out at smoking with my friends just to have a good time but then I started doing it more and more till it got to every day, then at least twice a day including before school. Now I hide it from a lot of people for a while but after a while I stopped caring and during this there was a really special girl that I was on and off with. Now the thing is I really did love her and she loved me but we both screwed it up a lot and she started to think I was addicted to smoking. Now the problem is since me and her stopped talking I constantly drive away girls and replace that contact with smoking. How can I break this habit once and for all? Reply to this Question

 I know where you're coming from with the smoking it starts off as fun and as it progresses it becomes a habit. You may not want to admit your addicted but i think the second you started replacing girls for your daily smokes you have to admit you are. Chances are girls are a huge stress to you that's why you find the need to smoke (stress reliever) but the truth is also no one wants to make out with an ashtray. You need to start cutting down, my advice to you is get a cigarette case. I say this because you can fill it to however many cigarettes you want that day and not carry the pack around with you. When drinking as i guess you do DO NOT carry smokes with you as that is the worst craving time i find. When u dont have them on you u will either need to ask for some which can become needy after a while or you just dont smoke.
I know it seems kinda to simple or stupid but i used to smoke and now im done with it. there will always be a time you have a craving but you just have to suck it up and have some self control.

 You could just think abut the actualscience beside smoking, thats the main reason I don't smoke.
There are no relaxants in ciggarettes, not a single one. The whole "take one because im stressed" thing is purely psychological, a placebo effect kind of thing.
Cigarettes also contain shedloads of stimulants, so would in effect make you more stressed.
Remember that next time you want to take a drag ;)
