I’ve been smoking for 12 years and I want to know what it is like to breath again….Is there any help out there?
there is no easy way in stopping a vice in an instant specially smoking……it will take a lot of will power……and motivation
I want to stop smoking once and for all, but I love to do it. I use the excuse that its my only "vice" because I dont drink, do drugs. or overeat which i know is irrational. But its so hard when I’m faced with the temptation of it constantly because my best friends smoke. Does anyone have any tips on how to stay strong and not give in to the temptation when every one close to you is smoking and you’re trying to quit?
I can certainly understand how difficult it is to break the habit when all your friends are lighting up. But think of it this way. You’re too smart to let cigarettes ruin your health or be chained to a bad habit. You can feel far more superior to them because you are going to live longer and be healthier. Besides, the money you’re spending now on cigarettes — and they aren’t cheap—can be better spent on things you really enjoy, such as new clothes, hairdos, tickets to plays and sporting events, or even save up for a big purchase, like a vacation in the Bahamas or a nice new car. Give yourself small rewards for resisting temptation. When your friends see how much will power you have, they too, might consider quitting. Good luck!
A couple of weeks ago, on my way home from school, I caught my little Brother (who is only 12) smoking with some of his friends from school. Naturally, I confronted him and asked him what the hell he was thinking, especially at such a young age. After our confrontation, he told me that this was only his first time and he wouldn’t be doing it again – he thought it was disgusting. Taking this into account, I let it be thinking that he was being honest with me, as we have a close relationship.
However, today walking back home from school I saw him smoking again, which has therefore given me the indication that my brother lied to me, and that he had no intentions to stop smoking in the first place, as well as it not being his first time in trying it. It’s really angered and hurt me that he has lied to me, and part of me feels that I should go to my parents about it, but part of me is not too sure as it could wreck our relationship.
Anywho, do you think I should let it be (again) or tell my parents about what my brother has been up to?
All opinions welcome,

The first time my little brother did i dint tell cause he promised me it was gross and he didn’t like it but after i caught him after that i told my mom. I would especially since he is so young
other than going to jail……
quit buying it
Hi ladies and gentlemen. Here’s my story, i’ve been in my relationship coming up to 10 months, a few weeks ago i got engaged to my girlfriend and we are due to be married in 4 days now. (Dont judge, this isnt the question!) We were long-distance for a certain amount of time, me from England, her from America. We fell in love, and now we are together. In the beginning of the relationship my girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend of 2 and a half years (with a couple of breakups) wouldn’t go away. He kept on, wouldn’t leave her alone, but being a little naive she felt guilty for breaking up with him and thought that they could still be best friends. At first i was fine but as we got closer and i was in a different country i found this hard and i tried to control her out of it. Wrong or not it’s what i did. This guy is a jerk too, my girlfriend is a saint, pretty much a sweetheart, an emotional girl but a strong one. Her ex is considered a "hot jerk: i think the term is. He smokes drugs, is a computer genius and aces college, and gets spoilt by his rich parents and has numerous hot cars. I am not and i dont have that.
My fiance’ had numerous ex’s but his one bothers me the most. I can see she had a strong attachment too him, in a relationship (where she keeps re-assuring me it’s not) i feel like i care about her more than she does me, i pretty much wear my heart on my sleeve. I feel this is how she was with her ex-boyfriend, the worrier. And now i have taken over that role. Contact between them got to a point of nothing in Feb when she found out after they broke up a week later he slept with one of her best friends when drunk. There was a big fight where she gave him a black eye (WeHEY!) and told me she never wanted to see or speak to him again. I was obviously very happy with this and stood by my girlfriend. I could relax. Her ex was good friends with her friend and her twin sister, who wasn’t so keen on me at the time. It got to a point where they were saying if she didnt hang out with him (ina group) then she wasnt friends with them, so she did it, sometimes behind my back. This hurt me a lot. I tried controlling her in the situation, saying she knows how much it hurts me and if she’s still willing to risk all we have to hang out with him, then he means too much to her. She recently told me that all it was is she knew he was in depression back then for a long time and felt guilty, because he was a good friend to her. She didn’t want anything crazy to happen. I accepted it and the conversation was dropped.
However, my fiance’ and i have been getting into a lot of fights lately, about little things, the silliest of things. I admit to thinking i am in the wrong a lot. I get jealousy easy, i can be a little posessive, a little too serious, all things that i am trying to stop. I admitted them too her and she knows i am trying. The weird thing is the things that piss her off the most are that i am always asking for her re-assurance on everything, and when i say something her reaction decides what mood i am in based upon the topic. She says that i dont trust her and i worry too much about everything. She promises me she is not going anywhere and to just live in the moment. And although recently she still promised me she doesn’t want to hang out with or talk to her ex-boyfriend, everytime we have a big fight i ask her if she does, and she says yes just as friends. I couldn’t do this, i know i cant put up with this, its way too much. He was a dick to her, forced drugs upon her, hit her at times, but for some reason because he is so popular it means something? :/ Even with this, knowing i cant i said if she wanted to i’d be willing to try, i told her i would be so uncomfortable with it but if in her heart she really wants to then i will try my best because i love her. When i said this she grabbed me tight, kissed me and told me she loves me so much. I asked why hanging out with him means so much to her, and she said it’s not that, it’s that she doesn’t like me having control over it. I always bad talk her ex, even though we are getting married because it makes me feel better. Am i doing something wrong here? Everytime his name pops up, be it if we see him in the street, online, or her sister mentions him or she does from her past it drives me absolutely crazy. How can i stop myself doing this and worrying so much about the future? How can i make my fiance’ be the one to start worrying if i feel the same?! (just to keep her on her toes.) Can anyone tell me really what’s happening here? I am scared that now i said that in 2 weeks or 2 months she is going to want to hang out with him, and that if i contest it she will hold it against me saying i said i would try. I cant naturally pretend to be happy about this. What can i do? Am i in the wrong?
Why do i constantly need re-assurance? (or sub-conciously ask for it) and why is it bothering my fiance’ so much????! why do i freak out when i see him or hear his name?
P.S — He got a new girlfriend so pretty much moved on it seems to her and she got jealous. She admitted to me that she was jealous and she didn’t know why. This hurt me. Is this normal? What can i do about it so i dont go crazy?? I know she doesn’t have any romantic feelings for him, that i am sure of. She promised and swore to God, and i know my fiance’ on that. But this is why i dont get it, if she doesn’t, why does this keep happening, is it me???
Kind Regards. Sorry for the essay, but any help here is going to be so greatly appreciated.

Jesus, what kind of a f***ing answer is that Natalia.
Thanks Terra. If i do this, and if i stop my control over it, do you think her desire to hang out with her ex will stop? I couldn’t take it if for the rest of her life she is friends with him. I am hoping it is a phase that will pass.

SHE IS NOT ON THE RE-BOUND. SHE LEFT THIS GUY FOR ME!
-Richard
Anybody else, please?
Yes ouragon, she left him for me so what do you mean we are in a re-bound relationship? That we are not. What did you mean?
And things actually got cleared up today, what do you all make of this… she kept on and on and said the reason shes been like this is because she needed to talk to her ex because her twin sister warned her that he might try to crash our wedding in a few days. She was worried about it and also didn’t want him to hate her. She called him, he said he didnt hate her and wished us both the best of luck. I then called him to put behind any rivalry that we had with no hard feelings. My fiance’ says that’s the last of it, should i believe her and be happy and concentrate now on our relationship and making myself the best possible husband i can be?

Dwelling in the past will surely make you miserable. I have learned the hard way and still fall back into the same old rut sometimes.
She might not like you asking for reassurance because she wants a strong man with good self esteem, probably how you seemed to her when you first got together.
My suggestion to you is live in the present, she is with you now, do something to improve your self esteem, when you start thinking the bad thoughts about her ex, go for a walk, read a book or do something else to take your mind off those thoughts about the ex. Whatever you do, I would try hard not to discuss it with her because it sounds like you may be starting to push her away since it is making her irritated when you talk about it.
There is a misconception that marijuana kills brain cells but what actually happens is this: Neurons are made of two parts; the cell bodies and axons. The cell bodies contain fiberous extentions called dendrites which receive information from the axon terminals of the adjacent cell. That information is then channeled through the neuron to the axon terminal and again to the dendrite of another cell. Frequent marijuana use will cause the dendrites to shorten therefore widening the synapses between cells making information get lost in transmission. Heres the kicker… Even with regular use, dendrites grow back after a month or two of not smoking. Here is an essay I recently wrote about the subject.
A letter to the religious right involved in Reagan’s war on marijuana
I am not a Christian nor am I a pothead, however, after speculating over the role of the Christian right in the criminalization of marijuana usage and possession, I found it necessary to make an argument using Christian methods against it. I feel that it is necessary to add that I was raised christian so I do not intend to use bible verses that I know nothing about. I know the bible just as well and better than many Christians. I am also a psychology student in college and the psychological information I will use in my argument came directly from textbooks and lectures on the subject. I have two arguments to discuss, the first using strictly biblical elements and the second with human physiological elements to enhance and accelerate the original.
The arguments involved are sophomorically simple.
Genesis 1:9-13 Says this: 9And God said, "Let the waters beneath the sky be gathered into one place so dry ground may appear." And so it was. 10God named the dry ground "land" and the water "seas." And God saw that it was good. 11Then God said, "Let the land burst forth with every sort of grass and seed-bearing plant. And let there be trees that grow seed-bearing fruit. The seeds will then produce the kinds of plants and trees from which they came." And so it was. 12The land was filled with seed-bearing plants and trees, and their seeds produced plants and trees of like kind. And God saw that it was good. 13This all happened on the third day.
27-31: 27
So God created people in his own image;
God patterned them after himself;
male and female he created them.
28God blessed them and told them, "Multiply and fill the earth and subdue it. Be masters over the fish and birds and all the animals." 29And God said, "Look! I have given you the seed-bearing plants throughout the earth and all the fruit trees for your food. 30And I have given all the grasses and other green plants to the animals and birds for their food." And so it was. 31Then God looked over all he had made and he saw that it was excellent in every way. This all happened on the sixth day.
The kicker… After God kicked Adam and Eve out of the garden, he had this to say to them: 3 17And unto Adam He said, "Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee, saying, `Thou shalt not eat of it,’ cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.
18Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee, and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.
These three excerpts tell us two things: God created the plethora of plants that we have on Earth and gave them to humans and animals for their consumption. Now before the reader suggests that we were to eat the fruits and seeds were for the birds, the second part of my argument must be considered. Marijuana and tobacco are the only drugs that grow naturally and do not have to be processed and synthesized before consumption. Alcohol has to be processed and it is legal. Marijuana is not. The devil, serpent, satan, whatever you want to call the spirit of darkness has never and will never have the authority to change the godly composition of Gods creations. The devil did not put the active ingredients in the marijuana plant and it would be impossible for him to cause the second part of my argument involving the physiology of humans nervous systems. The only power he has is to deceive and deception cannot change the fact that God made plants and people the way we are physiologically.
The active ingredients in marijuana pass through the blood-brain barrier and enter the central nervous system where they bind to three different receptor sites on the neurons. These receptors are called Delta 9 THC, 2-AG, and Anamine receptors. These receptor sites are activated only by cannabinoids from the marijuana plant and nothing else. Nicotine works in much the same way though there is only one receptor. All other drugs work by manipulating natural receptors in the brain that neurotransmitters use normally. For example, PCP works as a glutamate antagonist, blocking the natural processes of glutamate which works in opposition to the neurotransmitter dopamine. When glutamate is blocked, dopamine takes over and too much dopamine in the brain causes hallucinations, odd behavior, and delusional thinking. Cocaine works as an agonist for dopamine and other neurotransmitters causing more to be in the system than normal. Unlike marijuana, drugs like PCP, cocaine, heroine, designer drugs, etc. work by taking over the natural processes in the brain and bastardizing them to work in ways that do not occur naturally.
Marijuana, unlike any other drug, does not affect the brainstem. The brainstem is a system of regions in the back of the brain at the base of the spinal cord that monitors vital statuses like breathing rate and heart rate. There are neurotransmitter receptor sites all over the brain including the brainstem but there are no cannabinoid receptors in the brainstem. Take alcohol just as an example: by opening the sites for Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter, the nervous system slows down. Since alcohol affects the brainstem, breathing and heart rate slow down too. An overdose of alcohol can slow systems down to the point where they stop and the user can die. Because it does not affect the brainstems regulation of vital functioning, marijuana is the only drug that someone cannot die of an overdose from.
God designed our bodies. God designed our nervous systems. God pieced our brains together long before scientists figured out how they worked. God put these three receptors in our brains on purpose. There must be some significance there. He created these three receptor sites in our brains before the original sin was committed. Many religions have considered the marijuana plant holy in the past. Mind you, I do not advocate a world where everyone smokes pot all the time. Anything can be abused. Too much of anything is bad Too much food can cause obesity or heart problems, Too much sun will cause a sunburn, Too much water can kill you, too much vitamin A will cause blindness, Too much alcohol can cause liver damage. Im not advocating that everyone should participate in marijuana consumption either. The only argument I am making is that to criminalize a plant created by God that human bodies are designed to process is not only un-Christian but unethical, immoral, illogical, ignorant, and an infringement on our rights as Americans to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
good for migrains to
what would you suggest?
(except an outright ban)
Figure out a way to take all the nicotine out of cigarettes! Because that’s the totally addictive part of them, and without it people could give up a lot easier….
I’m a bit worried about how my mental state will react when I stop smoking weed after being a heavy user.
Does anyone know of any non-prescription drug techniques that can help during this time period?
Taking a drug to stop taking a drug doesn’t make any sense. Especially since marijuana is less addicting than caffeine.
Quitting marijuana won’t cause onset of psychosis, and even smoking marijuana doesn’t cause psychosis. It’s a skewed "fact" about marijuana. The only cases of anyone having mental disorders from marijuana use are from people who are predisposed to mental illness and have borderline mental problems.
I need ways/tips to encourage my mom to stop/quit smoking cigarettes. I have tried telling her it is slowly killing her, but she just won’t listen. PLEASE help!
I don’t want to lose my mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tell her everyday that you love her and you hope that she will consider stopping smoking so you will have her as a Mom longer. Also, she should quit smoking so that the second hand smoke doesn’t affect you and others.
She should try to cut down even one cigarette per week at one time. Less and less. Then go to "casual" smoking (one here and there per month) then NONE! She can do it. She just has to want to. Motivation, find her some.
Good luck to you and your Mom.
p.s. don’t YOU start smoking either! ever!
Why would you blame the Asian girls for being smart and beauty conscious? They like to take care of their skin and avoid the Sun. And they NEVER BLEACH their skin. How horrible would that be for your skin? They are not Michael Jackson. Okay?
If you go back to the Chinese paintings of the 1400’s you will see the pale skin of Asian women. It’s their genes.
They are NOT YELLOW. It was the Europeans who first used this word to insult the Asians who smoked Opium and looked sick.
Real East Asians are NATURALLY pale! Stop hating on them for it! If you can’t hate someone because their skin is dark. Then how can you hate someone for being pale?
Geez.
Dont worry, it’s not you, it’s black people. They’re just confused and like to take their blind rage out on people besides whites now and then. I’m sorry you were brought into this mess.
