Effects of Smoking : How to Cleanse Body of Cigarette Smoking

[aFemale1]

Cute young man !

[Capnwabbit]

People say there's little physical withdrawal - but that's part of the problem! Smoking is ingrained as "normal", not with the numbness of smack or the buzz of coke, just normal. You don't crave a hit, you just crave normal, it's part of your life and as such it is way HARDER to quit smoking than pretty much any other drug. Having said that, quitting cold turkey does work as long as you remember the important bit - never take another puff. Not one - or you'll be back to square 1 all over again.

[Varkoth]

@juanaloulehoux Pot is non-addictive in the sense that there are no physical withdrawals during cessation. You do not become physically ill when you stop smoking weed. It If you can't break that habit, it does not mean that you are addicted, it means that you have no self-control. Having said that, don't smoke, kids!

[chuckie8466]

@Varkoth i smoked a oz. a week for about a year and a half and quit just like that. the first 3 days sucked because if i had a hour or 2 to kill before work or smothing thats all id wana do but if i didnt think about it i would never even wana smoke

[psychoactiv3z]

@Varkoth Yeah but you missed the part where he said he has a disease. Which by definition is unable to be cured by any methods it can however be made manageable.

[psychoactiv3z]

@Varkoth P.S. Your correct there are no physical withdrawal symptoms. But what about symptoms that manifest mentally?

[balletgirl21100]

im really healthy! I WILL NEVER SMOKE OR DRINK! life is a gift from god and i do NOT intend on wasting it with putting that poison in my precious innocent body.

[tehleetatheist]

@balletgirl21100 1. God does not exist. 2. Drinking is not a poison. 3. Smoking is not a poison.

The reason why they are not poisons is because of the fact that people use it.

Drugs are not poison stop calling it a poison because a poison would kill you faster then smoking or drinking or steroids,pcp,ect. ect.. im quiting ciggaretes because my family wants me to.

But im going to continue smoking reefer for that does not kill anybody.

[balletgirl21100]

@tehleetatheist do what u feel is best for u

[guitar7901]

@balletgirl21100 that is the kind of mindset todays youth needs, I am 18 years old, people are shocked that I have never even smoked a cigar, the worst I have done was tried a sip of wine, but when I turn 21 wine is all I will drink for alcohol only because heart disease runs in my family, and wine is good for the heart.

[SerbKing13]

It doesn't help to quit because the like/dislike bar looks like a cigarette...

[movadoband]

vaporizers are the way to go if you want nicotine without smoking.

[ad356]

@UnseenExhile that and pick up and ecig and start vaping

[movadoband]

@ad356 just did.

[mizzmonie100]

Do any of you know if standard urine tests can detect nicotine? If so, how long is it detectable after smoking for a smoker who smokes about two or three cigarettes every week?

I might have to go to rehab or a mental hospital very soon for my cutting addiction and my parents don't know I smoke, help!!

[winstono75]

@mizzmonie100 I don't remember seeing nicotine on the list of substances they can check for on the form they use (in Norway). Why would they check for it anyway...

[WOAHFOX]

@mizzmonie100 They only do drug tests (if any)

[napischu]

@mizzmonie100 It's detectable for up to 48 hours. Although you can trace it in the blood for about a week by checking your cotinine levels. Remember though, these numbers are rough estimations. I think nicotine has a half-life of about two hours.

[bistrosidecar]

There's so much miseducation about marijuana use. On both sides of the argument.

[Turdfergasen1107]

@bistrosidecar not really....

[movadoband]

@bistrosidecar when we finally isolate the medicinal prperties of this miraculous plant we will be able to treat any number of maladies currently treated with toxic pharmaceuticals.

[210482fmj]

these ignorant people who think smoking different substances doesnt harm the body are quite impossible to have an opinion with. like these people who think smoking weed doesnt harm the body. all smoke inhaled is unhealthy. the most worrying thing i have leanre dlately about smoking is also has the potential to damage youre eyes. you have to admit the thought of somethign that could damage youre eyes makes you sit and think

[loveweedification]

@UnseenExhile cant agree more!!!!!!

[lawnshark19]

@UnseenExhile Bud has more tar then cigarettes have you ever cleaned a bong

[UnseenExhile]

@lawnshark19 yes

[anilarkay]

@Frassbazz

I dont think so; gasoline engines can be many times more polluting. There wont be much carbon deposits if the contacts are engineered atleast near-ideally for the amount of voltage/current its supposed to carry.

[VeTeRaNFrEdEriX]

@youdeadniqqa ? thats not rare ya know? many males are nurses too..

[Frassbazz]

@UnseenExhile yea i smoke the same this straight bud im wondering tho if it can still give u cancer ????

[1982FMJ]

unfortuantely if you live in a city you are breathing in tons of exhaust fumes from vehicles. a filter mask is essential in nearly all urban enviroments. ideally you should wear a filter mask when driving as exhaust fumes enter the cabin. the air we breath is polluted. everywhere you go electrical devices spread carbon. electricity is a very dirty power. when you look at an electrical plug and see all the dirty sooty carbon on it it gives you an idea how dirty electricity is.

[TheProvincijalac]

i quit smoking 7 months ago,and im curious how long need to clean my lungs and body(i was smoking around 15 years)...i heard a diferent versions-from couple a years,to whole decade... sorry on my bad English.

[phuckthis1234]

I read "the easy way" and was completely ready to quit but the book said not to quit until you read the whole thing. Bad Idea that was 4 months ago and by the time I got to the end of the book the motivation was gone

[beefcakepantiehoes]

just buy e-ciggs

[missdimples1982]

To stop smoking is not hard, I was a chain smoker for just over a decade, please take my advise and read one of Allen Carr's easy way to stop smoking or attend one of his clinics, no will power needed, good luck : )

[ScottishHades]

@missdimples1982 So did I, almost nine weeks without a cigarette, yippee! (I read the book). I had a really tough time about six weeks in but my mum got me through it with her own experience. It is brilliant to not need a cigarette.

[missdimples1982]

@ScottishHades Its a shame the method has not got full recognition, but for me it was a life saver, im so happy now and have the energy to go with it, im glad for you too : )

[maddeh77]

@torin555666 You should really quit like right now,

Im 15, started smoking when i was 13, biggest mistake of my life, i cant do PE longer then 5 minutes, after about 5 mins im literally on the floor out of breath.

I got myself into smoking, i was the one that picked it up and puffed away, iv'e tried to quit so many times. Imagine how hard it would be for the people that have been smoking waaaay longer. Just a tip, quit now before its extremely hard

[ScottishHades]

@maddeh77 Just a note, teenagers are the hardest people to stop smoking because it has not dragged you down like it has those that have smoked for 5, 10, 20, 30 years (ie health, finance and the progressive need for nicotine). Try Allen Carr's Easyway. I am 17 and smoked 80 a day and started when I was twelve. You CAN do it.

[maddeh77]

@ScottishHades I agree.

It really all depends on the crowed you hang out with,

every single one of my friends smoke. So it is quite tempting. I've already decided by the time im 16 i will be cleeeaaan of nicotine :)

[1982FMJ]

sometimes the health profesionals seem to be giving ot advice like we are going to be alive for ever. Even if you never smoke you still only have the certain life expectancy. im not saying smoking is good though but the some people forget the facts of life for everybody.

[OoAtowno0]

The number one way to quit smoking cigarettes is to NEVER START.

[zimzum08lol]

@rebelrenegade1 stick with the will power, are you still off them.

[nafrazcena]

how do u cure weed..

[007HomeBoy]

@nafrazcena you dont cure it its fine

[harley5595]

have to have a nicotine test to get a job...how long does it take to rid my body of nicotine

[MRasustame1time]

@OGRON47 why ugot caught smoking by ur parents or wat ur going to the doctor.

[MRasustame1time]

@MRasustame1time i meant ive been sober since i was 21

[OGRON47]

@MRasustame1time do you know how to clean lungs from smoking ?

[MRasustame1time]

@OGRON47 youre lunggsg there is no way to clean ur lungs man just drink water and u wont have niccotine in ur system.

[TeachingsofEvil]

in other words, be healthy

[PostCrimsonStorm]

Vape instead! I'm selling for a company that has a starter kit for under 40. and no, i"m not spamming. notice the lack of a link?

[stuartwwillis]

havnt for a week now, i'm in an enclosed environment where I am not allowed to smoke, so that also helps ALOT... oh and not drinking alchahol.

Let the new life begin without those evil death sticks.

[crocfme]

The new fire safe cigarettes did the trick for me. Was'nt going to pay good money for something that tasted like a pig urinated on it!

[ewaf84]

The definition of a junkie is someone who takes in anything harmful to the body.... To tell the truth, I believe it to be a weak minded person to not be able to overcome something they didn't need before they picked the habit up.... Of course they always leave immature remarks trying to sound smart but in the end.. if someone knows something can kill them and they do it anyway that is a form of suicide, so smarts have nothing to do with it.

[rebelrenegade1]

@ewaf84 Ok. Just because a Person smokes a cigarette doesn't make them "weak-minded."

[ewaf84]

@rebelrenegade1 I did not say smoking makes them weak minded I said it is a weak minded person who says they can't overcome something.... It all has to do with willpower. You can keep responding with comments in your defense or a smokers defense, but the fact is I have heard it all before....my mother is a chain smoker and smoked a carton and a pack a day now she stopped cold turkey on a deal with me that it would be less depressing after a month of no nicotine (look up nicotine and depression)

[jessid416]

I have been smoke free since Nov 12, 2009. I used wellbutrin to help me with my goal. However, my question is has anyone lost hair since they quit smoking? I don't know if my hair is going through its regular shedding phase or if its from not smoking and exercising, hence my blood is flowing better causing my old hairs to fall out?

[a3171754]

SMOKING GIVES CANCER ITS BAD FOR YOU!

[RUSSSELLLLL]

i dipped for 20 years, loved it. then my teeth fell out. so my employer paid for new teeth 60K for all caps and a bridge. so after all that i can't dip anymore. i just quit smoking finally. miss it but i used up all my free chances with tobacco. eventually it will catch up and snuff out your health in one way or another.

[zimzum08lol]

just dont smoke, it will be so tempting to have a cigarette if you are not smoking for 5 days your true cravings will be on you like something you really miss, its so hard to not smoke but stay off drink and go for a walk because whatever you think of having a cigarette your mind is telling you oh i will have just one. no don't take one it will get easy on you from the 4th week will power man

[6662sides2die666]

If I go without a cigarette for more than 24 hours i feel like im gonna kill someone..In fact i ask people all the time how they can go without smoking becuase I just dont understand it..im hopelessly addicted, and crave the taste of a Nice Menthol Smoke...:)

[zimzum08lol]

@6662sides2die666 you said a nice smoke which you dont even want to try quit you enjoy smoking ?if you want to quit just keep your mind occupied is all, every smoker feels like killing someone. at least now that im off them i can run without been out of breath, my body feels more healthier that when i smoked i could feel an empty stomach lol

[rastarenegade]

thanks this  has helped me! Im in my second week and boy is it hard this week! but Im not giving in-im giving up!

[zimzum08lol]

@rastarenegade stick with the will power and you will be laughing ? i went through that stage like many others.well done man

[rastarenegade]

Thanks for your comments and support! Im gonna stick it out because if I dont-well we all know what smoking leads to.thanks again!

[forestskog]

@rastarenegade I'm curious are you still not smoking? did you use nicotine supplements?

[zimzum08lol]

when you quit smoking for a couple of months facial features and your energy is unbelievable, easily chat with women but when your a smoker it is hard to get with a woman sorry for those who smoke but its been done by myself, it has to be your will power

[uberari]

yeah that is true, im gonna practice all of this.

[j5sully2012]

@jenn1ifer

everybody loves to put that, i dip once a week, that is not that bad.

[jujmjjujmj]

actually it kind of is bad. You should probably stop, before something actually happens. There was a guy who got mouth cancer starting at his tongue. they had to cut it out, but the cancer kept spreading. Then they cut off his nose, and jaw, but it still kept spreading. So they cut out even more. The guy eventually died. Anyways, dipping is gross. Who wants to hang out with some guy whos always spitting tobacco juice?

[j5sully2012]

@jujmjjujmj

everybody i chill with, why do u think i started. and i dont even dip that much. like 1/4 a can a day

[jujmjjujmj]

still, thats pretty bad for your health. You'll still probably have a 90% chance of cancer.(i looked it up)

[j5sully2012]

(ok) like i said, i dont even dip that much. a lot of times i will quit for a while. like ill quit for a week or 2 then dip for a week or 2. and i still dont dip that much when i do.

[kikaikea]

I think drinking more than u want to is not good

[sOsDidit]

Cold Turkey is much easier than you think , and if you think a lil deeper it's more appealing than a trek spurting out a off white mucus flem from the cancer your gonna try and battle from smoking, God Love Ya, Dan ^^5

[JOHNIM826]

ive quit cold turkey as u say and it has given me a new sense of self esteam

[thegreek14]

my boss made me unload to truck so I would'nt tear off a customers head. It worked out both ways :P

[ArkAngelSlave]

I just quit. Smoked for about 8 years, and decided one day that I didn't want to anymore, only problem I have is the routine of wanting to smoke, I just replaced with with healthy habits like he is suggesting and I haven't craved one yet...well I have but it hasn't been hard, just a few breathes, re-evaluate what the goal is and then put it out of mind. Simple :) You just gotta committ to yourself and decide that you don't want to do it.

[JaDuetschland]

obv you've never smoked and if you did u probably quit fast or jus had a few

[SomeStylistGuy]

Great post! I quit ten years ago using the patch. It REALLY works. I feel, look, and smell better than I have since I was a kid and started it to begin with.

[ItlogNaEgg]

tnx man.. why i cant i stop smoking? i realy want to stop but i cant. After every meal or having drinks, theres only one thing on my mind, smoke after. (sigh)

[amuhammed82393]

this is b/c you have made smoking part of your daily routine. What you need to do is replace your need to smoke with a need to do something else (video games, gum chewing, etc) the trick is to find something you realy want to do and is addicting. but in a good way.

[XGARCIA93MX]

dude just get hooked on sunflower seeds thats what i did lol

[rebelrenegade1]

@XGARCIA93MX Same here bud. Only problem with that I I am a professional seeder. Ya know? The Chipmunk Cheek full of seeds? The salt really shrivels your cheek from so many salty seeds. lmao

[hudspeed]

HURRAH DID IT

cold turkey style so TY MAN

[gillispie689]

dawg there is no way that i am ever going to quit, and this probly dosent even work?

[BiracialGirl1977]

PART2:: I'll just end up lighting up again and the whole working out thing i will want one even more after that that's like after you eat you want one when you wake up you really want one and all that sweating makes me really want one why do you think smokers want to lite up a cigarette right after sex it's the same thing.

[BiracialGirl1977]

PART1:: He doesn't say how to deal with the withdraws and one of the symptoms is depression i already have that problem gosh i don't need to add to it LOL. that's what makes me not want to quit i don't want to go through the symptoms of withdraw that's scary to me.

[DellisHe]

When they put a tube in your throat, that will scare you. I saw a guy some days ago talking with a small microphone attached to his throat because he had a hole in it. Quit now. Before it is too late.

[marshaloveslife]

Thank you!

[hudspeed]

ty man

[1982mf]

simple just stop. ITs the only way

[sarah20xoxo]

true. when i quit i just stopped.

[supermernz]

@1982mf its not as easy as you type "stop".
