well, i started when i was 13 so yelling wont be nessesary lol. since you havent been smoking for 10, 20 years, it will be very easy to quit. just cut back day by day or quit cold turkey. dont get the gum or patch cuz its a waste of money. those cigs with the less amount of nicotine )i forgot what they are called) quest i think, get those if you cant seem to cut back or quit. they are around the same price as any other cigarette and they should help you.

Maybe that will help you quit. Just think of all the negative things smoking does to you. Try to keep your mind off of it and get rid of any signs you had of it. If your friends smoke, ask them not to smoke around you. Chew gum when you feel like having a cigarette.

The best thing is to get a patch or even dont buy them but chew gum and i guess my grandpa said the only way he could quit is if he chewed gum or did something to get his mind off of it like helping around the house or try avoiding areas where there is the smoke smell. If you smell it the addiction will come back and make you want to have a smoke.

There are a lot of different ways to stop. Try some of these.
1. chew LOTS of sugarless gum instead of poppin a cigarette.
2. try Nicotine Gum or a Nicotine Patch
I know im 13 but like. i just researched these for you.
^^PLEASE let me know if I helped or not!
**hope it works out**

Yea! You're a smart kid. You started smoking at an early age and you want to quit at an early age! How great. You should be very proud of yourself. Too many people who start so young just keep it up until it is harder than hard! I know this from experience. If you have friends who smoke and they're unwilling to refrain from doing it when you're around, then try to limit your time with them for now. Let as many people know as you can about your wonderful and courageous decision so that you can have as much support as you'll need. Throw away all of your ashtrays, lighters and any other paraphernalia you might have that has to do with smoking. Even now, while you're smoking, tell yourself ALL the time that you are a NON-smoker. If you can get this in your head, it should help you view yourself differently and can help you get stronger and stronger with your decsion. Joining a support group might be very helpful to you, whether it be in person (look in the phonebook, ask your doctor or school counselor, call the American Lung Association for a group near you) or on-line. An interesting site that helps with quitting smoking is [Link](Mouse over link to see full location). There you will find information that is helpful as well as several blogs from folks (adults) who are right now in the process of quitting. I wish you lots of luck. I know you can do it because you've already come to the most intelligent part of it all - YOU WANT TO QUIT SMOKING! Good for you!

Hey
Umm well i already got this question in my inbox today so i hope you don't mind if i just copy and past!
First, congratulate yourself. You have the first step down already. Wanting to quit is all you really need to overpower this addictive drug. Now Quitting isn't easy. It's far from easy, but if you really set your mind to it Im sure you can.
Teens whose friends and family help them quit are much more likely to succeed. If you don't want to tell your parents or family that you smoke, make sure your friends know, and consider confiding in a counselor or other adult you trust. And if you're having a hard time finding people to support you (if, say, all your friends smoke and none of them is interested in quitting), you might consider joining a support group, either in person or online. But whatever you do DON'T GIVE UP! That's the worse thing you can do in this situation.
Good luck

well i dont smoke but my father quit smoking so maybe i can give you some advice. First of all you have to want to quit extremely bad becuz it isnt easy. They make many things for it but my dad told me that the patches you put on dont work. Dont ever have cigarettes with you or around. you cant smoke what you dont have. Im sure that people offer them to you, you need to just say no(easier said then done) Maybe hanging around with a different crowd would help. Being around people who smoke make it twice as hard. Sorry my advice isnt very good on this one but i wish you luck on quitting~!
