i dont have a choice and i dont like it!!! >:(
im 16/f and ive been smoking for about 10 or 11 months. this lady used to supply me to pay me back for letting her dogs out every day. but recently, she hasnt asked me as much. on average, i do it about twice a week now.
but i thought i was ok because my boyfriends family smoked and i could always hit off them when i went over there. well, his brother's (who is 28) back has been hurting, so he cant get a job and he cant drive. his dad is getting pissed because he spends almost 300 dollars a week on cigarettes to supply his family, and its affecting the rent money they use to pay for the house they are renting out. so the whole family has to quit, and now i have to, too.
i dont drive yet, and im unemployed. i know if i just had enough money i could get someone to go to the store and buy me some, but im not made of money, and soon im gonna start driving and i have to help pay for car insurance.
smoking is all im thinking about right now. i dont know what im gonna do. its only been a day and im already an emotional wreck; depressed, pissed off, mood swings, crying, yelling...etc.
can someone tell me how in the world im supposed to last? is there anything i can do that'll make it any easier?

Take it day by day. That's all you can do outside of quit smoking aids.
You are really far better off health wise and financially by doing this now. Obviously smoking is a habit you can't afford.
I don't blame his dad for making everyone quit. Do you realize how much money $1200 per month is? How much that would pay for? That's a payment on a nice house, and it's going up in smoke.
It's hard to quit smoking. I still haven't succeeded. My husband quit. He chewed sunflower seeds to aid with the oral part of stopping. He said the hardest week was the first, but he didn't have the urge for a smoke after 2 weeks.
Try to keep your smoking hand busy. Hold a pencil, bend paperclips; something to keep them busy. Chew gum, sunflower seeds, etc.
Smoking that cigarette isn't only a fix for your body's craving. It's a fix for your mind, your mouth, your hand. They crave it too.
I wish you nothing but the best of luck with quitting. I hope you succeed where I've failed so many times. If you lapse back into smoking, don't give up- keep trying.

There is no exact science to it, but the worst of the withdrawal generally lasts 3-7 days.
If nicotine patches or gum aren't options, just drink lots of water, chew normal gum or suck on lollipops to keep your mouth busy and take a walk or a jog when you get too irritabile.
No matter what tricks you use, in the end you just need to endure it. You're better off this way anyways.
