I am 13 and I want to stop smoking

You should chew gum when you want to smoke. You can get nicotine tablets from a chemist’s shop.If it doesn’t work you should talk to psychotherapist.

- no your friends are wrong it isn’t cool.
- they are not good friends if they think something that will damage your health is good
-there are many sites which you can visit to help you
- nicotine gum to help you
- you can search these things in google.
- if you have a shared computer and your mum questions what you have been searching say it is for a project

if you don’t want to confide in anybody that you are smoking, ask someone close ( not your friends ) advice saying maybe one of my friends wants to stop smoking but i don’t know how to help him/her .

x hope this helps you ..

talk to an adult and see if you can get some help, you need to change so you can be a better enfluence on your friends, and just don’t get more cigertetts. chew sugar free gum keep busy learn music like the harmonica it keeps your hands and mouth moving and you oucciped

my name is hollie and im 13 and i smoke i really do need help cos all my friends are falling out with me ino that they are just looking out for me but its not my fault that i smoke ??1 please help
?

im 14 and i smoke
i know how hard it is speak to your family they won’t shout

smoking is not cool, its disgusting. and if your friends think it’s cool there is something wrong. your mates should be telling you to stop and help you through it not encourage you.

of course you’ll be addicted to it it has nicotine in it. my advice to you would be bin the fags you have just now and your lighter and whatever else you have thats to do with smoking. then i’d make new friends preferebly ones who don’t smoke, if they smoke then you will want to start again or you might be pressurised into it.

sort yourself out, would you like your 12 year old kid to smoke no you wouldn’t, so don’t dissapoint your parents don’t hang in the crowd that smokes have a change in everything looks personality and all that and see if people will accept you into their group

all the best xxxx

Hey, Smoking kills. Everyone knows that. Just remember it everytime you get one out. Think in your mind. Wait, smoking kills, and i dont want to die young. Chew gum or suck a lolly pop stick pretend that it is a ciggarett. Contact me. Im 14 and i can help you. I belive you can do this x.

Congratulations!
Being able to see that something is a problem is the first, and sometimes the hardest step.
Quitting smoking isn’t easy, nicotine (contained in ciggarettes) is a drug, this makes smoking very addictive.
The good news is that there is plenty of help out there. It is very important to be able to talk to people for support, however if you do not have anyone that you feel that you can talk to about this, you could try using a telephone service like childline who you can talk to about any problems you have on your mind (0800 1111) or quitline (0800 00 22 00) who are specifically there to help people quit smoking.
The internet is also a great place to find information, have a look at some websites like;

The health effects of smoking in your future could be deadly, but that aside smoking has immediate effects for you too, it causes; bad skin, bad breath,bad smelling clothes and hair, reduced athletic performance, greater risk of injury and slower healing time as well as an increased risk of illness.
Be strong, know what you want, try to resist peer pressure (as hard as that might be) and don’t be affraid to ask for help.
You CAN do it!

Heyy
Dont worry im not going to have a go at you one of my best friends smokes loads every day and she comes to school and stinks every day remember the causes of smoking your teeth turn yellow and trust me no boy would want to kiss a girl with minging teeth and your breath will start stinking and once again which boy would want to kiss a girl with bad breath and you will start getting some really really bad spots and im 14 and trust at our age spots is the last thing we want right? them pictures on the front of the packet are true that is what happens to you smoking is really bad not cool what your friends are doing is called peer preesure and just because they do it doesnt meen you have to right? and if you do quit and they hold it against you then im sorry but they are not real friends bbz xx try getting addicted to something else like bitting your nails or licking your lips well anything is better then smoking or try nicotine gum you could even talk to a science teacher about it say a friend though x they will know better then anyone good luck bbz. x

Hey, I arnt going to have a go at you, saying STOP SMOKING NOW. It’s illegal, lol sorry about that.
But I want to try and help you to stop. Right if you have a boyfriend, or are currently looking for one. Do you think he would like you back if you have [signs from smoking] yellow teeth, bad breathe, you and your clothes stink of smoke, will he want to kiss you? brown fingernails, nicotine on your hands (stains you know). Etc Etc.
Now i dont want to scare you but each cig takes (i forgot what it was) off your life, people who smoke live to a younger age than the rest who dont. Now try and stop, it doesnt matter what your friends think, there still going to be your friend even if you stop. Go talk to someone, if you are hiding this secret from your mum and dad, then I would adivice talk to them and maybe they can help you out, or if you feel scared talk to a close family relative, someone the same age as you or someone you trust lots? They will give you great advice, or talk to a doctor, go on some childrens tip websites like this one your on now and get even more advice off it. I arnt going to really tell you, but I’ve had, well an experience off smoking before. Some of my friends and family do too, but just cos they do, why should i? That wasnt the reason why i started in the first place, i just wanted to try. You no in life, their comes a time where you try something one time. Oh by the way, get some nicotine patches and theres these cigs and theres no nicotine in them or these plastic things you put in your mouth, its like a cig but its not. Its really clever, try them, and maybe stay away from your mates who smoke for a bit so you dont get tempted. And talk to them about it, and make an agreement that they wont smoke in front of you or mention anything to do with smoking.
Hope this helps
