I too have been a long-term smoker...I have tried several times and have been unable to quit....I started smoking at 12 and am now 30...I smoke more now then ever before, and I am starting to feel the effects....I tried patches, herbals and cold turkey....

The best thing I tried was Chantix...it's a prescription that you get from your doctor....It works by blocking nicotine from the nicotine receptors in the brain....you continue to smoke the first week while taking the medicine....after a week, you will notice the cravings have stopped quite a bit and you stop smoking, but continue to take the medicine....you can find out more about it by looking up chantix in the google search engine or whatever engine you use.  The reason I couldn't stop smoking was I didn't have medical insurance and the cost is pretty high for the medicine.  I just couldn't afford to refill the medicine the second time....but at your age your family should still have insurance for you and you just go see the doctor...tell you mom you don't feel good the doctor keeps it confidential and go the pharmacy for it....you should only have a copay.  at your age it will be easier to quit the sooner you try....the longer you smoke the more hard the habit will be to break...even if you have to tell your mom or dad....they will be quite happy you are willing to stop and i'm sure they will have no prob getting the chantix for you....Good luck and stop smoking, I sure wish I stopped at your age.

There is only one natural way!!!!! You have to want to stop smoking, if you really do, then you have to be strong, and if your planning on quiting you need the will power, If you both want to quit, then you have to do it together, you cant quit if he is still smokin!!! It's hard, but it's mostly mental!!! I was addicted to Pain meds, try comin off those!!! The worst feeling in the world! Very high dosages, its like heroin!! ITS HARSH and you could die!! The only things physical with cigs, is the Irritation, you will probably be bitchy lol, cravings <---- but those are also mental!! You can over come cravings by trying to forget about it, change the subject, in other words, When you want that cig, do something else right away, think about something else you like, try to do it fast to take your mind off of it. You haven't been smoking that long, you can do it, There are plenty of other ways tto relieve stress!!!!! Try doing some research, on stress relief. Every cig you smoke is taking time from your life, making it shorter, Try not to hang round w mom  when she is smokin, does she know??????????????
