16 Year Old, Determined to Quit.

Ive been smoking since I was thirteen now, and I am honestly sick of the consistent coughing and lack of energy and stamina. My girlfriend is sick of it, and I'm tired of having to run to my local ATM every day to finance this habit. I'm currently on a pack a day, and I hope to quit this Friday, at the end of my Exams.

Hi Anthony, great choice, and you have a few days remaining to mentally prepare yourself, keep reading & learning about smoking it helps a great deal.

Let us know how you get on!

Congratulations on your wise decision.

I presume you also have a part time job and that is how you have been funding your habit? Just think what better use that money can now be put to.

Good luck!

Great decision Anthony,

What Dale says about preparation is usually at the heart of a successful quit. That and keeping on educating yourself. After only 3 years of smoking you should have a slightly less bumpier ride than us 30+ year smokers...but hey it's all relative.

A pack a day at £42/week must be difficult to finance at your age. Good that you're taking that level of stress off your shoulders.

OMT has some useful hyperlinks that should inform you of the processes you are about to go through.

Good luck with both the quit and your exams.

C :)

Welcome anthony

Great decision you have made, unlike many of us you being so tender in years you will be able to turn the biological clock back to that of a non smoker.

I'm not saying it's easy - but the rewards for you will be priceless

Go for it!

love

First Day.

I had my last cigarette today, and finished my examinations. I'm going to keep productive, as I know the first three cigarettes are the hardest, so I'm going to the gym, and going to book the tickets to Thailand for me and my girlfriend.

I don't really feel that bad, so helpfully this feeling will keep up for the remainder of this three day period.

Thanks for all of your words of support! :D

Hi

Hi Anthony and welcome, good luck with your quit, hope your exams went well my 16yr old has just finished his so I know what the pressure is like, wise choise to wait until your exams have finished before your quit you need to be totally focussed on them first. One step at a time, that's how I did it and drank loads of water, I had been a smoker for 35 years imagine what my lungs must be like ? wish I had packed in at your age.

Hey, does she now belong to another stop smoking site or do you just have the knack of pissing people off so much they rain curses down on your head?
