I don't think he can tell just yet but DON'T SMOKE ANYMORE!!\nI started when I was 14 and I am 33 now and have tried for years ans years to quit. My father is 75 years old and smoked most of his life. He now has emphizema (Spelled that wrong, sorry). It is heart breaking to see him going through this and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. He is on 24 hour oxygen and can hardly walk due to lack of breath from his lungs being so weak. \nYou have only had two so you aren't addicted yet but it doesn't take much to become addicted so just don't do it anymore.

"Within 12 hours after you have your last cigarette, your body will begin to heal itself. The levels of carbon monoxide and nicotine in your system will decline rapidly, and your heart and lungs will begin to repair the damage caused by cigarette smoke.\n\nWithin a few days you will probably begin to notice some remarkable changes in your body. Your sense of smell and taste may improve. You will breathe easier, and your smoker's hack will begin to disappear, although you may notice that you will continue to cough for a while. And you will be free from the mess, smell, inconvenience, expense, and dependence of cigarette smoking."\n\nLots more info on improvement (listed as 20 minutes following quitting to 15 years after quitting) in health at site below.  Hope that helps!

I dont know I am trying myself.  every week on monday I try again to quit.  on tuesday I buy another pack.  It is hard.  I am getting better. though.  just keep trying.  Pick one day of the week where you are not going to smoke, but leave your self one or 2 emergency cigaretts for when someone will die if you cant smoke and try to make it the whole with out touching them.  If you can great if not well try again next week.  It takes practice.

I have never heard of a smoker going 5 days without a cigarette then finally smoking on weekend. You must be binge smoking when weekends finally come. Smoking is still smoking no matter how much you smoke. It's better to quit. I say if you can go 5 days you can go longer without. Maybe you have strong willpower than most.

Not after a month has passed.  Go back to the dentist before it leads to further problems.

Stick it out. Yesterday was my three year anniversary of my last cigarette. The cravings suck, but make yourself stick it out. It's worth it! The cravings won't last more than a few days Good luck!

Good for you for quitting smoking. When I quit before, I had pneumonia and after two weeks I had no desire to smoke until someone insisted I have a cigarette then I was hooked again. Everyone is different as to how long the cravings last but, I think after a week or two the cravings will be less often. Take showers, walks, and exercise to help you through this trying time. Eat fruits too. Try to avoid coffee or the things you associate with smoking. Get a punching bag and put it in your basement or garage when you get the craving go take your frustrations out on the punching bag. There are so many benefits to quitting and no benefits to smoking. Good Luck

I would carry on smoking for a while.  You've done fantastically well to stop drinking and you should be really proud of yourself.  I stopped smoking 2 years ago, I've never relapsed but it is hard, especially for the first few months and if you try to  give up too soon after you stopped drinking you could possibly end up relapsing on both counts.  Unless you have any serious health problems where smoking puts you in immediate danger, I honestly think you should forget about stopping for another year or so. I hope everything works out for you.

I gave myself the biggest gift I could ever give myself. . . \nMy health. . . I quit smoking December 4, 2005 at 8:30 PM under hypnosis. \n\nThe hypnosis instructor told me that if I listened to the hypnosis tape for 21 days, I would be smoke free forever!!! Christmas was my 21 day, I'm cigarrett free. Yeah for me.

follow this simple yet effective regimen: if you smoke about 18 cigs a day now, starting tomorrow keep track and only smoke 17 cigs. do that for a whole week, it isn't even hard. the next week smoke only 16 cigs a day ( don't lose track). the next week smoke 15 cigs a day and so forth. when you get down to five increase the time period to two weeks. after the two weeks you are down to four. then just keep going at the two week pace and you will be smoke free. try it!

Make a bet with a few different people and put the money in a glass jar that you will save every day. Keep gum and or toothpicks to keep your mouth busy and try not to be around any one who smokes for at least the first two weeks. Change your habits, if you have to smoke when you drink, don't drink for a while, and stay away from bars and places where a lot of people smoke. If you always smoke as soon as you wake up, try sometype of light excercise instead. I wish I could tell you it's easy, but we all know that quitting smoking is one of the hardest things to do. I quit seven years ago cold turkey from 2 and1/2 packs a day and have not had one since. I told everyone I knew and no one bellieved me, so I did it to spite them and prove to myself I could. I had tried the patch and gum prior to that, but nothing worked until I really decided I wanted to quit. Be strong and everytime you get the urge, just remember why you're quitting. Congrats on making a life changing decision and I wish you the best of luck.

I quit for almost 2 years now. I used the patch and the pill both! I quit on the 12th of may and my dad died on the 16th, everyone knew I'd start back smoking but that only made me stronger because he always lectured me about it. I am so proud of myself!! I still want one sometimes but I really feel better, gained 30 pounds but I feel better!

Mine lasted about 30 days.  I smoked for 22 years and quit 4 years ago.  The cravings lessened each day over those 30 days but it's really different for everybody.  Good luck and congratulations for quitting.  Stick with it.  It's worth it.

Think about the cute guy your going to meet some day who doesn't smoke and if you do, may not give you a second glance because you smell bad, have yellowed teeth, will get early lines around your mouth and most important will die early of emphysema, lung cancer or a heart attack all of which are more likely for a smoker. Good luck. It's hard but so worth it. Save all that money and treat yourself to something you love.

First i stopped smoking when i went on holiday, so that i was outside of my normal environment which made it a bit easier.  Then i just stopped.  Was hell for the first 7 days, horrible for the next 21 days, not nice for a couple of months, and then got to be normal not smoking. \n\nGood luck
