Smoking is a practice in which a substance, most commonly tobacco or cannabis, is burned and the smoke is tasted or inhaled. This is primarily practised as a route of administration for recreational drug use, as combustion releases the active substances in drugs such as nicotine and makes them available for absorption through the lungs. It can also be done as a part of rituals, to induce trances and spiritual enlightenment. <-- According to Wikipedia.

Once You Start, It's Hard to Stop
"Smoking is a hard habit to break because tobacco contains nicotine, which is highly addictive. Like heroin or other addictive drugs, the body and mind quickly become so used to the nicotine in cigarettes that a person needs to have it just to feel normal."
i don't smoke.. hehe... napadaan lang.. ;D
ok lang jude. eheh, this thread ay para sa mga smoker at hindi, sa mga gusto mag quit at gusto magbigay ng mga tips :D
How Can I Quit Smoking?
The Difficulty in Kicking the Habit
Smokers may have started smoking because their friends did or because it seemed cool. But they keep on smoking because they became addicted to nicotine, one of the chemicals in cigarettes and smokeless tobacco.
Nicotine is both a stimulant and a depressant. That means it increases the heart rate at first and makes people feel more alert (like caffeine, another stimulant). Then it causes depression and fatigue. The depression and fatigue — and the drug withdrawal from nicotine — make people crave another cigarette to perk up again. According to many experts, the nicotine in tobacco is as addictive as cocaine or heroin.
But don't be discouraged; millions of Americans have permanently quit smoking. These strategies can help you quit, too:
Put it in writing. People who want to make a change often are more successful when they put it in writing. So write down all the reasons why you want to quit smoking, such as the money you will save or the stamina you'll gain for playing sports. Keep that list where you can see it, and add to it as you think of new reasons.
Get support. People whose friends and family help them quit are much more likely to succeed. If you don't want to tell your parents or family that you smoke, make sure your friends know, and consider confiding in a counselor or other adult you trust. And if you're having a hard time finding people to support you (if, say, all your friends smoke and none of them is interested in quitting), you might consider joining a support group, either in person or online.
Set a quit date. Pick a day that you'll stop smoking. Tell your friends (and your family, if they know you smoke) that you're going to quit smoking on that day. Just think of that day as a dividing line between the smoking you and the new and improved nonsmoker you'll become. Mark it on your calendar.
Throw away your cigarettes — all of your cigarettes. People can't stop smoking with cigarettes still around to tempt them. Even toss out that emergency pack you have stashed in the secret pocket of your backpack. Get rid of your ashtrays and lighters, too.
Wash all your clothes. Get rid of the smell of cigarettes as much as you can by washing all your clothes and having your coats or sweaters dry-cleaned. If you smoked in your car, clean that out, too.
Think about your triggers. You're probably aware of the situations when you tend to smoke, such as after meals, when you're at your best friend's house, while drinking coffee, or as you're driving. These situations are your triggers for smoking — it feels automatic to have a cigarette when you're in them. Once you've figured out your triggers, try these tips:
Avoid these situations. For example, if you smoke when you drive, get a ride to school, walk, or take the bus for a few weeks. If you normally smoke after meals, make it a point to do something else after you eat, like read or call a friend.
Change the place. If you and your friends usually smoke in restaurants or get takeout and eat in the car, suggest that you sit in the no-smoking section the next time you go out to eat.
Substitute something else for cigarettes. It can be hard to get used to not holding something and having something in your mouth. If you have this problem, stock up on carrot sticks, sugar-free gum, mints, toothpicks, or even lollipops.
Expect some physical symptoms. If you smoke regularly, you're probably physically addicted to nicotine and your body may experience some symptoms of withdrawal when you quit. These may include:
headaches or stomachaches
crabbiness, jumpiness, or depression
lack of energy
dry mouth or sore throat
desire to pig out
Luckily, the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal will pass — so be patient. Try not to give in and sneak a smoke because you'll just have to deal with the symptoms longer.
Keep yourself busy. Many people find it's best to quit on a Monday, when they have school or work to keep them busy. The more distracted you are, the less likely you'll be to crave cigarettes. Staying active is also a good way to make sure you keep your weight down and your energy up, even as you're experiencing the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.
Quit gradually. Some people find that gradually decreasing the number of cigarettes they smoke each day is an effective way to quit. However, this strategy doesn't work for everyone — you may find you have to stop completely at once. This is known as "cold turkey."
Use a nicotine replacement if you need to. If you find that none of these strategies is working, you might talk to your doctor about treatments. Using a nicotine replacement, such as gum, patches, inhalers, or nasal sprays, can be very helpful. Sprays and inhalers are available by prescription only, and it's important to see your doctor before buying the patch and gum over the counter. That way, your doctor can help you find the solution that will work best for you. For example, the patch requires the least effort on your part, but it doesn't offer the almost instantaneous nicotine kick that gum does.
If you slip up, don't give up! Major changes sometimes have false starts. If you're like many people, you may quit successfully for weeks or even months and then suddenly have a craving that's so strong you feel like you have to give in. Or maybe you accidentally find yourself in one of your trigger situations and give in to temptation.
If you slip up, it doesn't mean you've failed, it just means you're human. Here are some ways to get back on track:
Think about your slip as one mistake. Take notice of when and why it happened and move on.
Did you become a heavy smoker after one cigarette? We didn't think so — it happened more gradually, over time. Keep in mind that one cigarette didn't make you a smoker to start with, so smoking one cigarette (or even two or three) after you've quit doesn't make you a smoker again.
Remind yourself why you've quit and how well you've done — or have someone in your support group, family, or friends do this for you.
Reward yourself. As you already know, quitting smoking isn't easy. Give yourself a well-deserved reward! Set aside the money you usually spend on cigarettes. When you've stayed tobacco free for a week, 2 weeks, or a month, buy yourself a treat like a new CD, book, movie, or some clothes. And every smoke-free year, celebrate again. You earned it.

some cause of smoking
Bad skin. Because smoking restricts blood vessels, it can prevent oxygen and nutrients from getting to the skin — which is why smokers often appear pale and unhealthy. Studies have also linked smoking to an increased risk of getting a type of skin rash called psoriasis.
Bad breath. Cigarettes leave smokers with a condition called halitosis, or persistent bad breath.
Bad-smelling clothes and hair. The smell of stale smoke tends to linger — not just on people's clothing, but on their hair, furniture, and cars. And it's often hard to get the smell of smoke out.
Reduced athletic performance. People who smoke usually can't compete with nonsmoking peers because the physical effects of smoking (like rapid heartbeat, decreased circulation, and shortness of breath) impair sports performance.
Greater risk of injury and slower healing time. Smoking affects the body's ability to produce collagen, so common sports injuries, such as damage to tendons and ligaments, will heal more slowly in smokers than nonsmokers.
Increased risk of illness. Studies show that smokers get more colds, flu, bronchitis, and pneumonia than nonsmokers. And people with certain health conditions, like asthma, become more sick if they smoke (and often if they're just around people who smoke). Because teens who smoke as a way to manage weight often light up instead of eating, their bodies also lack the nutrients they need to grow, develop, and fight off illness properly.

Probably the worst condition i've seen related to smoking is COPD = emphysema + chronic bronchitis. A 63 year old patient with a 80 year smoking pack history (2 packs/day for the last 40 years).
He's extremely thin, bed ridden and has trouble breathing even with a ventilator.
He can't sleep properly because he feels like drowning in air.
So sad, he wants to die but his body won't let him
how about mercy killing? allowed ba yun?

The difference between substance abuse and addiction is very slight. Substance abuse means using an illegal substance or using a legal substance in the wrong way. Addiction begins as abuse, or using a substance like marijuana or cocaine.
You can abuse a drug (or alcohol) without having an addiction. For example, just because Sara smoked pot a few times doesn't mean that she has an addiction, but it does mean that she's abusing a drug — and that could lead to an addiction.

Nope. It is unethical and a crime.
Kahit tanggalin mo yung ventilator, the body will attempt to breath because its a natural instinct.
but it will be horrible like a fish taken out of the pond only the person won't die.
Thanks, kala ko kasi, allowable yung mga mercy killing sa mga ganung situation, as long na meron contract. Like na meron inject sa patient para mawala na lang yung paghinga nya, na walang pain.

If I still remember psychiatry...
Substance Addiction is when a person's body is physically dependent on the drug that side effects will be felt when drug is withdrawn. Therefore the person will attempt to obtain the drug in order to achieve stabilization.
for example kilo, addicted sa smoke, then nasa withdrawal stage na siya,malaki ba ang possible na mas magkasakit siya? and if ever nakasurvive siya na magstop na magsmoke in 10 years above, possible din ba na mabalik yung healthy lungs?

Usually yung withdrawal symptoms parang nagkakakasakit yung tao.
Headache, nausea, vomiting, irritability, trembling, anxiety, etc... so feeling ng mga tumigil mas lalo sila nagkakasakit pero talagang nasa withdrawal sila.
Sabi daw once you stop smoking for 5 years, the cancer risk of that person who stopped is the same as a person who never smoked at all. Pero definitely yung damage sa lungs is permanent at cannot be the same as those who haven't smoked. Permanent in a sense na yung lung function (FEV1 or Maximum amount of air exhaled in the first second) ay mas mababa compared to nonsmoker which means magiging hingalin sila sa mga exercises.
for real? hindi na mawawala yung mga nicotine na kumapit sa lungs?
so, wala ng ibang way para mabawasan ng kahit konti yung peklat or scar na gawa ng smokes?
makakatulong ang exercise habang nasa withdrwal stage?
by the way, thanks sa infomation, sobrang helpful :)
kung sakin, maybe, wala pa (I hope) pero nasa stage ako ng withdrawal, nagstop ako at bumalik. pero hoping na tuluyan ng mawala. Exercise ang ginagawa ko ngayon, jogging/running.
thanks again kilo.
Mental, emotional, physical, social and spiritual talaga ang kailangan..
yung will :D
sa mga gusto magquit magsmoke.. try nyo :D

Ganun din minsan yung yosi ng lola ko eh. May taniman kasi sila ng tabacco tapos yung dried na leaves tinutupi niya tapos yun na yung yosi niya. All day long may nakatapal sa bibig na yosi.

may kilala nga ako. nagkasakit na daughter nya, na ospital pa, malubha pero gumaling naman, dahil lang sa 2nd-hand smoking galing sa tatay. hinarap na siya ng mga doctor tungkol dito. nagawa nman niyang magquit sa 30 years of smoking, right then, and there.
tugon nya, "ok lang ako magkasakit, natatanggap ko mga epekto ng paninigarilyo, di ko lang inasahan ma-una pa ang mga taong mahal ko"
willpower lang talaga yan. quit before it's too late. wag ka magpatalo sa nicotine (addictive substance ng cigarette)

nung highschool pa ito. napansin ko kasi hindi na ako makatakbo sa basketball tapos kapag PE namin, pumapalpak ako sa physical fitness test. so tinigil ko na. biglang above average na yung mga nagagawa ko nung sumunod na sem. sandali lang naman ako nag-yosi. mga 3 months. pero malakas yun almost ubos ang isang pack sa isang day. literal na chain smoker kasi everytime takas mag smoke, 2 stick kagad.
mukhang kailangan ko na din itigil yosi
per day kasi 3/4 pcs ako
e nag start n ulit ako mag gym. kaya pala minsan may time n parang mejo malakas ako kasi dat time natigil ako 1 week sa pag yoyosi
too bad di ko naituloy tuloy
ang bagong pang convince sa mga nagyoyosi, papanget ka. simple lang naman yun.

haha, ginamit ko ito sa tatay ko ... no reaction, eh. ???
^kaya pala panget ako.
lalake kasi. usually sa mga babae at sa mga vain na tao. hahaha
pero sa totoo lang, vanity rules na talaga nowadays. so instead na mamatay ng maaga, vanity mo tirahin. after 2 years of smoking, wrinkles start to appear.

"THE FEELING IS MUTUAL"
hahahahahaha............... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
im really against smoking....walang buting idudulot sa health
ok. ang hirap gawin nito. pero after 9 years, babawasan ko na yosi ko. di pala. quit na ko. ay bawas na lang. sige na nga , quit na. hay ang hirap. di pa ko nagsstart nahihirapan na ko. wish me luck.
incognito. palitan mo ng iba yung yosi mo. sampaloc mas maganda, unti untiin mo lang
padaan. di rin ako nagyoyosi. sinubukan ko dati pero di masarap e. Hehe!
di pa ko nagssmoke today. pero parang gusto ko na.
YES, starting June 27, no more smoking in Starbucks!
my brother stopped smoking na din pala. may iniinom syang gamot pangontra daw sa pagcrave ng nicotine. tapos may nicotine patch sya. the 1st week na nagstop sya,he got sick.
^kap, kaya mo yan!
pero wag lang biglaan. unti-unti mo lng bawasan ang sticks/day mo hanggang wala na. dyan nagkakasakit ang tao sa biglaan, eh.
@kilo: may question ako, bakit yung mga matatanda, kahit sobrang tanda na at nagssmoke, malakas pa din?
after ilan months sa pagstop mag smoke. may chance ba na bumalik yung kulay ng lips?
nagmahal na rin ang yosi ngayon!
72 hours no cigarette effect:
Your entire body will test 100% nicotine-free and over 90% of all nicotine metabolites (the chemicals it breaks down into) will now have passed from your body via your urine. Symptoms of chemical withdrawal have peaked in intensity, including restlessness. The number of cue induced crave episodes experienced during any quitting day will peak for the "average" ex-user. Lung bronchial tubes leading to air sacs (alveoli) are beginning to relax in recovering smokers. Breathing is becoming easier and the lungs functional abilities are starting to increase.

A smoker was smoking at the airport.
A gentleman came and asked him:
"How much do you smoke a day?"
Smoker: Why?
Gentleman: If you had collected the money
instead of smoking, the plane which is
in front of you, would have been yours.
Smoker: Do you smoke?
Gentleman: No!
Smoker: Is that plane yours?
Gentleman: No!
Smoker: Thanks for your advice,
but the plane is mine.
LESSON: Don't talk to strangers.
