Hi I’m Nicole, I’ve been trying to quit due to my health problems and seeing my family suffer from smoking it’s had a impact on my life.
From seeing my family go through different health issues an losing family over the smoking I want to make a differents.
I’ve only just joined icanquit so if anyone could help myself an maybe I could help you to. since I’m only 21 I’ve been smoking since I was 13 my family didn’t no until I was 16/17 an within that period of time it only started having an affect on me.

Hello Nicole, have you tried Allen Carr’s Easy way to stop smoking’ book? It helped me for a month but was not too strong headed to not pick again... I too am struggling to quit. Have left for weeks and months, and then it comes back again :(

Hi Nicole,
It’s difficult to quit cold turkey. Try using patched or something similar. However, no matter what method you choose you need to mentally ready to give up. Nope - not one puff ever, or you’ll be right back wher you started. Good luck.
