    I know it sounds odd. But its strue. Stopping smoking can end someones life.

    This post is for chain smokers who finishes 1 pack of cigarette per day. Or more.

    If you stop your smoking in an instant. You will die. In 6 months time. Stopping might cause your lungs to get watery and evenrually get sick. Smoking keeps your lungs dry. I know several people who died because of this.

    For those who still has a chance of surviving. Please stop smoking because in the end if you want to. You cant stop at all.

    Hi Trish23,
    I found your post alarmimg . You seem to be suggesting that smokers over a certain age and/or over a certain number of cigarettes per day would be better off continuing to smoke. This in in fact not true. The benefits for anyone who quits start just 20 minutes after their last cigarette, and they only continue exponexponentially from there. Let's encourage those who are trying to do better.

    Smokers are liable to die youth,smoking causes cancer of the lung,it is better to stop smoking than becoming addicted to it.I have also seen people who stop smoking earlier and they are living a good healthy life.

    Hello to everyone. I guess their is two sides to the story, and I would have to somewhat agree with you Trish23, because some addictions, if stopped overnight can cause more problems than is solves.

    I think it really depends on who you are and how serious your addiction is. I know with alcohol, that if some drinkers stop immediately they can have a heart attack and this is well researched.

    I am not saying by any means people must carry on with their addictions but I think weening off, is the best solution. What do you guys think is the most appropriate way of dealing with this problem, weening off or stopping straight away?

    Well I don't know why you would say a thing like that but you seem quite like a chain smoker from the way you sound. Well in my own point of view, I really don't think there is anything good about smoking in the first place, maybe there is but am certain that it does more harm than good because most of the smokers that I know always have most or all of these habits:
    1. Hot tempered
    2. Mouth odour
    3. Unpleasant Voices
    Please don't get offended if you are a smoker here, I believe I was meant to give my views.
    So to round up the arguments, I strongly believe quitting smoking is a good idea.

    I agree with you Trish23. All addictions once stopped can cause withdrawal symptoms. Some can be very fatal. However, we should not encourage them to continue smoking. I think the best way would be to reduce their smoking periodically to a point where they have really stopped smoking.

    In rehabilitation centres someone who is being helped to stop an addiction cannot be denied the drug or the substance instantly. It is always done gradually and the person continually use the drug in small quantities. They have a reason why they do this and the reason am sure is so important.
