Re: how do u handle?

I used to smoke heavily and now its been more than a year since I quit.

Nothing compelled me to quit from my fammily... mother was always opposed to the habbit. However she understood perhaps that nothing she or my siblings could say would change things. My elder brother and I had some heated arguements all to no avial.

What really changed my viewpoint was when I realised that it was actually slowing me down... my health was always good but not smoking has helped me recover some of my lost speed and stamina. Perhaps persuading him to try and quit smoking over a short period and notice the difference. I reccomend you try and run the habbit out of him...

Re: how do u handle?

gud to hear that u hv left. It is really very hard to leave it. caz i hv seen many poeple around us who r takng but cant leave it even at age of 60.

well talkng abut bro at age of 16 or 17. as it is going to be habbit to hv it, poeple feel gud , even i hv seen whole family go for seesha. in such circumstances wt would u suggest?

Re: how do u handle?

Some people take sheesha purely for social reasons rather than an addiction. If he is smoking a couple of days a week then perhaps its not that bad. If he is smoking 3 to four packs a day of ciggaretes then he needs to have the addiction run out of him.

In the UK help to prevent smoking is free.

Re: how do u handle?

People usually start as social smokers and then it spirals out of control. They start smoking when they feel stressed and the dependence increases with time, while the smoker reassures himself that he can quit whenever he wants. I've never smoked shisha, because I'm too scared, tried smoking a cigarette 3 years ago, but didn't take, cause I didn't have the friends to support the habit. Btw the cig tasted extremely yucky.

So proud of you SIP. :k: Give yourself a hugz from me. :slight_smile:

Congratulations to you and your parents.

And I agree, cigs taste, smell and feel like cr*p.

Re: how do u handle?

For not smoking. Yeah, I turned out okay. No smoking, sheesha or drugs, life is good.
Thanks mate.

Re: how do u handle?

You are welcome.

Now be a good boy and go to sleep. It is very late.

You should try to sleep by 10:00 pm and wake up by 6:00 am for good health. :)

Re: how do u handle?

That was my routine up until vacations started. Sleeping during the day doesn't help much, but not much to do except sleeping when the power is out.

Re: how do u handle?

Sleep cycle is so out of whack, that I went to sleep at 2200 when the power went out and woke up when it came back on at 0000.

Re: how do u handle?

Power Games. :(

Re: how do u handle?

Yeah.

Re: how do u handle?

Difficult situation. Try option 2 - but don't set ultimatums - else you may lose him or hrr

Re: how do u handle?

Take him to a cancer ward. Have him meet people who've lost a lung from smoking, are dying of cancer, have emphysema or are stuck with breathing tubes because of smoking. See how he responds. It just might scare the crap out of him

Re: how do u handle?

I don't think smokers are necessarily bad company...but I understand why and how someone would feel they would.

Re: how do u handle?

They are when you're in your teens, because that when you're most likely to pick up the habit. Otherwise they might be model citizens.
