Before you start having heart arrhythmias, please stop the smoking! If you’re taking the pills, the patch, and still smoking, then you’re making the situation worse.

The pills are to help diminish your desire to smoke, but they only work if you actually are prepared to not smoke anymore. Since you’re still smoking, the pills are useless: they help diminish your psychological addiction.

The patch helps to diminish your physical dependence on nicotine.

By continuing to smoke, you’re obliterating the use of both modalities; you’re not ready to stop.   I strongly suggest talking to your doctor before continuing this course of treatment!

Insomnia (19%), abnormal dreams (9% to 13%), sleep disorder (2%), and nightmare (2%).  Also included are anxiety, depression, emotional disorder, irritability, restlessness, aggression, agitation, disorientation, dissociation, decreased libido, mood swings, abnormal thinking, bradyphrenia, euphoric mood, hallucination, psychotic disorder, suicidal ideation, and erratic behavior. Depressed mood, agitation, changes in behavior, and suicide have been reported during postmarketing experience.

The worst side effects are generally observed in people that already have some form of mental disturbance in their medical history.

To reduce the craving while discontinuing its use, try Tabacum 30, 4 hourly

If you’re still addicted to tobacco but cannot bear the odor of it, try:  Lobelia In Q(Mother Tincture) 4 hourly, 5 -10 drops

If you have a great desire to smoke but are developing symptoms such as asthma, try  Caladium S 30, 4 hourly

To produce disgust in tobacco for habitual tobacco chewers, try Plantago Major 30, 4 hourly

Take the remedy which is similar to your symptoms.  You’ll experience no side effects or complications if taken as directed, but they really advice against exceeding the given dosage and under any circumstances.  Also, do not try to mix any remedies with each other or Chocolates, Mints, Coffee, Red Meat, Alcoholic and Carbonated drinks,  or Spicy, Rich Foods.  Also, keep any Homeopathic medicines away from direct sunlight or heat.

If I get back on birth control in July will it have any effect on me?

I’m glad to hear that you quit smoking!  Now, DON’T START AGAIN!  Cigarettes do effect your health, with or without birth control.  Taking them in conjunction increases your risk of having a stroke, but smoking alone increases your risk of cancer and heart disease, among many other things.  I hope you can kick off the start of your young life properly.  Good luck!

So the method you choose to quit really depends on your personal style.  Your personal physician could probably tell you what would work best for you.  Also, remember to avoid other smokers, and even try the patch or a stop smoking pill if you feel you need extra motivation.

• Vaporizer: heats to 410 °F (210 °C) or less, compared with 1,500 °F (820 °C) in the tip of a cigarette when drawn upon; eliminates carbon monoxide and other combustion toxins.
• Electronic cigarette: Shaped like a cigar or cigarette, this device contains a rechargeable battery and a heating element that vaporizes liquid nicotine (and other flavorings) from an insertable cartridge, at lower initial cost than a vaporizer but with the same advantages including significantly reducing tar and carbon monoxide. However, in September 2008, the World Health Organization issued a release proclaiming that it does not consider the electronic cigarette to be a legitimate smoking cessation aid, stating that to its knowledge, “no rigorous, peer-reviewed studies have been conducted showing that the electronic cigarette is a safe and effective nicotine replacement therapy.”
• Smokeless tobacco: There is little smoking in Sweden, which is reflected in the low cancer rates for Swedish men. It is claimed that Swedish men are more likely to use snus (a form of steam-cured, rather than heat-cured, smokeless tobacco) than to smoke.  There is a scientific debate over claims that spit tobacco might reduce the exposure of smokers to carcinogens or the risk for cancer (and even be used as a way to stop smoking). Some oral and spit tobaccos increase the risk for leukoplakia a precursor to oral cancer.
• Smoking herb substitutions (non-tobacco).
