How do you stop smoking when you have been told you are dieing from it ??

I have COPD and am on oxygen 24/7 and have been told to stop smokeing, I am down to 6 cigarettes a day, but just can not get down any farther, how the heck do you give them up, have been smoking for 31 years.. I don't want to die !! have 2 great sons, and 1 wonderful granddaughter to live for..and a great husband.. Don't want to die and leave any of them.. Please no stupid answers, I need some serious help here !!

Set a date 4 months into the future and say you will not smoke until then. If you still want to smoke then, take it up again.

After 3 months you will find the craving has vanished. This worked for me. I wasn;t going to spend the rest of my life craving a cigarette. Nicotine patches help some. But the important thing is to not smoke at all while you are giving up. Throw them away now, and if you want, take it up again in 4 months.

My mum died of smoking related causes, and she was still asking people to take her outside for a smoke while she was in palliative care. Don't end up like her, it is not a pleasant way to die, and not pleasant to watch it.

If that isn't enough to cause you to quit

what more can anyone say?

Godspeed?

If you don't gather strength,
you will soon find out.

My thoughts are with you friend.
I would have thought that being told to die would be enough incentive to quit. Speak to your doctor there's something called zyban (something like that) that they can prescribe to stop.
If you have been told that it is terminal and will not get any better, then there is no point in giving up.
If you want to give up, just STOP SMOKING.
On the other hand, smoking while using Oxygen is dangerous. One day you will catch on fire.
that should be enough i recentally quit i just woke and decided to see how far i could make it without one been 3months now.ive gained 10 pound though. sunflowerseeds and alot of snacking. good luck think of your family they will give you strength
Ok, honestly. If you have been told that you are dying from smoking, isn't that enough of a deterrant? Think about your husband, sons and granddaughter. Are you willing to trade your time with them just to light up?

Nobody said quitting was easy, but you need to make yourself do it or you will die. I'm not sure how you can know this and still smoke. Try anything you can, the patch, the gum, therapy, rehab, counseling, hypnotism, anything is worth you saving your own life, isn't it???
Smoking is one of the hardest addictions to kick. This requires a doctor's supervision. Seriously. Either ask your doctor for advice on nicotine gum, patches, or other supplements to aid in smoking cessation, or go on the web. It CAN be done. Believe in yourself. You can stop smoking TODAY. You just have to want it bad enough.
