First of all, get well soon. This is a difficult situation, people can become addicted when they want to try it out of curiosity, but it is not that difficult to overcome this addiction. First, share this situation with your family, I am sure they will understand you. After that, you can overcome this situation by applying to an institution or by being patient. Finally, I suggest you choose your environment carefully. I hope you will give up this habit.

Don't think of yourself as addicted to cigarettes. Addiction is not something that is easily acquired, it takes years for it to develop, so you should not constantly think about cigarettes and find something else to obsess about. Maybe other activities and healthy habits might be right for you. I hope I helped

You should choose your circle of friends carefully. You should stay away from friends who will lead you in a bad direction, and hang out with people who can change you for the better. If you become addicted to smoking, you can consult a psychologist or authorized persons. I think you can overcome these problems. Take care of yourself

First of all, I can understand your problem, there are too many people like you. This habit is very harmful to both your health and the health of those around you. I believe you can succeed if you try to quit this habit. Wanting is half the win. Please don't blame yourself and believe in yourself

If this continues, you may become addicted, but since you're just starting out, you can overcome this. Addiction is not easily acquired, so don't feel addicted. You can find new activities for yourself and relieve your tiredness. This will be good for you.

You shouldn't let your friends affect your health. Your health is definitely more important than them. You can change your friend group and get support from an expert on this matter.

First of all, I suggest you keep your distance from your friends or solve this situation by talking to them. If you don't want to stay away from them, you can try to control yourself or apply to institutions. There are many people who were like you before and then quit this habit. If they can do it, you can too, I trust you.

First of all, alcohol is a really bad habit. For this reason, I think you should keep some distance from your friends who influence you. Remember, no matter how much you love them, they are not more important than your health. First, you should research the harms of alcohol and try to get help from associations to quit. I hope I was able to help.

I can understand you, it must be a difficult situation. First of all, you should not hang out with that group of friends because they are people who can lead you to bad things. And you shouldn't drink just to join a group of friends, it would be a huge loss to you. You should find yourself good friends. If you cannot quit, I recommend you to apply to a psychologist or the necessary institutions as necessary. I believe you can overcome this. take care of yourself.

First of all, if you are uncomfortable, you should not do this, you should not be a slave to people. You should find a more suitable environment for yourself. You can try to control yourself or apply to institutions to get rid of your addiction. There are many people who were like you before and then stopped this habit. If they can do it, so can you, I trust you.

It's an uncomfortable situation, I feel sorry for you, but it's not something you can't handle. Once upon a time, he moved away from his friends' group and found someone better for himself. They wanted to ensure that people did not harm themselves just because they did not have to. And you should stop drinking. If you can find a solution to this problem, I suggest you go to a psychologist. But you can handle it, we trust you. Take care of yourself

I think the first thing you need to do this is to get toxic People out of your life but I would also say that loneliness can be a quality in this times.I am a person who prefers to be alone than to be the wrong people and drinking alcohol is really harmful for your health

Friends are not always a good thing. I wish you had listened to your logic on this matter instead of listening to your friends. But we can't turn back the time, I think you should stay away from your friends and turn to the people who upset you. Remember that they are not real friends and no one can be more important than your health

I listened to your problem and I feel sorry for you. You should think best about your health. You should stop smoking and change your friends. They're not your real friends. You can get help from an expert to quit smoking.

First of all I am really sorry about your friend.I think you can recommend her to go family therapist.I know it is a hearsay information but you can recommend your friend to eat lollipop.I am sure everything will be Okay if you believe

First of all, friends are a big factor in starting to smoke. That's why we should be careful about our friends and avoid smoking as much as possible. I think someone who wants to quit smoking should apply to places and people who will help him/her. The most important thing is to believe in yourself because believing is half the success.

Firstly I want to say that I'm so sorry because of the problem that you living. I think you should try to talk your family and get an help from a doctor to quit these addiction. I am believing you, If you want to quit these problem you can do it

I wish you hadn't listened to your friends. Smoking is something that harms individuals both financially and spiritually. But it's never too late for anything. Understanding our mistakes is the first step to correcting them. So, it's not too late to quit smoking and continue your life in a healthy way! I hope you can achieve that.

Lots of love <3

I feel deeply sorry to hear that. In my opinion, you should just cut your friendship with them if they have no good to you. If you feel uncomfortable while doing it you shouldn't do it. You don't have to risk your health just because you don't want to feel like an outcast. I think, if they were true friends, they would accept you as you are. Also, I know that finding new friends is difficult but i think you can try to join new friend groups where you can feel more comfortable. Thats it, I hope it helps.

Just cut your friendship with him. You own life is worthier then your friend's, or maybe you can just stay friends with him but with a distance. If he insists on drinking and encourages you to drinking you can tell that problem to someone you trust. Hope this helps.

You're aware that smoking habit is really bad in every way. I understand that it is a challenging situation to quit smoking but we all know you can. So, what im suggesting to you is calling a smoking cessation hotline and telling your problem, they will take care of it. Hope this helps.

I'm really sorry about your problem. I think you should keep away these kind of friends. Because they will affect you in a bad way. So I hope you'll feel better.

First of all, I'm very sorry that you have such an addiction. As you know, alcohol has multiple harms. In addition, having such an addiction at a young age will make it very difficult for you in the future. I hope you can get rid of this addiction in a short time.

Stay strong.

Firstly, please get well soon. It's admirable that you're aware of the situation and seeking advice to find a solution. I think this is a great first step towards overcoming it. I suggest opening up to your parents; they understand what influences us negatively and will take action of it. Additionally, consider changing your environment, our friends can sometimes have a negative impact on us. Stay determined and focus on what you can experience if you continue down this path. I hope this message helps you.

Don’t let your friends affect your health.Your health is more important than everything. Because of this I suggest you to change your friends.When you start to drink an alcohol, you can become addicted to it.  If you don’t want to stay away from your friends you can try to control yourself to not to drink. But consider that it may be hard. Or you can tell them to quit this habit. Hope this helps.

It's a difficult situation you're going through. Unfortunately, our friends and school environment can sometimes push us into such bad situations. My advice to you is to first inform your family about the situation, no matter how angry they may be. because they always want the best for you. and starting a doctor-supported treatment. so you can get through this. I hope I helped you.

Sincerely, Gamze.

First of all, I'm sorry about your situation. Unfortunately, the wrong circle of friends may not be good at such matters. My advice to you is to get support, there are many people like you who have overcome this. I believe you.

Sincerely, Gamze

It’s so sad to hear that your friend chose to start smoking. Of course it’s not easy to make her stop easily. But she may get used to not use it slowly with your help. You can talk to her about it without being offensive, also while trying to understand her family problems. I hope it helps.

First of all, I am sorry that all of these are happening too you. Addictions are hard to get rid off and they take a long time to recover. My first advice would be changing friendship groups. Or change their ideals and ideas on this topic. Also, mentioning this addiction to your parents is worth mentioning. Please stay safe.

Loads of Love.

First off all you need a red line between you and your friends. You shouldn’t let them convince you. If you know that something is harmful, don’t do it. The people who are precious for you can help you with that. And contact with some places that can help you with your addiction. Because this addiction may make you get addicte to other harmful stuffs. So please try to do some changes iN your life.

Addiction is never the right path for anyone. Dealing with stress is the number one problem in human society. We must understand that there is life ahead of us, whether it’s for 5 hours or 500 years. We should spend that time improving ourselves, not wasting it. I’d recommend your friend to consider how much time is wasted on drinking alcohol and how much it'll in its long-term effects. With that time, he could do anything he wants to improve himself. And if he does, what will he achieve as a result? Success. It’s his choice to decide what kind of success he wants, but with effort, he can achieve anything he desires.

I hope this helps.

It's really sad to hear these things. But you need to know that there are many people struggling with addiction in this day and age. The first step you need to take to address this problem is to admit that you are addicted. Then, the most effective solution is to seek help from a professional psychologist and, if necessary, undergo rehabilitation treatment. I assure you, everything will get better.

Take care

Firstly, Don't get me wrong but, quite frankly it pissed me off to hear how young you are while being addicted to smoking.

I have a few solutions for you, to first make you understand how to quit smoking, I have to break down what makes you addicted to it.

Cigarettes usually have a material called nicotine in them which makes you addicted, you can firstly try changing your social circle because people who smoke can tempt you to do it as well. If that's not the issue, you can try using nicotine gum to attempt quitting smoking with your parents consent, and after you switch to nicotine gum. You can chew less portions of nicotine gum whenever you want to smoke in 2 weeks, or you can get cigarettes without nicotine. It can help you get bored of it and quit, making you never smoke a cigarette again. Actors in films use these so that they don't get addicted.

You should contact a therapist for him to verify these methods as I do not know how applicable they are, and they may also have better solutions to this problem of yours. Have a nice one and stay safe.

Sincerely, Güney

AGMTAL

To start off, As sad as it is to break this down, It seems to me that you are in the wrong social circle of friends, if they are even your ''friends''. My advice for you is to get support by any means and anyone that can help to quit this social circle and find a new one. Trust me, There are many people like you who have overcome this and it doesn't mean you can't. You have to believe in yourself and say no to people who try to tempt you. Stay safe and stay vigilant.

Sincerely, Güney

AGMTAL

Starting off, I'd like to say I hope you have started to quit smoking by now, it is hard process but trust me you CAN quit. You can get special therapy, you can ask your family for help as well. They will gladly help you, never give up, your health is very important to you and ones who love you.

Remember to never let go of your will to quit. You are gonna see the changes and health benefits, believe me or not.

Have a nice day and stay vigilant.

Loves, Güney

First off, You should really try to quit it as much as you can, I know it's hard to let go of such addictions, it will be hard but you can still overcome it. You can Start by decreasing the amount you smoke, using prop cigarettes without nicotine, or chewing nicotine gum etc. can help. Choosing your friends carefully is also very important. My advice is for you to seek help from your elders and even get a therapist to fix things because I think you are far too young to smoke, and to quit by yourself. I hope this helps with your problem. Stay safe, stay vigilant.

Sincerely, Güney

AGMTAL

Firstly, It seems to me that you need to put a red line between you and your friends, or let alone change your friendzone. You shouldn’t let them convince you to stuff like this. If you know that something is harmful, don’t do it, at the start you might think ''oh, it's not so bad.'' trust me, it is. The people who are precious for you can help you with issues like such. These can be your elders, your therapist or more. Contact with some places that can help you with your addiction, like addiction hotlines if you have any. This addiction may make you get addicted to more harmful stuff and it can also affect your relationship with loved ones badly. So you really need to try and make some changes in your life. Stay safe, stay vigilant.

Sincerely, Güney

AGMTAL

Firstly, I'd like to say and suggest that you need some really supportive people around you for issues like this. It has come to my attention when you've told us alcohol beats your stress. I think it just numbs you down like a tranquilizer. You should do other rehabilitative activities for stress like sports, painting or learning something. You also have told us that you see your parents drinking and smoking. I can't tell how demoralizing this can be but for you and your parents sake, I think you should contact An addiction hotline if there is one in your country. You can talk with your parents and speak about how these addictions are harmful and unhealthy, let alone tell them how breaking it can be for relationships with loved ones. Stay safe, stay vigilant and I hope you can solve your problem.

Sincerely, Güney
