My mother is trying to quit smoking. She is 62, and has smoked ever since she was 15 I believe. She is on day four so far, but says she wants a smoke. I want to try to help her any way that I can. I saw a thing on TV a while ago that you put on your ear, and it supposedly helps you quit smoking. I can't remember what it is called, but I am hoping that someone on here knows.
That thing you put on your ear to help you quit smoking...

accually there is spot on the ear that is a pressure point that help you satisfy the craving and help you not want to smoke, but don't remember much else, maybe this is what your talking about was it a ring clamp thing? i think i seen that in a comercial..sorry for not helping much,...
As I recall, it looks something like a watch battery. I think you put one on each side of your ear too.
I found a product called Zero Smoke that looks like what I seen on TV, but the name doesn't sound right to me.
yeah i seen that one too its a magnet,. i don't think that could work but who knows mind over matter right?
I don't know. I hope she can quit though. Her record before was four days, and she is already on her fourth day this time.
Sorry to bust your bubble, but as a smoking veteran of 15 years, I have tried just about everything including magnets. They don't work, just try bieng supportive tell your mom how proud you are that she is quitting, accent the benifits of her quitting now, also breath mints helped me as a physical something to do.
Being supportive doesn't work. If someone says anything at all to her about it, she just thinks they are trying to rub it in that she is not smoking.
I have heard great things about that pill, Chantix (I think that's what it's called) for quitting smoking. I am a smoker and haven't personally tried it but have a few friends who said that it was the best thing, no cravings whatsoever. Maybe have her talk to her doctor about it?
my mother quit for over 8 months
but she said she didn't have any craving but she didn't have anything to do with her hands that held cigs, so she cut a straw to size and stuff kleenex into one end and puffed on that and worked fine but she decided to smoke any way, just for the h*ll of it but she has sence died over 5 years ago, i say as a result of few things including smoking, had a hemmoragic stroke.. age 64,.high bp. no more mom, fine one minute no hope the next, bled till died.. please stop her from smoking and let her know i want her to live longer for her family that loves her.. for i haven't gotten over my mother even yet, still have nightmares..
