Please pray for me to be relieved from cigarettes. I want to be free from the bondage of cigarettes and anything that prevents the Holy Spirit from resting in me.

While it would be best to get rid of all substances we inhale, both my oncologist and my family physician told me electronic cigarets are relatively safe so long as you use American made fluid. The ones they sell in the stores are no good. They are both a waste of money in that they are not effective and they come from China where only the good Lord knows what they put into them.
I mention this because I think the better part of the sin of smoking is in that it harms the body. If there is no harm then there would be no sin. Anyway, my confessor told me that smoking is at worst a venial sin as you neither have true free will and you are not doing it intentionally to hurt yourself. You are doing it because you both enjoy it and are addicted.
Anyway, I recently gave up tobacco cigarets with the help of an electronic cigaret (e cig or ecig). You might wish to try one. Look for an eGo type if you go that way. That’s not a brand name but a type of battery connection. I got mine at pandaecigs.com/Ego-electronic-cigarette-p/egokit.htm for just under $35.00 and that was for a kit of two complete rechargeable ecigs. In addition to the kit, if you decide to go that route, you will need efluid. It comes in different flavors and nicotine strengths. Most people start with 18 mg nicotine strength. A 30ml bottle is roughly 2.5 cartons of cigarets and will run you about $16-19.00. Be warned though tobacco flavors do not taste like smoking tobacco, unless you go with a menthol or clove type tobacco fluid. You can get your fluid on that same site or another company I know that is US based called thevaporisland.com . Both are US made.
Please do some research and make up your own mind as to what is right Many people make the move to electronic cigarets before giving up on nicotine (which is a nearly harmless drug) altogether, but some stay with the electronic cigarette. There is an excellent video on YouTube by a U.K. addiction scientist called “Electronic Cigarets What we Know So Far” that is about an hour long which can be found here: youtu.be/f6KBGH2F63A . There are thousands and thousands of introduction to electronic cigarets videos on YouTube so after you finish that have a look around.
God bless,
Bill

Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle.

Please consider offering it to God as a sacrifice for the conversion of a loved, dear one of yours. This is what freed me from a 30 year addiction to smoking. Each day you don’t smoke is filled with self-denial for the sake of someone else. I quit cold turkey without any non-smoking aids. My family still can’t believe it and looks with wonder at me when I sit or stand beside someone smoking and have no problem with it.
The offering up to God for the conversion of my loved one is only between me and God and my confessor. And now you
.
Thank you also to Our Lady of Perpetual Help who has been with me on this since the start.

As an ex-smoker I can and will be happy to pray for you. I want you to succeed and will be glad to share tips and techniques with you from years of teaching Smoking Cessation programs. PM me if you want support. Hang in there, it can be done.
Memorare
REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

I quit when I realized the underlying desires
behind my addiction. Ask the Lord to show you
that HE is what you need to quit.
Our Father,
who is in heaven,
Your name be held holy,
Your kingdom come,
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

To the Holy Archangel Who Strengthened Our Lord in His Agony
I salute thee, holy Angel who didst comfort my Jesus in His agony, and with thee I praise the most holy Trinity for having chosen thee from among all the holy Angels to comfort and
strengthen Him who is the comfort and strength of all that are in affliction. By the honor thou didst enjoy and by the obedience, humility and love wherewith thou didst assist the sacred Humanity of Jesus, my Savior, when He was fainting for very sorrow at seeing the sins of the world and especially my sins, I beseech thee to obtain for me perfect sorrow for my sins; deign to strengthen me in the afflictions that now overwhelm me, and in all the other trials, to which I shall be exposed henceforth and, in particular, when I find myself in my final agony.
Amen
Peace
