And now you are REALLY depressed!

How can you buy cigarettes? You are under 18.

Take a look at this site. They give some helpful tips on how to quit. It won't be easy, but you've only been smoking for a short time, so it shouldn't be that hard.

You also need to deal with your depression. In fact, out of the two issues, I think the depression is the one that needs to be addressed first.

Good luck.

Sweetie, if you set your mind to you it you can do anything I have been down this road but I started when I was 12 & I am now 19 at first it will not be easy but over time it gets easier as life goes on, since you are at a young age it is time to quit before it is too late & your hooked for life. Things I did, I smoked when I was stressed, I was a sociable smoker, I smoked while on break at work, Any time I had the chance to smoke I did.
Things that helped me quit smoking without all the stuff shown on t.v. I did it all on my own, I'm not saying it is ever easy nothing is easy in life but if you set your mind to it you can do it,
I chewed a piece of gum when I wanted just a drag I used mints, jolly ranchers any type of candy when. I wanted a drag when I was with friends, I would not go outside when they smoked but if they wanted me to go outside with them I would say "no" to the offer if I got a cigarette and I smoked I would take less drags out of the cigarette & just hold it in my hand just to smell the cigarette scent, & eventually overtime you overcome smoking.
