What's the best way to stop teenage smoking?
I'm only 17 and I'm getting scared that I have esophageal cancer because I have theses wired looking small white lumps starting to form in the upper throat and I don't know if I've never just noticed them or if it's a result from smoking, and also its getting harder to clear my throat. I've been a heavy smoker for almost 2 years, smoking almost a pack in a day I really really wanna get off of this habit.
I've tried quoting before many times n the longest I lasted was a day.
What are your opinions, please I just really don't want this habit to be with me forever but I really didn't believe would be so hard.

The bumps are normal everyone has them. If you don't believe me ask your mom to open her mouth and look (if she smokes..they might even be there if she doesn't)!
And I would slow down on the smoking or you are going to have a deep voice soon..I know plenty of women who sound like men(from heavy smoking) and they are even 20 yet. If you have the money for a pack everyday for 2 years you should have enough to go out a get the patch..or some nicotine gum..whoever is your proxy for the cigarettes should be able to get it for. If that doesn't work go to the doctor...they should be able to help with medication.
