It helps if you can start to understand what a great gift life is and what a shame it is to ruin or damage your health. A lot of the smoking habit is on account of the company we keep. You can do what I did and change your company. Be open to to realizing that life has a greater purpose, read inspirational books that will inspire you to be good to yourself, bring out the best in yourself and others.  The one that completely changed my life is the Game of Life and How To Play it by Florence Scovel Shinn.\nIt is a road map to overcoming  habits, correcting wrong thinking and aspiring to greater things in life and it also maps out an exciting journey to the true purpose of life. I do hope you read it.\nIt's an older book but has been re-printed countless times. If you can't buy in stores it will be available on Ebay probably

the question is How addicted are you? I gave up by reading the book How to stop smoking and stay stopped for good by Gillian Riley. I went to the smoking cessation clinic who prescribed me patches and lozenges. It was hard, i know someone who could stop for days at a time yet couldnt completely give up! It is hard yet its well worth it and four years down the line i can have a fag every 6 months yet its just not the same, yet im £1000 a year better off and i dont cough and wheeze in the morning and the numb feeling in my toes has come back. My ex is looking at having his legs amputated as the blood flow and oxygen dosnt reach his toes, still he smokes. the sooner you give up the better. if i can do it you can too!

Tell the people you live and work with not to let you smoke, particularly if they're in a position of authority or don't like you. Eventually you won't be able to smoke anywhere you know people and quitting will become easier

Just wash your walls once after about a year that will help you with the idea to quit I also liked the answer by varakei, makes some sense. I sure wish you luck, I haven't had much luck at it, but who knows with time you just never know what can be done. One habit broken, then another. You know how it works. One step at a time I guess. Good Luck to you....Just dont do it  right before the end of April baddddd timing

You need to be brainwashed. You need to brainwash yourself. It works.\n\nCreate the want first. Tell yourself all day for like 4 days straight. ' I want to quit smoking'. You won't notice a change right away, but don't worry, it will catch up with you soon. \n\nThen change your focus to 'I am not a smoker' say that over and over. Maybe do it for a week. Everyone is different. Even when you stop saying it, and you still want to smoke, it will also catch up with you one day soon. Doesn't matter if it is a lie at the moment, it will become truth.

This is some good advice my doctor gave me about two months ago when I quit (successfully).  Count how many cigarettes you smoke a day, each week you reduce it by one or two (week one 10, week two 9-8 etc).  you do this until you are only left with one cigarette a day and that should be the one smoke that you absolutely needed to have (she called it the "necessary cigarette" or the one you absolutely “needed” to have).  Mine was at night on the fire escape before bed with a cup of tea... (sometimes I still miss it!) yours might be in the morning with a cup of coffee or after lunch.  The point is that you want to get rid of all the arbitrary cigarettes, all those you smoke just because.  If you really don't need it, you don't need it.\n\nSometimes it helps to have a buddy, I quit with my roommate (we kept each other on track).  If you slip and have a cigarette that’s okay, try hard not to buy a pack of cigarettes if you’re out with friends or if you’re stressed.  Bum one but don’t buy any.  The longer you go the longer you can the better chance you have.  My doctor also said that the average person makes at least 7 genuine attempts to kick a habit like smoking before they are successful, but you have to try hard and sincerely regardless.

Ask your boss. They aren't yours anymore!\nWhy quit something and keep trying to control it?

I have NO idea why you would want to do that.  none at all.  But if that's what you want to do, then simply stop.\n\nIt is a matter of self control...discipline! The same is true of smoking, alcohol, drugs, video games, television, etc... \n\nMake a conscious decision to stop and just do it. Some people believe there is more to it then that, but there isn't. Not if you really want to stop.  But again, the question is, why would you want to stop.\n\nSo long as you are not hurting anyone, who cares what you do. There is nothing evil, bad or immoral with either practice so long as you don’t hurt anyone. (Physically, emotionally or mentally...including yourself, the other person or anyone associated with you or the other person. )  \n\nI hope this helps.

Quitting smoking is not an easy task. Just like other additctions the person(s) must really want to quit. That is the first step. Then, trying the patch or the gum. If one can't use them, then everytime you want a cigarette, you wait until as long as you can. Believe me this will help reduce the amount of cigarettes and can eventually lead to quitiing. Finally, if all else fails, quit cold turkey! Since smoking is a hand and mouth thing. Try just holding the cigarette and chewing some gum or sucking on hard candy.

Set a goal each day to make it through without smoking. The key is to take one day at a time. \n\nStay away from your triggers: Coffee, tea and alcohol are well-known triggers for smokers.\n\nReward yourself!\n\nThere are plenty of websites that offer tips and support for those trying to quit.

One way is to stop hanging with those friends of yours who do it with you.  Stop calling them and don't answer their calls.  If you really want to quit, that should be easy. \n\nAsk a friend of yours who doesn't do crack if you could stay with her /him for awhile.  Be honest and don't put her/him though hell like you have so many others.   \n\nAlso make sure you have plenty of weed.  It makes it easier than cutting yourself off completely.

Make sure you surround yourself with support from before your quit date arrives.  I found online forums most useful as we were all experiencing the same thing.  I'm proud to say I'm now over 3 months quit.\n\nGood luck with it and below I've provided a link to one of the great sites I found most helpful.

I used to smoke, the only way that I did it was pure willpower and mind over matter.  You can do anything that you set your mind to, if you truly want it bad enough.  So, go over again the reasons why you want to stop smoking, is it for yourself or for someone else?  If it is for yourself, then you are already half way there.  Also, while you are trying to quit, don't put yourself into situations or environments where you are going to be tempted to smoke because other people are smoking.  Last but not least, make sure you have the support of your friends and family.  If you are trying to stop smoking, others should respect this and not smoke around you.

The most helpful thing I did was to reprogram my brain.... Instead of saying you are giving up smoking, say "I don't smoke". What you tell your brain, becomes the truth. Sounds funny, but it worked for me. You can also change some of your habits. If you always smoke after a meal then do something else to take it's place. Keep in mind that you are adding years to your life by achieving your goal.

There are a lot of products available, but there weren't when I quit.  So, I used the "cold turkey" method.  The longer you've smoked, the harder that one is, but it can be done.  However, nicotine addiction is the first and most important task to accomplish.  Long-term smokers have a tougher time without help.  Here's some info on kicking the addiction from the American Lung Association.
