How do I stop smoking?Choose a specific quit date. Instead of trying to quit each year on your birthday or for your New Year-s Resolution, try quitting on a Monday! That gives you 52 chances in a year instead of just one -– making it more likely that you’ll succeed.
Between your decision to quit smoking and your -quit date-, do not smoke the same brand. The difference in flavors and chemicals will making smoking less enjoyable, but not intolerable. Switching brands also helps to ‘de-automate’ smoking, which can help you become more conscious of your habit and increase your chances for success.
Remove all tobacco products, like lighters and matches from your home and office. Also, don-t even keep a pack of cigarettes at your home, because it will make it easier to start smoking again.
Find a medication or a doctor to help you quit smoking. Nicotine replacement therapy is one option. Nicotine patches release a steady stream of nicotine into your bloodstream through your skin, and nicotine gum delivers nicotine through the lining in your mouth. Other forms of nicotine replacement therapy include nicotine sprays and inhalers that also work by delivering nicotine to your body. You may also want to try an e-cigarette, which delivers nicotine in vapor form. Alternatively, ask your doctor about prescription medications to help you quit.
Survive the first week. Use a cigarette substitute like mints, sunflower seeds, toothpicks, and coffee stirrers to help you get used to not smoking. When you were smoking, your mind and body became accustomed to the physical act of smoking, holding the cigarette in your hand, and putting it to your lips; using harmless substitutes eases the psychological transition to not smoking.
Get some facts. Look up smoking on the internet and find out the history behind it, and what happens to smokers later on in life. Also, get the facts about any quit-smoking product or technique you are considering, as research shows that some are more effective than others.

Of course, it varies with the people who smoke, and how long. I smoked for about a year at school. I was killing myself and I knew it. I used the sources below to help me quit. my mom and dad didn-t know. I guess all I can say right now, is I was really disappointed in myself. I let people down, and I used this is a good reason to quit. I-ve been clean since I started, and I love it. My doctor says -every ciggarette you DON-T smoke is doing you good.- There-s still a achance my lungs can be repaired.

When there-s a will, there-s a way!
Godd luck.This depends on how long you have been smoking.
In general know that you do not have to be your own hero and quit cold turkey. I suggest you start cutting back slowly, even if it is just by a few smokes a day. Set goals and be proud of yourself when you reach them!

Breaking addictions takes time, and there will be slip-ups, but it is all about persistence.

Find something to fill the oral fixation like candy or another hobby.
Find a healthy way to deal with stress/anxiety.
Remember that when you start to quit you will feel better and healthier, It-s a bonus to know you will be around longer with your family and friends.

Good Luck!Start by writing down every time you have a cigarette. It-s a big pain in the butt - that-s part of the deal. Write down the time, rate how bad you need it on a scale of 1-5, and why you-re smoking it. After a few days you-ll be sick of writing them down and may start cutting back just to avoid writing them down. It can also help you be more aware of why you are smoking.

Make yourself smoke outside if you don-t already. That will help you be more aware of how bad it smells once your home starts to smell fresher, plus the inconvenience of going outside will help you cut back. I hope you live up north where it-s cold. ;)

Once you have a baseline of how much you smoke, start to cut back by one cigarette a day, then two a day, and so on. Continue writing it all down. Ask yourself if you really need it each time you go to light one up.

In the meantime, start doing some research about what cigarettes are doing to you. Calculate how much money you are wasting on them. Learn about emphysema and lung cancer. Ask a non-smoker what a smoker smells like. There are so many good reasons to quit, and no good reasons to keep smoking.

The psychological addiction is harder to break than the physical addiction to nicotine, but it can be done. Stay positive. Good luck to you!You can try all the stop smoking aids out there, but the key ingredient to quitting is will power. If you are truly ready to quit, you won-t have any problem dealing with the withdrawal effects. Just take it one day at a time. Stay positive, and you-ll be fine.

Best of luck!won-t lie very hard but after 20 years i put them down i use mints and just sit and realize the smell how awful and it is very hard but i know if i can you can life will be greater but only you can make the change hope you well and remember you can achieve this and i hope you welltry patches nicorette chewy gum etc etc etc hynotism - lolliess --
