I smoked for 7 years and I throughout those last 4 years I struggled to quit and always failed. My failures were due to the fact that deep down inside I did not want to quit. Kicking the habit involves really wanting to quit. You have to really want this. Think about all the positive things you will gain from quitting such as your lungs recovering having a better sense of smell smelling better to others better taste buds better skin living longer being healthier in general and preventing lung disease cancer. Be mentally prepared and the best way honestly is cold turkey. Every time you feel like picking up a cigarette relate it to all these nasty things that you do not want or become. That's how I quit. Good luck.
EDIT: My boyfriend wanted me to tell you that every time you crave for a cigarette tell yourself that it's your lungs trying to heal itself. would you rather have a cigarette or live.? and if you have kids would you want them to visit you in the hospital breathing out of a tube from your throat.Health Question & Answer

OK cold turkey does not work. Ill give you my program that actually does work if you have the patience.
Basically, you smoke less every week until you aren't smoking at all.
Say you smoke a pack a day. In week 1, you can smoke a pack a day. In week 2, you can smoke 19 cigs a day, week3 18 and so on. When you get down to one a day, you can begin to go full days without smoking. Gradually you increase the amount of days you dont smoke until you are cig-free.
The most important thing about this program is to keep track of how much you smoke, and NEVER oversmoke. If you are finding it difficult, wait two weeks until you drop a cig but never go back up.
Even if this doesnt get you smoke free, it will reduce the amount you smoke.Health Question & Answer

I started when I was 16 too. I quit 4 years ago when I was 42 . I smoked 1 to 2 packs a day. When I quit, I got rid of all smoking materials. No cigarettes, no ashtrays, no lighters. I used little jawbreakers to ease the strain. They aren't too fattening but they did distract me. The first week or two was probably the hardest but I just made a decision that I was NOT going to go buy anymore. I also have a little program on my computer that tracks how long I have stayed smoke free. It is a great motivator. Good Luck and have faith in yourself. You CAN do this!!Health Question & Answer
I started smoking when I was about 20 (curiosity made me start). I was doing 2 packs a day for nearly 2 months when suddenly 'grace' reset some mental switches and the urge just left me. Yes, all of a sudden, no action on my part. I am still grateful for that (and yes, I started drinking too and again the switches in the brain/mind were reset by some invisible hand).
