Its gonna be VERY painful.
But, you need to stop "cold turkey".
Everytime you have a cigarette.
STARE at it. Slowly breaking it. Mentally prepare yourself for the massive nicotine cravings.
Stomp on all your cigarettes, and no matter what you do.
1 PUFF DOES COUNT AS RUINING YOUR PROGRESS.
So don't have a cigarette anywhere near you for a few months, simply seeing it will set off the nicotine in you.
If worst comes to worst, buy gum, NOT PATCHES. Nobody I know remembers to put patches, so they always end up smoking again, or buying gum eventually.Health Question & Answer

Try searching some photographs of oral cancer and lung cancer (on the net or in some medical book), because this is the end result of smoking for most people. It will remind you, not to smoke.
Try forming a society of such people who want to quit smoking or have quit. Try convincing some others to quit smoking, that will give you a sense of pride which will help you refrain from smoking.Health Question & Answer
