I thought maybe it was time to post this again. I hope it might help some of our newer members.

How do you quit smoking? That is the burning question for many current smokers. The best answer I have heard is this ...

Quit! Then commit to your quit!

Easy? H&LL NO !!!!!

Doable? You bet it is.

Read up on nicotine addiction before you even think about quitting. Gather all your aids that you will need. Find a good support group and ask advice anytime you think you need some.

Most of all, take it one day at a time.

Remember, the journey of 10,000 days can only be accomplished by taking one step at a time.

Keep your quit going and ask for help when you need it.

Good journey to everyone that is beginning their quit right now.

One Step, And Then Another, Will Get You To Where You Want To Be.

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
