Hi You have to be ready to quit. Read and learn from others and find something else to do with your hands. I just decided that smoking was no longer going to be an option. So I had to learn to deal with out a smoke. You can do it you just have to be ready. Good Luck!
You have to want to be a nonsmoker more than you want to be a smoker (IN MY OPINION) there are just way too many people who say they want to quit smoking but don't. The reason they don't is because they want to quit smoking but they do not want to give up the cigarettes to do it.You have to learn to live without a cigarette, please read an follow what hwc gave you. Otherwise you will be putting yourself through hell try after try after try. This is possible! I smoked for 37 years and thought I would never last a day without a cigarette. But once I did, I was amazed at what I learned and how bad just one cigarette can be. You can do this!
my advice do what HWC said, and also Sandra hit it on the head. Remember a successful quit is because you have figured out this really is a mind thing. The physical part goes pretty quick, but mentally...well that is the challenge and you have to get yourself through reading and understanding to see that no matter what smoking is no longer an option, ever:) I smoked for 38 years and I did it, so can you:)
just dont light it up , dont smoke ... look you and you only are in control of your body you decide what goes in , no one can do this for you do you want to be a non- smoker if yes then fine be a non-smoker........... you are the only one making the choice here
