You would think the answer to that would be fairly obvious - you just quit! But I am afraid that would be the answer you've already heard from countless others who have either never smoked in the first place or have never successfully quit themselves.
So here is some advice from a smoker of twenty years who quit 10 years back.
It doesn't matter if you want to quit because you have smoker's cough; a serious health scare; desire a better environment for your children; or just want to quit for yourself because you know it is the right thing to do - the absolute first thing you must realize is that the desire to quit alone is not strong enough for most people - 97% in fact. I know you are desperate. I know you want to quit right now and at this moment, and I feel your pain. But I beg of you, don't do it!
If you belong to the majority, you need to think, plan and use a strategy to get rid of an old habit.
Before you attempt to quit, try to remove as much emotion from the process as it is humanly possible. You may be angry emotionally charged at the moment, but you won't be able to maintain that level of anger or desperation long enough to see you through the quitting process.
Use your reasons instead to help you on your journey to becoming a non-smoker; your emotions will only keep you wound up.
Once you have the desired information, buy a 'stop smoking program' that addresses your concerns about quitting. Make sure the program is a step-by-step guide that gives you the resolve to beat this nasty habit.
And, for heaven's sake, don't stop here. Once you have got the program, please use it!
Buying a program and then leaving it in the package will do nothing other than keep you smoking because you have a stop smoking kit available that you will 'get to someday'. Someday is too late. Get the information you need - order a program - and use it. You'll be glad you did.
You'll be glad you did because it is the first step that is the most difficult. Once, you have taken the first step you will sail through the rest of the process.
To your success,
