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.
So, when you are sick of smoking, the first thing for you to do is look at the reasons that led you to this point. You may 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. Whatever the reason(s) you must realize that the desire to quit alone is not strong enough to help you quit. In fact, it is not enough for 97% of the people. Only 3% might be as desperate to take the jump regardless of the consequences.
Before you attempt to quit, you must first remove as much emotion from the process as humanly possible for although you are depressed or emotionally charged at the moment, it is not possible to maintain that level of anger or desperation long enough to see you through the quitting process.
You may 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. Look at your reasons and write down all the emotions and reasons you want to quit. These reasons will help you on your journey to becoming a non-smoker.
Note your reasons for quitting and then fortify them by searching the internet for as much useful information as you can find. Information is power. The more you know about the task at hand, the less hold the nicotine monster will have over you.
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.
No matter which program you ultimately choose, you must do one all important thing - YOU MUST USE IT!
The mind will make hundreds of excuses to tell you that you can start using the program tomorrow. But tomorrow never comes. When it comes, it comes as today, and then you wait for the next day. Always remember, if you don't start now, you probably won't start at all. So, get the information you need - order a program - and start using it now.
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.
Happy journey,
