To quit smoking, you can do the following things:
Write down the reasons why you smoke.
Know in which situations you like to smoke best.
You should know these situations very well (for example, when you are having a good time) and start to think of a solution for how you want to deal with that situation. More.
Determine the day you will stop. That can be tomorrow, but you can also wait for a more favourable moment.
Tell the people around you that you are going to quit. Possibly with somebody else.
Take away everything that reminds you of smoking.
Stop radically; it gives you the best chance of success.
Change your eating and drinking habits. Drink a lot of water, eat a lot of fresh fruit and be aware of 'pleasure drinks' like coffee, tea and alcohol.
Take care of enough physical relaxation. Go for a walk or a ride or go swimming.
Reward yourself. Do nice things or give yourself something, like a cd or clothes.
If you fall back, don't give up. Find out in what situation it happened and try to find out with what (alternative) behaviour you can react in the future. If you manage to come through the same situation next time, you have become stronger.
The desire to smoke is one of the first things you notice when you stop smoking. Such a moment lasts a few minutes. It comes, stays for a while and then goes. If you have stopped smoking recently, you will have that desire more often than after a few weeks. After a while, the periods between 'wanting to smoke' get longer and longer. Ultimately, the desire to smoke diminishes. Nicotine patches, self-help books and your doctor can help you to stop smoking. Also, health care centres usually have special "quit smoking" programs.

Ask a science student to make an experiment on effects of smoking using 2 pieces of white cottons as a model for lungs. Within only 3 minutes, you will notice the change in colour (from white to yellow) and just imagine if your lungs are similar to these pieces of cottons, what may be the colour of your lungs.
I'll tell you, your lungs are covered with a thick layer of asphalt and it is black and solid as rock as they ARE rock.
you may be having severe coughs and these coughs cause the breaking down of your alveolar walls WHICH LEADS TO SEVERE BREATHING DIFFICULTY.
eat sugar-free chewing gum throughout the day. it is better than eating snacks and growing fatter.
and i almost forgot ...................see your teeth in the mirror and tell yourself that you want white teeth.
Hope that helps
Good luck!!!

Once you have decided that you are going to be a non smoker, it sounds too staight foward but just don't think about it. Preferably dont tell anyone so they can't keep reminding you. In my experience people who stress too much about quiting usually stress themselves back into it. Once you've made that decition - don't ever look back. If you have a strong mind, its a sinch.

Be sure to NOT TELL everyone that you are quitting!
This way they can't remind you that you want to smoke!!!

Go view an autopsy on a dead smoker, or look on the web. The photos will stun you.
