im afraid theres no easy way around this one because of the fact its an addict habbit. the best advice is to pick a date and prepare - get rid of all ashtrays, lighters etc. when that day comes then stop the cigs. you will need alot of willpower! if you can get nicotine replacement theraphy from your doctor - comes in lots of different forms, patches, gum, inhalors, nasal sprays. these are useful cas take the urge off your cravings.
keep busy aswell to keep your mind off the cigs. snack on healthy things because you will find you will prob eat more to replace to hand to mouth action. try and stay away from places where you would usually smoke...trigger places. eg if u smoke alot while talking on the phone try and find something else to do because these will be hard times.
not every smoker sucessfully gives up first time and dont punish yourself if you relapse! it all takes time and isnt easy.
ooo also treat yourself to something. put the money you would have spent on cigs in a jar and watch the pennies pile up! then by yourself something nice. there are alot of support groups and websites out there and you can often pair up with a buddy and email support to each other
good luck - its tough!
