Cigarette smoking, and even smoking cigars or a pipe, is one of the greatest risk factors for a heart attack as well as for stroke, lung cancer, and emphysema.
To stop smoking:
Set a quit date. Smoking cessation is most successful when it's done "cold turkey," not slowly by reducing the number of cigarettes smoked daily.
Throw them out. Throw away all cigarettes and matches at home, in your car, and at work. Put away ash trays and lighters.
Share your goal. Tell your family and friends you're quitting and ask for their support.
Avoid triggers. Avoid alcohol, coffee, and other triggers for smoking.
Set a no-smoking policy. Do not allow anyone to smoke in your home or car, and avoid other people when they are smoking.
Get tools. Take advantage of the available stop-smoking aids: nicotine replacements, drug therapy, and counseling. Less than 1 in 10 smokers can quit without some help. Nicotine gums, skin patches, and lozenges are available over the counter. Nicotine nasal sprays and inhalers require a prescription from your doctor. Don't smoke when using these products.
Get a prescription. Bupropion (Zyban) and varenicline (Chantix) are two prescription-only medications that may help you quit. Start taking one of these drugs shortly before your quit date.
Join a support group. Find a source of individual or group counseling. Counseling alone can be helpful, but it is particularly useful in combination with nicotine replacements or smoking cessation drugs.
Call the Quit Line. Call the National Cancer Institute Smoking Quit Line if you need more help. Their toll-free number is 1-877-44U-QUIT.
Though these measures and help aids considerably boost the chances of quitting, there's a more than 50 percent chance that a smoker who quits will start again. I hope this doesn't happen to you, but if it does, don't give up. Announce another quit date and start stopping again.

Set a date to quit. Remove all tobacco products from your house, car, and work. Tell everyone you are going to quit so they can help support you. Have hard candy, gum, cinnamon sticks, handy for your need to put something in your mouth. If you think you will need the help try the patches, or the new losenges(they don't taste bad). Just don't suck on the losenge till its gone, it will irritate the mouth, only have it in your mouth till the urge goes away. Take a small jar with a lid and fill with ashtray contents. Close up and save for when you want to quit...When you are jonesing for a smoke, open up the jar and smell the reward. :You will find it very offensive.....It will help. Join a group that is quitting, lots of support there. Good luck and good health......

Simply stated, smoking is an oral fixation. So, in order to quit, you need to satisfy that fixation; gum, lolly pop, hard candy, mints. Stay away from other smokers, exercise, eat healthy, drink water. Change your lifestyle to a better one. You will feel so much better once you stop. You can do it. Just understand if you don't, you have an extremely high probability of dying from one or more of the following; lung cancer, heart disease, throat cancer, mouth cancer, larynx cancer, etc. Enough said?
I watched a beloved family member die from lung cancer. You don't want to do that to your family or yourself, do you?
