We helped a co worker stop smoking.......He wanted help so we told him if we caught him smoking we were going to kick him in the nuts.

Firstly, u have to reduce gradually. Like instead of smoking before breakfast, make sure u have your breakfast first. Or, do not bring your cigarrettes to places where u know the people there do not smoke. Learn to turn down offers of cigarettes
When u have reduced your consumption to a level where u think u can stop totally, do it & never touch another stick again.
Before u do that, make sure u have the support of your family. Better still, include your colleagues & friends. Tell them u will be agitated & uptight; patience will be short; temper might even flare.
Do not use sweets & pickles as substitutes as u might get addicted to them; morover, they are not healthy food if consumed in large quantities.
Exercise & keep yourself occupied to contain the urge.
The 1st week will be tough, but if u keep at it, the urge will gradually be reduced.
But always remember, never, never touch another stick again!
All the best!
Be proud of your achievements. I am.

Dont worry dude you're not alone. I have tried many many times to stop but each time it just got heavier and heavier. I have given up. I just don't have the will power and discipline to make it. I love smoking to much and right now its the only thing that keeps me going in a difficult world. My advice is to stop when you really know you can. In the meantime enjoy!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like lack of self discipline to me. Set a date and just stop. Tell your spouse that you will do the dishes for two years if you break it. That will make you think twice about it before restarting.

Focus....
If you want to stop smoking, make sure you set your mind that you want to do it and will never ever be distructed eventhough you are craving, you smell it...or somebody offers you to have one.

the best way is to reduce it slowly and that will make it easier on you to quit.
