Well, as far as I know discipline is the best to stop smoking. If someone didn't have that qualities they can't stop smoking. How can anyone stop smoking if they don't prevent themselves to do such vices. How can they stop if they always think about it and wanted to have it? If someone say I quit...she/he quit at once no need to have something to stop her/him in doing such vices...

Like your friend, I've been a smoker for several years and I would like to quit as well. However, it seems like every time that I've been doing a good job with slowing down or quitting my smoking, I will come across some sort of a major stressor in my life. With that said, I've found that the best way to start to quit is to find something to substitute the habit with. For me, it is having something that I can chew on, but the replacement for another person might be something that is totally different.

Addiction to smoking is a serious issue spoiling so many person's life. A person must has an intense desire to stop it to get a certain freedom from this habit. A group decision taken by friends to stop smoking is found to be with good results. There are counseling and de addiction centers for affective solutions.
