Every night when I lie in bed I decide I'm going to stop.
I never have. It's gotten to the point I actually hate smoking. It's a ridiculous, expensive habit that's killing me.
How can I have so little willpower? I bought an electronic cigarette, but all the reports say it could be more dangerous...
The worst is, people telling me to stop make me want to smoke more.

No doubt smoking is bad for our health. I have been a smoker for 20years. Although at times I feel like quiting, but with the stress I face in my daily life, smoking become a way to help me reduce the stress.
Maybe you can try to reduce how many sticks you smoke each day, take it slowly, don't rush yourself.

Genesis, you right I stop smoking but only for a couple of days. But as you mentioned I think the key to stop smoking is reduce the amount you smoke a day. That can help so much, but you do go through with draws, which is something I wasn't aware of until I tried.

@Tanya33 yes, try to reduce instead of just suddenly stopping. And do bear in mind that if you experience any stressful situation in life, you may smoke even more. It's a habit that's hard to quit but not impossible.

For anything a person does whether it be smoking, drinking, over eating, etc there is nothing really that can help make a person stop unless it is a will power deep within, making a person want to stop. Have you thought of trying the patch? Good luck trying to quit.
